Has Pam Bondi entered the conversation for most corrupt AG in just 6 months?

[struth]

"The trial triggered public outrage as evidence showed the Virginia Republican and his wife accepted over $175,000-worth of loans and gifts, such as vacations, designer clothes and a Rolex watch, from a businessman seeking the state’s help in promoting a tobacco-based dietary supplement."

Overturned on a technicality

The technicality being it was no crime

Taking the first place slot from the likes of John Mitchell, Ed Meese, Mitchell Palmer, and Bill Barr is no easy task. But Pam has sprinted out of the gate. She has presided over the DoJ's weaponization, turned a blind eye to the regime's refusal to comply with court orders, put an end to the anti-corruption task force, given contradictory statements about the Epstein file, tacitly approved violations of constitutional rights possessed by illegally deported immigrants, and now this.

Pam Bondi orders grand jury probe of Obama administration review of 2016 election​

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/05/pam-bondi-orders-grand-jury-probe-of-obama-administration-review-of-2016-election.html

Especially since Watergate, it has been vital that the DoJ maintain its independence from the executive branch of government. trump has violated that independence.

For those who believe in a unitary executive, DOJ/FBI independence is a constitutional solecism. On this view, Article II vests the “executive power” in the President alone, and he alone wields it. That means that the President can do what he likes with his Executive branch subordinates—hire them, fire them, ignore them, order them to act in certain ways, and the like. The presidential authority to direct and control an administration is especially clear with respect to law enforcement and national security, the story goes, since the President himself has a constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” and is the “Commander in Chief.”

This is a nice theory. Sometimes (though not often) I wish that it were so. But the theory has been repudiated in law, and especially in practice, for a long time. There are far too many examples to cover, but here are a few relevant ones. The President can generally fire his political appointees at will, though the Supreme Court has long upheld certain statutory limitations on the President’s removal power (including in the context of the Clinton-era independent counsel statute). The FBI Director’s ten-year term—through which Congress signaled that the Director has independence from electoral politics—raises the political stakes for a President who fires an FBI Director mid-term, as President Trump learned last year. And career civil servants below these senior political appointees (like just-retired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe) have extensive legal protections against presidential firing.

Those are the main “legal” guarantees of DOJ/FBI independence. They are very few, and they are not the most important. The most important guarantees of DOJ/FBI come not from the Constitution or statutes, but from norms and practices that since Watergate have emerged within the Executive branch.

Independence and Accountability at the Department of Justice

Over the weekend some conservative commentators pushed back on my tweet-claim that President Trump has “threaten[ed] DOJ/FBI over and over in gross violation of independence

Pam has become the enabler of a would be autocrat, which is just what she was chosen for. By both acquiescence and proactive measures she has shown herself to be as incompetent as she is co-opted. She's making Bill Barr's hideous "exonerated" lie look like child's play. And her term has only just begun.

Nobody will ever top Garland for that title.

Really berg80 ... are you wanting to stick with your statement...

"Especially since Watergate, it has been vital that the DoJ maintain its independence from the executive branch of government. trump has violated that independence."

When a president has knowledge and is directly involved with the DOJ is a failed coup to overthrow a duly elected president, where was the independence from the executive branch of government then?

NO, HELL NO. Good leaders, real leaders, they welcome confrontation from their charges. Challenge me, give me diverse opinions. Kiss my ass simply because I am your leader, tell me what you think I want to hear, your days are numbered. I don't need you.

"Pam Bondi orders grand jury probe of Obama administration review of 2016 election"

It is so strange this stuff is coming up now.... This "Obama administration review of 2016 election" was all uncovered back in 2020 and no one touched it when it happened... It was when a corrupt DOJ that was trying to overthrow a duly elected Trump never touched it because they themselves were directly involved...

Trump is not a leader. If anything, he is a bully. And we are all paying the price for that. I mean his staff, the cabinet, what a ******* joke. Hegseth, damn, he isn't capable of leading a damn cub scout pack. Bondi, what a ******* damn joke. Kennedy, get the hell out of here. A total ******* nutjob. Noem, oh yeah, I am really feeling secure. I mean it is a damn clown show, it is like a trainwreck that you just can't keep from looking at.

I mean who is going to stand up. Trump needs an ass-whoopin more than anyone I have ever known. I mean a serious ass whooping, like an inch of your life kind of thing. The man is severely mentally ill, like lock him up in a padded room kind of mentally ill. Someone, anyone, needs to call that out.

He is destroying this nation. MAGA is just bullshit. Drive America into the ground is more appropriate. Trump will kill this nation, damn I can't help but think of Thomas Paine.

“When we contemplate the fall of empires & the extinction of the nations of the ancient world, we see but little more to excite our regret than the mouldering ruins of pompous palaces, magnificent monuments, lofty pyramids, and walls and towers of the most costly workmanship: But when the empire of America shall fall, the subject for contemplative sorrow will be infinitely greater than crumbling brass or marble can inspire. It will not then be said, here stood a temple of vast antiquity, here rose a babel of invisible height, or there a palace of sumptuous extravagance; but here, ah painful thought! the noblest work of human wisdom, the grandest scene of human glory, the fair cause of freedom rose and fell.

I am not a cooler. I am a change agent. That clip, that is how I roll. I haven't applied for a job in forty years. Like Dalton, they come to me. The money only gets bigger. I am in, I am out. But in the process, across multiple industries, I deliver results.

I can't help but think about business school. Professor is like, you have a leader, he delivers results, he turns things around. Do you reward him with a cushy position? It was funny, most of the class were like, yeah, he earned it. Oh, I was adamant. NO, I said. The professor seemed puzzled. He is who he is. He doesn't want the cushy job. He wants the challenge. He is who he is. You move him to another place, another challenge, otherwise, you might as well cut his balls off. The class fell out laughing. But I made my point.

The thing is, I am a leader. I have a degree, in leadership, Summa Cum Lauda, look it up. But the most important part, I ran dogs. Beagles, rabbit dogs, national champions. Hell, who hunts rabbits anymore. Bird dogs, English setters, yeah, I have ran them. The thing is, if you can't run a pack of dogs you got no business running people. Trump, he is scared of dogs. That, in and of itself, should tell you everything.

GDP is up, do tell. Anemic at best. Actually down first quarter. This quarter up, but an anomaly. It is all about the tariffs. Front loaded first quarter, companies getting ahead of the tariffs. GDP growth was actually negative. Second quarter, drop in imports the only driver. Consumer spending, health care was the biggest driver, but imports declined. The consumer spending, non durable goods, consumers just reacting to those anticipated tariffs.

Some Republican voters complain on Pam Bondi only because of watching progressive AG's do and what Jeff Sessions did not do. She deserves some time.
