The answer is never, probably.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He continued: \u201cSo, a photographer got a shot of her folder. She opened the folder. They got a shot and you see a page that says \u2018Jayapal, Pramila search history.\u2019 That refers to Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat with whom Bondi exchanged one of the most contentious exchanges of the day. The photo appears to show a list of everything Jayapal searched for in the Trump-Epstein files, which, again, we\u2019ve trademarked. They tracked her search history in the private room at the DOJ where Congress people are, you know, legally permitted to look at the less redacted files.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Per Kimmel, Bondi\u2019s printout indicated that the DOJ \u201ctracked those Congress people without their knowledge\u201dand gave the results to Bondi to use during her hearing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThey\u2019re so dumb they printed it out and put a title on the top, \u2018Jayapal, Pramila search history,&#8217;\u201d Kimmel added. \u201cIt\u2019s such a delicate balance between stupid and evil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This comment sparked a round of applause from the studio audience for Kimmel, who continued: \u201cAnd the idea that the Department of Justice in the executive branch is spying on Congress people in the legislative branch is deeply disturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Watch Kimmel\u2019s full monologue above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/tv-shows\/jimmy-kimmel-reacts-pam-bondi-hearing-doj-search-printout\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jimmy Kimmel Rips Pam Bondi Over DOJ Search Printout: \u2018Delicate Balance Between Stupid and Evil\u2019 | Video;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Jimmy Kimmel Rips Pam Bondi Over DOJ Search Printout: \u2018Delicate Balance Between Stupid and Evil\u2019 | Video<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TheWrap;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Kimmel laid into Pam Bondi after it was revealed the attorney general seemingly had a printout of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":472467,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,28460,75,192104,4592,79605,192103,138006,348],"class_list":{"0":"post-472466","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-doj","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-house-judiciary-committee","13":"tag-jimmy-kimmel","14":"tag-pam-bondi","15":"tag-pramila-jayapal","16":"tag-search-history","17":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=472466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/472467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=472466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=472466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=472466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
