Speaker 1: It's unquestionable that Trump and this administration are literally the
epitome of hypocrisy. I mean, at this current moment, the
Epstein files are the center of this issue where Trump
legitimately campaigned. The whole campaign was predicated on releasing the
files and holding people accountable, something that we all desperately want.
But right now they are doing everything in their power
to cover this up. And yesterday, oh dear old Pam
Bondi appeared before the House Oversight and let me be clear,
it was a mess, all right. Bondi literally screened to
Congress members using Trump's playbook of deflection and attacking people
when they don't like the questions ms Now, they literally
put together a compilation of all of her outbursts.
Speaker 2: Play the clip this guy has Trump derangement syndrome. He
needs to get You're a failed politician.
Speaker 1: Not a complicated question.
Speaker 2: H Well, I guess it is for you because you
have a law degree and those are privileged. Do you
even know who Chase Mulligan is. You're so obsessed with you, You're.
Speaker 3: To teach you the rules again?
Speaker 2: You're the Have you apologized to President Trump? Have you
apologized to President Trump? All of you who participated in
those impeachment hearings against Donald Trump. Nothing about helping crime
in her district. She's not even worth getting into the details.
Speaker 1: Excuse me. I'm going to answer the question, answer my question.
Speaker 2: I'm going to answer the question the way I want
to answer the question.
Speaker 3: And I told you about that attorney general before you art.
You don't tell me, Oh, I did tell you because
you saw what you did in the Senate.
Speaker 2: Lawyer, not even a lawyer, Alma question this. Only two
people voted against it, and you were one of them.
Speaker 4: Hypocrite. But we're going to move back to you.
Speaker 2: I bet we are, yes, of course, because you're here
to testify.
Speaker 1: Pandemonium. I mean, it's really what it was. In fact,
it was so shocking to me as somebody, somebody who
had appeared seven times before Congress. What you saw with
Pam BONDI I did seven times. I called my substack
article of the day our congressional colosseum of cruelty, because,
like I said, after seven hearings, seven of these, I
can actually say this with authority because nobody else can.
I can. Seven times. I didn't just testify before Congress.
I literally earned a doctorate degree in political theater, which
is why when I watched Attorney General Pam Bondy yesterday
in that appearance before the House, I felt something. I
don't know, let's just say between deja vu and indigestion.
Because I have seen tough hearings, I have lived through them.
But one unfolded yesterday that wasn't oversight. It was Mattine
performance of who Wants to Marry a Martyr? I mean
literally with the guest star that three Rings book, so
look aoc then turn around and told reporters that she
believes Pam Bondi was screaming because she knows she's implicated
in this massive cover up play the clip.
Speaker 5: I think that we all saw today the performance that
she had. She was screaming, thrashing, and I think it
is because she knows that she is implicated in a
massive cover up to protect a powerful ring of pedophiles
through the redactions, the redactions of the names of perpetrators,
the holding of three million files, the moving of the
unexplained moving of Glaine Maxwell.
Speaker 6: Into a new cushy facility. All of these things are
what she personally oversaw. And that's before even digging into
whatever questions may arise from her history in Florida, and
I think that her thrashing and her very erratic performance
today pointed to the fact that there are real questions
that point to the DOJ under her leadership, and her
leadership specifically, as well as her role in all of this.
Speaker 1: You know again, As I wrote in my substackt, the
hearing quickly devolved into what can only be described as
a Bravo Reunion special without the Glam Squad, except instead
of housewives throwing chairs, it was members of Congress throwing
accusations about the Epstein Files. In fact, Jamie Reskin echoed
a similar point, saying that Bondi's job is to cover
up the Epstein files. Play that clip, and.
Speaker 3: It's I think becoming increasingly clear to America that's what
she's there for, to cover up the entire Epstein conspiracy.
It's not like a coincidence that she's from Florida, that
she was there with alex Acosta. These people, alex Acosta
later becomes Labor Secretary, These people have travel through politics
with Donald Trump, and now her job is to try
to cover up everything that's going on with the Epstein files.
Speaker 1: Let me be clear about something. This cover up's not
going to happen. And it's not going to happen because
you don't have Republicans that are now ciding, believe it
or not, with the administration. You have so many now
who are defecting, saying, Okay, we don't want to lose
our seats because the American people want to see it now.
The most important scandal to come out of the hearing
was actually the realization that the Justice Department this was insane.
I mean, we've all heard about government, you know, tapping
phones and shit like that. Here we learned that the
Justice Department is actually tracking the unredacted Epstein files that
the Congress members are viewing. This week, Welcome back to
The Michael Cohen Show on our continued journey to a
million subscribe, let's go. We need to regrow this community,
So hit subscribe, watch, comment, and share, because this level
of stupidity and all of this craziness, it's got to
come to an end now. I also, on a programming note,
want to let each and every one of you know
that while Maya Kulpa and political beatdown are no longer
going to be shown on the Midas Touch network. My
shows are not going anywhere, and they will be available
on my YouTube channel right here at the Michael Cohne
Show or wherever you get your podcasts now. During Bondie's hearing,
it was actually revealed this was so crazy. It was
revealed that she's tracking what unredacted Epstein documents Congress is viewing.
Let me show you what it said. In the article,
it says this is literally news. Bondie's burn book at
today's House Judiciary hearing appears to include a list of
searches by Representative Jayapaul of the unredacted Epstein files like wow,
and you know how they ended up seeing that picture
at the bottom. That photo was taken by a reporter
as Pam Bondi was going through her book. Now, let
me move on and say that Nancy Mace she also
posted about it. Let me show you what she said
in it. She writes, Yes, I will confirm DJ is
tracking the Epstein documents members of Congress search for Open
and Review. I was able to navigate the system today
and I won't disclose how or the nature of how,
but confirm the DOJ is tagging all documents members of
Congress Search Open and review based on how I confirm this.
There are timestamps associated with this tracking. I mean, this
to me is absolutely insane. This absolutely goes against every
single principle that DOJ should be I don't know should
be doing now. Representative on Jaia Paul. She was actually
the subject of the document in the earlier photo that
I showed you, and a reporter asked her for her reaction,
play the clip.
Speaker 4: What did you make of the dog friendly monitoring search histories?
It is so outrageous. I think we just put out
a tweet on it. I mean I found out about
it because a reporter called me and wanted to know
about the emails that I had searched, and I was like,
how did you know what emails I searched? I mean,
there is a separation of powers for a reason. This
is spying. This is the DOJ spying on members of
Congress and what we search. So we are putting together
a letter with ranking Member Raskin and others on the
committee to say, we need a full accounting of what
you searched for, what you're using it for, and you
need to stop that. We need a new process that
assures us that you are not spying on members of Congress.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, right, think about what she just said there.
Oh my gosh, we're putting together a letter. Oh my god,
we put out a post on our anger and for this. Now, no, no, no,
that's not that's not enough. That's not enough. Need to
immediately immediately bring in action right there to the floor
in regard to whoever it was that's set up. I
want to see whoever it was that set up the system.
I want to bring them in for questioning because if
this comes all the way from the top, meaning from Pambondi,
that's an impeachable offense. Meanwhile, without a court order, they
shouldn't be able to do this. And Representative Reskin he
also spoke with reporters saying that the DOJ is violating
the separation of powers. Play that clip.
Speaker 3: It is a violation of the separation of powers for
them to essentially be monitoring our computer search on the
Epstein file. So I think it's outrageous that they would
do that. And it's Rowellian and we're going to have
some more to say about it.
Speaker 2: So you, Gia Paul was the only person we.
Speaker 3: Have reason to believe that it was happening to everybody
who went over there, that they were monitoring everybody. Well,
what will you have more to say about this later?
Speaker 1: I mean just imagine, right, every single item that they
pulled up she already knew, which is why her three
ring binder was so perfectly prepared as a response to
each and every one of them. Meanwhile, Maga Mike Johnson,
he went on Hannity, of course, and he claimed that
the hearing was all theatrics and that the Democrats aren't
really serious.
Speaker 7: Play that clip obviously, Pam Bondi said it. Well, they
turned it into a circus. These are unserious people, and
they demonstrate that with their antics and the committee hearings
now which have turned into theatrics.
Speaker 1: As she said, yeah, I mean, just imagine the theatrics
are coming on simply just the Democrat side, by the way,
the whole thing, the whole thing is a gigantic performance
on both sides of the aisle. Ask the questions. I watched,
for example, as one member, as one member of Congress
turneround and didn't ask a single question. It was a
five minute recitation attacking Pam Bondi. What good does that
really do for us? Isn't the whole purpose to elicit
questions and then to get responses? Isn't that what the
whole purpose of the hearing is? Again, as a doctorate
in this theatrics, somebody who went through it seven times
with the click click, click of all the cameras that
were sitting in front standing room only every move that
you make being documented. I wanted answers. And if she's
not going to give them, no problem, you're released. Come
back tomorrow or next week, and then just keep doing
it again and again and again and then bring to
the floor what you need to now. I do want
to end on a clip of the so called theatrics
literally coming from the Democrats when Bondi accused Representative Becca
Ballant of being anti Semitic, even though, of course balances
own grandfather died in a concentration camp.
Speaker 2: Lay the clip this anti Semitic culture right now, she
voted against a resolution contempt condemning.
Speaker 4: Oh you.
Speaker 3: Want to go there, Attorney General, or.
Speaker 2: Do you want to go there?
Speaker 1: Are gentlemen talking.
Speaker 2: To a woman who lost her grandfather.
Speaker 3: The committee will talk to Jared Wise about anti semit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be clear about one last thing, as
I finished with my sub stack again, our congressional colisseum
of cruelty. You know what we really wanted out of
all of this, What should have shifted the room. The
eleven victims of Jeffrey Epstein who sat in that chamber,
the eleven real people, real survivors, real pain, wearing shirts
calling out the redactions that have concealed more truth than
they have protected privacy. And when asked if they had
met with Trump's DOJ, every single one of them raised
their hand to say that they had not. And it
was that moment that should have silenced this theatrics. It's
that moment that should have cut through the partisan fog
like a blade, but it didn't. And that's why I
say stay with me, be a part of the community,
because this is stupidity. It's got to stop. And as always,
thanks for listening. Hey everyone, First of all, thanks for watching.
I mean, we're going to be posting dale the episodes
with reactions and talking about politics. We'll be talking about
everything in fact, so please like and subscribe join us
