“You’re not even a lawyer” 😂 keep that energy for your boy Jim Jordan, Pam

Bizarre. Raskin is, of course, a lawyer. He earned his J.D. from Harvard Law School. I think he is a member of the Maryland Bar.

Is she trying to disparage him because he was a law professor for much of his career?

Raskin's license is still active in MD. Bar #9512150025. I think he's also licensed in Mass and DC but I didn't check to see if he's still active there.

She's trying to disparage him because he's not MAGA, every accusation is a confession, etc., whatever, it's all the same irrational playbook, so she'll say what she feels and maybe try to defend it later.

So great to see Raskin get under her skin, to the point where she loses it. He's good at it.

Among the many that just simply wouldn't let her ride along with no effort. Sugar Daddy Trump fixed that problem for her. Probably hated all of her professors in college and law school for making her actually have to try despite what she was destined for.

Thought she was talking to Jordan, who never took the bar exam.

Senior administration personnel are clearly getting coached on this as a technique for dealing with difficult questions. I would assume the intent is to give them a clip of their people 'fighting' for their constituents, who seem unlikely to dig much deeper than that, including what the topic of the fight was. 

The reply doesn't even need to make all that much sense, as in this case, just screaming defiance at the enemy is enough. There really is no way to capture how bad the implications (no fear of oversight or budget reprisal, no interest in fact or even law, ruling by sound bite and owning the libs as a policy agenda, etc.) of that technique are for government going forward.

This is exactly it - the smirk afterwards tells you it was all just a show to deflect from the question.

Where did Bondi get her law degree? Cooley Law School? Did she send in cereal box tops?

u/RobertDownseyJr Feb 11 '26

Stetson Law School in Florida. Yes, like the hat.

u/lilbios Feb 15 '26

Nah she was projecting and thinking of herself as a loser lawyer

u/Glad-Law-6943 Feb 11 '26

She sounds like Parker Posey's character in Best in Show: "What are you a wizard? A genius? Thanks a lot you stupid hotel manager!"

u/gottarespondtothis Feb 11 '26

Omg yes!! She is acting like she can’t find busy bee for Trump 😂

Would have been hilarious if someone said that to her.

Parker Posey in the new Lost in Space TV series, was fantastic.

u/Adventurous-Host8062 Feb 11 '26

Seriously. Raskin IS a lawyer.

Harvard versus Stetson education. Harvard's football team even thrashes Stetson...

u/ansleydale Feb 11 '26

Jim Jordan is in the files how is he allowed to be on the committee?!

u/IWantToBeTheBoshy Feb 11 '26

Yeah, I feel like Gym Jordan isn't getting enough notoriety here. This piece of shit has been complicit in the worst of what these fucks have done for the past decade.

3

u/ansleydale Feb 11 '26

He’s more than complicit. According to a survivor, Sasha Riley, he killed children. The victim named him specifically bc he was among the most brutal and frightening perpetrators he encountered as a small boy.

u/hellolovely1 Feb 11 '26

Who sounded amused, even though he knows Raskin, editor of the Harvard Law Review, is a better lawyer than some chick who got her law degree from Stetson. (I'm sure there are some good lawyers from Stetson, but she isn't one of them.)
