President Donald Trump’s legal team brought up Pam Bondi at the end of the first day, where she proclaimed that the Republicans didn’t want to have to address Joe Biden, but they’re now forced to because the House brought it up. It was a hilarious claim since it has been the Republican’s excuse for Trump breaking the law to begin with.

Report Advertisement Bondi was criticized for basically doing what Ukraine refused — smear the Biden family and put them on trial. But as one professor and legal analyst pointed out, if what the Bidens had done was illegal, Attorney General Bill Barr would have prosecuted them. It’s been nearly four years and he still hasn’t.

Bondy then went on to attack “nepotism,” claiming that Biden’s son working for a company in Ukraine wasn’t above board. The web couldn’t help but notice the hypocrisy of the statement, given Trump’s own children work in the White House, are employed by his campaign and the Republican Party and many conservative groups who bought Trump’s son’s book to donate to their donors.

Others couldn’t help but recall the $25,000 bribe that Bondi took from Trump’s foundation so she would drop Florida out of the lawsuit against Trump University. That donation ultimately got Trump into trouble and his charity was forced to close down and pay a hefty fine.

Bondi also was caught making double with Biden’s son was from Qatar. You can see the rest of the responses below:

‘ZERO DOUBT WE’RE GETTING WITNESSES’: TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM BRACING FOR GOP DEFECTIONS

Published

Travis Gettys

If at least four Senate Republicans vote to subpoena additional witnesses and documents -- that could trigger a domino effect. Sources close to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will likely try to reach an agreement with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer if it appears likely that 51 senators will vote for new testimony, with demands for GOP witnesses, rather than going to a vote, reported Axios

.

The most likely GOP defectors remain Sens. Susan Collins (ME), Mitt Romney (UT), Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Lamar Alexander (TN), but that could put new pressure vulnerable senators up for re-election such as Cory Gardner (CO), Thom Tills (NC), Martha McSally (AZ), Rob Portman (OH), Joni Ernst (IA) and Pat Toomey (PA).

A day after Democratic lawmakers demanded that former National Security Adviser John Bolton testify in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, grassroots political action groups urged the American public to call their representatives and add their voices to the call for a fair trial. "Hearing from first-hand witnesses in the Senate trial is now a necessity," tweeted the progressive group Stand Up America. "Call your senators now and demand a fair trial."

Dean Obeidallah, Salon Donald Trump has been a real estate developer, a TV show host, a casino owner, a politician and more. But through it all, there has been one constant: Trump has surrounded himself with sleazy characters. Oddly enough, those are exactly the people who helped propel him to becoming the 45th president of the United States.That's the thesis of the new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters Michael Rothfeld and Joe Palazzolo, titled aptly enough, "The Fixers: The Bottom-Feeders, Crooked Lawyers, Gossipmongers, and Porn Stars Who Created the 45th President." I spoke with Rothfeld during a recent edition of Salon Talks about the book, a veritable encyclopedia of the unsavory characters that have made Trump who he is, alongside some new reporting.
