During a moment of civility in a contentious hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi and California Congressman Eric Swalwell agreed that death threats against members of Congress and their families are out of bounds.

Rep. Swalwell talked about threats that he has received along with his family members, his wife and children. In one case, he said, someone called his office and said they wished Swalwell, his wife and his children would be shot.

"The president can come after me. It's fine. I'm in the arena. So are these folks," Swalwell said. "But we never expected that the Department of Justice would not seek to prosecute and investigate those who are making threats against us. And that would include those on that side of the aisle. I'm just asking for your help to protect life because life is at risk with the environment we're in right now."

"Congressman, I completely agree with you," Bondi said. "I know about several of those personally involving you. I believe one has been charged publicly and there's something I would be happy to talk to you about off camera. I can assure you that they are very serious. They are being looked into and I can give you more details on those."

1. Bondi does not care at all about the lives of Americans, especially Democrats.

[DeeDeeNY]

2. Other than herself, she cares about one life

And plays to an audience of one

4. She works for Trump, not the American people.

7. Absolutely - and Pam Bunny KNOWS that Cheeto would love to see someone "rid him of these meddlesome congressmen"

The bleached harlot knows that her job - should that (God forbid) happen - would be to:

a) help bring it about by withholding knowledge of said threat from the target;

and b) cover it up and viciously deflect blame.

3. Sure do not care about children, unless of course if they are of the 1%

5. she only cares about her own life.

just another narcissist.

6. She certainly has no problem with lying.

I have little doubt that she is lying about her concern for threatened democratic office holders.
