In the annals of market timing, few calls will age worse than Pam Bondi’s February 11th testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.

The Hearing That Ended Her Career

Facing a room full of Epstein survivors, a subpoena in the mail, and questions she had absolutely no intention of answering, Bondi interrupted the hearing to inform Congress that “The Dow is over 50,000 right now” — and that’s “what we should be talking about.” The Democrats laughed.

Bondi fired back: “I don’t know why you’re laughing.”

We know now. The Dow doesn’t.

The AG Who Cited a Market Top and Got Fired at the Bottom

The index hit its all-time high the day before her testimony — February 10. It has been mostly downhill since. Turns out citing a market top as job performance is a bold strategy. The kind that gets you fired in April.

The rest of the hearing wasn’t much better. She declared herself above “the gutter.” She told Democrats they should be apologizing. She did not, notably, answer a single question about the Epstein files — the one job she actually had.

This was, after all, the same woman who went on Fox News and announced that an Epstein client list was “sitting on my desk right now to review” — only for DOJ to quietly clarify that no such list existed. A desk. A list. A lie. A pink slip. Fourteen months compressed into one beautiful arc.

By the time Trump took the podium Wednesday night to address the nation on the Iran war, Bondi had already lost her job and was on her way back to Florida. She rode in his motorcade in the morning. She was gone by primetime.

The Dow isn’t at 50,000 anymore. The Epstein files are still missing. And Pam Bondi is a civilian.

That’s what we should be talking about.
