On Wednesday, Pam Bondi, President-elect Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, flattened California Senator Adam Schiff when he consistently tried to deride her.

Schiff asked whether Bondi had the independence to say no to power, continuing, “The president has said Jack Smith should go to jail. Will you investigate Jack Smith?”

“It would be irresponsible of me to make a commitment regarding anything … without looking at a file,” Bondi responded.

“So you would need a factual predicate to open an investigation into Jack Smith?” Schiff asked.
