10. Stop asking questions and just report on her malfeasance. Don't give her public time

She’s clearly come prepared to just attack the Senators so don’t give her that opportunity anymore.

She’s lost the chance at having a dialogue.

Spend the time reporting her crimes. I’m sure the Republican chair will give Bondi the chance to “rebut” anyway, where she’ll filibuster and lie and get in her accusations about each senator but they don’t have to waste their time giving her that chance. It just prolongs her time in the chambers if she isn’t given time during their Q&A and decides to gaslight on her own time.

Senators can say their spiel and then get up and walk away. She can spew into a near-empty room

Congressional hearings have gone way beyond a appointee trying to avoid questions. Turned into verbal MMA. RoeVWade Oct 7 #7

Sen Schiff must have heard you, he's going over all the things she didn't answer so far non-stop. RoeVWade Oct 7 #11

Perfect. If she's going to gaslight anyway just shut it down Arazi Oct 7 #12
