Contributing sentiments towards policy:

33% : The hearing came only a day after the confirmation hearing for Pete Hegseth, the former Fox News host who Trump has chosen for defense secretary.
32% : On the contrary, this was Democrats' opportunity to showcase Bondi's history of election denialism, willingness to excuse January 6 offenders, and the limits, if any, to her fidelity to her former client, Trump, whom she defended in his first impeachment trial.
30% : Yet sadly, through questions that would make courtroom veterans and young prosecutors alike cringe, some Committee members allowed a prepared Bondi to elude clear statements about many of those concerns."The MSNBC legal analyst argues that "one of the most glaring examples" of Democrats dropping the ball during the hearing came when Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois "engaged Bondi about whether Trump lost the 2020 election.
28% : But his insistence on form obscures a larger problem: Neither Trump nor anyone else in his administration needs an actual list to exact retribution by prosecution."
