“It was depressing to watch that, actually, the entire hearing,” said MS NOW contributor Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation with Mika Brzezinski, Jonathan Lemire and Joe Scarborough and as they weigh in on “the lack of empathy” from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who faces intense criticism for her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation files at a high-tension House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing where she also refused to personally acknowledge survivors in attendance. "It was also another building block in people's lack of confidence—the feeling that they have lack of confidence that the government operates for us, for ordinary people. Watching it and because of my age, my experiences, I started thinking about the Army-McCarthy hearings and Joseph Welch ‘have you no sense of decency, sir?,’ the Fulbright hearings on Vietnam, the Watergate hearings that resulted in Richard Nixon leaving the presidency, resigning from the presidency. All of these things, I think people felt, ‘well, they're doing something for us. They’re explaining things for us, for the people.’.…This hearing, yesterday, I think the only thing it did was cement the average person's accurate feeling that justice is a two-tiered system now in the United States of America. It protects the wealthy, protects the powerful like Epstein and his friends, Epstein and company. And the average person does not get the same treatment in the justice system in America now,” says Barnicle about the American judicial system.
