The next four years, there'll be no effort on the part of the Justice Department to pursue political adversaries.

Inversions after so, such, neither, and nor

So will it be your advice to the President, Mr. President, I know you said you want to issue hundreds of pardons on day one.

Will it be your advice to the President, no, Mr. President, I need to go over them on a case-by-case basis.

Will that be your advice to the President?

Senator, I have not looked at any of those files.

If confirmed, I will look at the files for the parties, as well as the ongoing investigation.

And will you be able to review hundreds of cases on day one?

You'll be able to review hundreds of cases on the first day?

Listen, I'm not going to mislead this body, nor you.

Are the felons convicted of breaking into the Capitol on January 6th hostages or patriots, quoting Trump, as President-elect Trump has said repeatedly?

Do you agree with his characterization of the felons that I referred to?

I am not familiar with that statement, Senator.

I just familiarized you with that statement.

On Fox News, you said, when Republicans take back the White House, the Department of Justice, the prosecutors who will be prosecuted, the bad ones, the investigators who will be investigated.

Ms. Bondi, is Jack Smith one of those bad prosecutors that you will prosecute as AG?

Senator, you hesitated a bit when I said the bad ones.

Sometimes badness in the eyes of the beholder.

I'm just asking whether you would consider Jack Smith, Senator, to be one of the people.

No one has been prejudged, nor will anyone be prejudged, if I am confirmed.

I am asking whether these are the kind of people...

Listen, you have no intention, no intention of pursuing people on the basis of them being a political opponent.

No one will be prosecuted, investigated, because they are a political opponent.

That's what we've seen for the last four years in this administration.

People will be prosecuted based on the facts and the law and fairly, Senator.

I disagree about the characterization of the past four years, but we don't have to discuss that with your assurance that the next four years, there will be no effort on the part of the Justice Department to pursue political adversaries.

If confirmed, I will look at the files for the pardons, as well as the ongoing investigation.

I am asked to look at...  So will you advise the President...

I'm not going to mislead this body, nor you.

You were censured by Congress, Senator, for comments just like this that are so reckless.

I will work with all of you in this country for everything that Senator Blackburn said.

We have got to reduce violent crime, and we have got to restore integrity to our law enforcement officers.

Donald Trump, we keep saying he won this election by 77.3 million votes and 312 electoral votes.

Look at the map of California, Senator Schiff.

It's bright red, the popular vote, for a reason.

They want to be safe so they can go to take their children to school, so they can go to church, Senator Hawley.

Of course we care about our economy and what's happening in this world.

But if we're not safe, none of that works.

We have got to work together to make America safe again.

And that, in turn, will make America great again.

And I don't know where that phrase has become a bad word, because I think that's a great one, making America great again.

Most Americans believe that central to the peaceful transition of power in a democracy is the acceptance of the results of an election.

To my knowledge, Donald Trump has never acknowledged the legal results of the 2020 election.

Are you prepared to say today, under oath, without reservation, that Donald Trump lost the presidential contest to Joe Biden in 2020?

Ranking Member Durbin, President Biden is the president of the United States.

He was duly sworn in, and he is the president of the United States.

There was a peaceful transition of power.

President Trump left office and was overwhelmingly elected in 2024.

Do you have any doubts that Joe Biden had the majority of votes, electoral votes, necessary to be elected president in 2020?

You know, Senator, all I can tell you as a prosecutor is from my firsthand experience.

I accept, of course, that Joe Biden is president of the United States.

But what I can tell you is what I saw firsthand when I went to Pennsylvania as an advocate for the campaign.

And I saw so much, you know, not no one from either side of the aisle should want there to be any issues with election integrity in our country.

I think that question deserved a yes or no.

And I think the length of your answer is an indication that you weren't prepared to answer yes.

Do you believe that the January 6 rioters who've been convicted of violent assaults on police officers should be pardoned?

Senator, if confirmed as Attorney General of the United States, the pardons of course fall under the president.
