Stetson grad Pam Bondi scoffs at legal knowledge of senator — who went to Harvard Law

Attorney General Pam Bondi tried to put down a U.S. senator Tuesday as she refused to answer multiple questions — begging to know of Adam Schiff (D-CA), "Do you have a law degree?"

Unfortunately for Bondi, her intended sleight failed as he does — from Harvard Law School.

The law school is ranked sixth in the country, according to U.S. News and World Report.

Stetson University, from which Bondi graduated, is ranked 99th.

Bondi testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday and was asked by Schiff and several other senators about a reported 2024 bribery scheme involving White House Border Czar Tom Homan receiving a bag of cash with $50,000. It launched an FBI probe — though Homan has not been charged — and senators were asking Bondi about what happened to the money.

"So I'm asking you the question, did he take the money?" Schiff asked.

Bondi said she had already answered the question. Schiff pushed back and said he didn't think she had responded to it. Then, she said the investigation was prior to her confirmation as attorney general.

"All I know is that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director [Kash] Patel said there was no case. And Caroline Leavitt is one of the most trustworthy human beings I know," Bondi said.

Then she attacked Schiff, saying she would have fired him if he worked for her.

Schiff didn't hold back, saying "You can stipulate to all your personal attacks on the Democratic members of the committee."

Bondi was visibly upset and responded, "Personal attacks? You've been attacking my FBI director. You've been attacking my office."

Schiff continued talking about the Homan investigation, asking Bondi to respond.

"You're the attorney general. This will be your decision. Will you support..." he asked, then Bondi cut him off.

"Don't tell me what is my decision," she snapped.

"Let me let me do this because I think it's it's valuable that the American people get a sense of what you have refused to answer today," Schiff responded. "So these are just some of the questions you refuse to answer, or have answered with personal attacks on members of this committee. You are asked whether you consulted with career ethics lawyers, as you promised you would do during your nomination hearing, when you approved the president receiving a $400 million gift from the Qataris. You refuse to answer that question. You are asked who or what role you may have played, or who played the role, in asking the Trump's name be flagged in any of the Epstein documents gathered by the FBI? You refuse to answer that question. You were asked whether Homan kept the $50,000 bribe money? You refuse to answer that question. You were asked whether Homan paid taxes on the $50,000 bribe money? You refuse to answer that question. You were asked, did career prosecutors find insufficient evidence to charge James Comey? You refused to answer that question. You were asked, how are military strikes on these boats in the Caribbean legal? And you refuse to even answer that question?"

That's when Bondi asked him if he had a law degree. Schiff ignored her question.

"You were asked by my colleague whether you believe government officials, like immigration officials, have to abide by court orders? You wouldn't even answer that question. This is supposed to be an oversight hearing," Schiff said.

Bondi attempted to interject again.

"Attack me later," Schiff said. "And I know you've got plenty of canned attacks. We've heard them all day today."
