The purpose of Bondi in that moment was to de-legitimise congressional hearings. It's just another attack against the institutional power of elected bodies, and a consolidation of power in executives. Study how democracies become autocracies. This shit goes back to the Roman Empire. The first few years of Augustus's reign were the Republic still being under the illusion it was a Republic. By the time he died and Tiberius inherited his power, there was exceedingly little of that illusion left.

If you can waltz into a congressional hearing, attack elected representatives, ignore decorum, ignore the rules of conduct, ignore process, and WALK OUT WITH YOUR JOB INTACT then the point is made that nothing that happened in that room actually matters. That's the message from the Trump administration to the American people.

People have a tendency to describe this political climate as "insane". That doesn't have enough descriptive value. It doesn't explain anything. Why is what is happening, happening? The above is why. She was sent in there to break the process. She did.

I think it goes without saying that in pretty much any other state of employment she would have been fired long ago for her immensely unprofessional and inappropriate conduct.
