Does she protest too much?
I have this weird thing, that others of you may have as well. From experience, mine tends to freak me out because of accuracy or reality or what ever you want to call it. That said, what could a ‘gut’ know? Mine more than I care for it to most days.
Bondi was asked questions today. I typically or normally can’t watch things like this. Sometimes I make it through because of closed captions. I’ve never been able to stomach the humiliation of another. Even if that person deserves some of it. I also can’t stomach disrespect, self righteous indignation, moral superiority, especially when it feels that all of those characteristics are missing in someone.
What little bit I was able to take in, I had thoughts. Her deflection and defensiveness is telling. But what do I know. So I type into the search bar, “when confronted with a lie how does a guilty person usually respond”

How do guilty people react when confronted?
A guilty person may avoid answering direct questions, refuse to provide information that could be used against them, or simply disappear altogether. Another telltale sign is that a guilty person may tend to lie or provide false explanations for their behavior.
How does a cheater react when confronted?
Anger and Aggression: In some cases, they may react with anger, becoming hostile or aggressive. This could be an attempt to deflect attention from their wrongdoing. Minimization: Your partner might downplay the matter of the cheating, suggesting it was a one-time mistake or that their cheating doesn’t mean anything.
Do guilty people get mad when accused?
In another experiment, the researchers presented someone accused of robbery and assault, and found that, again, angry reactions were associated with guilt.
Why do liars get angry when confronted?
They get defensive.
They’re trying to make you feel guilty so that you’ll drop the subject. Most of the time, they will be very angry about it and will start to raise their voice. If someone is getting defensive, it’s a sign that they might be hiding something from you.
In fairness, at the bottom of page one, an article from the British Psychological Society titled, “We think anger is a sign of guilt, but it may actually be a better sign of innocence”. The article does close with, “However, it’s true that people who reacted with irritation were taken to be guiltier than those who responded calmly. So until more work is done in this area, it seems worth at least trying not to use someone’s anger level in response to an accusation as a sign of guilt.”
Is it a crime to lie to congress? Yes. Now I’m no fan, but ask James Comey. While the list is probably longer than the one I found with five (5) on it where prosecution was attempted, not much happens. So, basically it is acceptable to lie to congress. Although Haldeman served 18 months and Mitchell 19. Matusow served 44 months of a 25 year sentence. Michael Cohen, sentenced to 3, served 3.
There is a lesson in A Course In Miracles, #153. “In my defenselessness my safety lies.”
4. Defenses are the costliest of all the prices which the ego would exact. ²In them lies madness in a form so grim that hope of sanity seems but to be an idle dream, beyond the possible. ³The sense of threat the world encourages is so much deeper, and so far beyond the frenzy and intensity of which you can conceive, that you have no idea of all the devastation it has wrought. (ACIM, W-153.4:1-3)
6.⁴Defenselessness can never be attacked, because it recognizes strength so great attack is folly, or a silly game a tired child might play, when he becomes too sleepy to remember what he wants. (ACIM, W-153.6:3-4)
Pam Bondi is guilty. As a woman, I hope she finds a way to live with what she has done to the survivors.
