Has Pam Bondi been put on the hot seat?

The Republicans in the House were in chaos for a day or two, until they finally realized that this was not a good political position for them to be in. They had to produce something for their MAGA followers. A Democratic proposal to make it all public was voted down in Committee, but then Speaker MAGA Johnson contradicted them and said the information needs to be made public. After voting down the Democrats' proposal in the full House, the Republicans did a 180 and finally decided on their position.

Trump goes before the cameras, on his way to his helicopter, to say that he wants AG Bondi to produce all the "credible" evidence for the public. "Credible" might mean that it would include everything that did not mention Trump? After all, he did not want another "Russia, Russia, Russia" hoax, he said. Then he wanted everyone, especially Bondi, to know that the files were created by "Obama, Clinton, Brennan, Comey" and others. He set the table for her.

So she has a choice. Does she produce all the documents, without Trump? Or does she produce all the documents, period? Trump is depending on her to be loyal enough to keep him clean. In my opinion, that is where she is sitting today - on the hot seat.
