Merrick Garland went after Christians. Destroyed many of them targeted. He wanted to kill them. Jeff Sessions was not only swamp. He was a charter member.
Has Pam Bondi entered the conversation for most corrupt AG in just 6 months?

Barry Hussein weaponized the IRS against Conservatives, and Tater weaponized the DOJ against his biggest political oppenent, and his voters.
Both are corrupt scum.

According to those who do not like law and order.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
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.

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.

Powell investigation: Drumbeat of Republican opposition grows on Capitol Hill
Republican protests are growing louder on Capitol Hill as the Trump administration’s Department of Justice pursues a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.Powell on Sunday night revealed that the Justice Department opened an investigation into his handling of renovations to the central bank’s headquarters and his testimony about the matter to Congress. Powell said the investigation was an attempt to intimidate him as he lowers interest rates at a slower pace than President Donald Trump desires.
The GOP resistance could derail his eventual pick to succeed Powell when the Fed chief’s term is up in May, as North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, threatens to block any nominee to the central bank until the investigation is resolved. Tillis’ comments are now being echoed by other Republicans.

She will easily go down as the most unethical and compromised AG in history.

No, and i am correct.
One incompetent appointed by another incompetent. What else would you expect from weak-minded individuals. Reason is out the window with both of them.Powell investigation: Drumbeat of Republican opposition grows on Capitol Hill

Finally a republican standing up to the trump corruption and lawlessness.
Blind allegiance to a political party or leader is
not in the best interests of the nation. Accountability must always be present.

Wrong on all counts. Merrick Garland was the worst excuse for an AG that the country has ever had. As usual, you're full of excrement, Bug.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.
