Bondi testimony proves she’s out of her depth as AG Re: “Epstein files: Bondi clashes with Democrats,” Feb. 12 news story Attorney General Pam Bondi does middle-school mean girl really well. The insults she hurls at members of Congress — the people’s representatives — are choice and juve nile. The deranged demeanor accompanying her rude responses under oath deserves an Oscar nomination in the cringe and horror categories. Sadly, none of these theater performances is in her job description. We, the people of the United States, who have hired her (bad decision, Republican Senate!) and are paying her salary and benefits, and to whom she has sworn an oath to serve, require a grown professional who understands their job to be the attorney for the people and not the bodyguard of the Fuhrer. The people require an AG who performs the duties of the office, like, for example, prosecuting pedophiles, and to do so in a dignified manner that honors, not insults, the people they serve. Bondi is not doing any of that. This leaves but one solution. Congress is to impeach, convict, and remove her from office. Floy Jeffares, Lakewood Crow’s accusers are the ‘ones following illegal orders’ Re: “Crow says ‘there will be costs’ after failed indictment attempt,” Feb. 12 news story You go, Jason Crow. The malicious failed prosecution of those in Congress who urged military members not to follow illegal orders demands a response to hold Trump administration officials accountable. The irony is that the prosecutors in the Justice Department should have been paying attention because they were the ones following illegal orders when they clownishly filed a criminal case when no crime had been committed. They had to use the grand jury route because, in a regular federal court proceeding, the case would have been immediately dismissed out of hand. What is the over-under bet for how many Trump pardons ultimately will be issued to these spineless creatures? A lot of people will have to be pardoned, but many who need a pardon won’t get one. Yes, keep track of who is being naughty or nice. Barry Noreen, Denver Follow officers’ orders and stay alive Ever wonder what the paper would be like if Donald Trump weren’t president? On most days, the front section is dominated by articles critical of the president, his programs or his party. It has been said that it’s foolish to take on folks who buy ink by the barrel. That is not my intention here. I believe it’s past time we all just took a big breath, group hug, and think about all the freedoms and good things we have here in these United States. As a Marine Veteran who has seen more of this world, I can say from experience that what we have here ain’t so bad. I’m sorry people had to lose their lives in the riots in Minnesota; however, I will say what no reporter or editor will say. They would be alive had they only obeyed the officers’ orders. Ralph McClure, Greeley Rittenhouse defenders condemn Pretti In 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse crossed state borders to attend a protest in Wisconsin. Even though he was only 17, he brought an AR-15-style rifle. Rittenhouse fatally shot two men and non-fatally injured another. He was lauded and called a patriot by some.

Jason Crow says ‘there will be costs’ to Trump officials after failed indictment attempt A homeless victim, bank transfers and Aspen ski trips: What the Epstein files say about Colorado Alex Pretti attended a protest in his hometown of Minneapolis carrying a holstered gun, which he had a permit to carry. He was called an “assassin” and “terrorist” by many of the same people who endorsed Rittenhouse’s actions. Rittenhouse was acquitted of homicide charges and is alive and well. Pretti was killed.
