Former Attorney General Pam Bondi told the House Oversight Committee on Friday that then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was in charge of the Justice Department’s botched release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and acknowledged that there were “redaction errors” in the handling of documents, according to Bondi’s opening statement obtained by MS NOW.

“As the head of a large Department with broad responsibilities, I did not lead every aspect of this effort or conduct that document review myself,” Bondi said in her prepared remarks. “I delegated oversight over this process to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.” Blanche was named acting attorney general in April after Bondi was fired by President Donald Trump.

Unfortunately, she conveniently "got cancer", so she might not live to see punishment or be pressured enough to tell.

Maybe they should be asking her how it all happened under her watch as AG of Florida in the first place.

Then he needs to testify next. Who will he put the blame on? Have any DOJ attorneys died recently?

It was Dick Cheney. He took control of the DoJ for that one day..!

We're you his boss? Great it's your responsibility then. I don't care how involved or not you were. I don't care how you delegated those responsibilities they are yours

So, we're going with the Shaggy Defense, then. It's an interesting strategy, Cotton.
