Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi made a mockery of newly minted Democrat California Sen. Adam Schiff at her confirmation hearing.

The new senator asked Bondi about her opinions of possible presidential pardons and ongoing investigations when she rocked him for a previous censure he received from Congress.

“Will it be your advice to the President: ‘No, Mr. President. I need to go over them on a case-by-case basis. Do not issue blanket pardons.’ Will that be your advice to the President?” the senator said.

“Senator, I have not looked at any of those files. If confirmed, I will look at the files for the pardons as well as the ongoing investigation,” Bondi responded.

“And will you be able to review hundreds of cases on day one?” Schiff asked the nominee.

“I will look at every file I am asked to look at,” she said. “I’m not going to mislead this body, nor you.”

But it got heated after Bondi took a swipe at Schiff for the censure he received when he was a member of the House after he claimed that he had “evidence” of “Trump-Russia collusion” and for the reports that he allegedly classified information to the press during his tenure as a member of the House Intelligence Committee.

“You were censured by Congress, Senator, for comments just like this that are so reckless!” she said.

She took another swipe at him when he asked about a hypothetical investigation into former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney who was a member of the January 6 Committee.

“I’m asking you, sitting here today, whether you are aware of a factual predicate to investigate Liz Cheney,” the senator said.

 “Senator, no one has asked me to investigate Liz Cheney. That is a hypothetical,” she said before pivoting to Schiff’s home state’s issues with crime.

“The crime rate in California right now is through the roof. Your robberies are 87% higher than the national average. That’s what I want to be focused on, Senator, if I’m confirmed as Attorney General,” she said.
