In the first days after Pam Bondi was appointed attorney general last year, the Department of Justice began shutting down pending criminal cases at a record pace.
The cases included an investigation into a Virginia nursing home with a recent record of patient abuse; probes of fraud involving several New Jersey labor unions, including one opened after a top official of a national union was accused of embezzlement; and an investigation into a cryptocurrency company suspected of cheating investors.
In total, the DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of President Donald Trump’s administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases, according to an analysis by ProPublica….
The DOJ has also closed hundreds of cases involving alleged crimes that the administration has publicly emphasized as enforcement priorities. Even as the Trump administration unleashed Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency operatives to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, the DOJ declined over 900 cases of federal program or procurement fraud. About three times as many cases of major fraud against the U.S. were declined under Trump compared with the average of similar time periods under prior administrations. And while the Trump administration has promised to “make America safe again,” its DOJ has declined more than 1,000 terrorism cases, also more than prior administrations.

All Administrations drop cases, but the rate ofTrump’s dismissals and the types of cases being dismissed are off the charts.
The Trump regime drops cases against terrorists, white collar criminals, drug dealers, for what…chasing some poor sap illegal.
So, Trump and Bondi have decided that the Mexican fry cook at your local diner is a more important target than a terrorist planning to blow you up.
There is no better time to be a crook than now. Trump has your back.
But not for the thief that steals a Twinkie at the local convenience store, rather those then steal hundreds of millions or billions.
Donate and maybe get a pardon and a well done from the Trump regime.
