Criminal lawyer Robert McWhirter warns Pam Bondi could face disbarment after Trump removed her as attorney general over cases she brought against political opponents
“Warns.” Ha! haha.
Should be…Shall be…won’t…
Why so sure? Giuliani was. Chesboro was. Jenna Ellis had her license suspended.
Doesn’t matter to her. She’ll land a lucrative gig on one of the right wing propaganda networks, not go back to practicing law.
Now if she faces criminal and civil penalties beyond that disbarment, that’s a different story. Especially at the state level.
She’s 60 and rich; why would she even want to go back to work? But then I don’t understand why anyone with financial freedom would choose to give up even more of their life for money they don’t need.
She’s 60?! She must be the first Republican who actually looks good for her age.
Which is very weird as hate ages people.
Born 1965. Yeah I guess good skin care and avoids sun with no bimbofication. You can see the age in closer photos. At a distance you’d think younger.
One of the things I’ll never understand is the desire for rich people to keep working. To keep accumulating more wealth.
If I had a few million £ in the bank I’d retire faster than you can say 1 percent.
Rich people hoard money without any regards for morals or ethics, and they certainly don’t stop to ponder the purpose of their wealth. That’s just their drug.
You’re not addicted. That’s why you’re not rich.
It’s also why a lot of people who win the lottery end up broke within a year: they don’t have the mental illness of greed necessary to stay rich.
I’m with you until you get to the lottery part. Your description implies that those lottery winners who don’t go bankrupt are somehow worse than the ones who do go bankrupt, which doesn’t make any sense.
They lose their money because they can’t control their spending, not because they lack the mental illness of money addiction.
What a strange perspective you’ve given. It makes me suspect that you have a personal motive for thinking that way.
They mostly lose their money because everyone that finds out that they are suddenly rich, starts sueing to get what “they are owed,” or someone just kills them. The ones that can’t control their spending might never go broke, provided they got the lump sum invested by a fiduciary quickly enough.
Dragons
Just for the record.
Karma is a bitch…
But boy! it feels good for the rest of us.
It has to happen first.
I’m so fucking sick of these “Asshole can have consequences…” articles and nothing happens.
Sorry, that’s the best feel-good I could find for today. One makes do with what one finds when the sumbitches are above the law that applies to the rest of us.
Not your fault at all! Keep sharing everything you can.
I’m just sick of this “system”.
Yes, exactly. Unfortunately, I think it’s highly unlikely that the same corrupt legal system - which this woman has quite clearly demonstrated protects the most serious criminals instead of prosecuting them - will suddenly start delivering justice. I don’t think anything will change unless the citizens themselves force through the massive reforms that are necessary.
At present, it is almost a mockery to call the US a constitutional state, because the legal system is so obviously corrupt that it simply no longer fulfills its purpose, as the regime illustrates very impressively on a daily basis.
She better run to Israel or Russia or a non-extradition country.
She is licensed in Florida. The probability the Florida bar will kick her out is about as high as that Trump was completely exonerated by the Epstein files.
The Florida Bar won’t even conduct an investigation into her conduct while holding federal office. That’s an actual rule. So to get Pam disbarred will take a felony conviction. But there are many states to do that. And the DOJ, after Trump. These people will face justice.
You really think so? Not being sarcastic, just don’t want my hopes and dreams to be quashed again, like in 2009 and 2021.
She broke numerous state and federal laws during her tenure as AG. She does not have immunity. Trump cannot pardon state convictions. She should face a criminal investigation and prosecution.
Beyond that, I honestly don’t know what will happen. The judicial system has been the most resistant to Trump’s authoritarianism of all three branches. Even with a corrupt SCOTUS.
Even SCOTUS once in a while resists. Unlike Congress.
But thanks for giving me hope!
I think they will. Trump cut her loose: she’s a MAGA pariah now. This is the one chance the bar review committee has to pretend they still have integrity without pissing off the orange utan and his cult followers.
The dismissal tweet sounded cheerful enough though. She wasn’t given the Very Prestigious Command of the Supreme Council of the Board of Peace, for sure, but she was wished well and told she did a good job and she was the Best Boy, that’s gotta count for something!
That’s probably because of all the kompromat she knows. Trump doesn’t want to piss her off too much if he can help it. It’s why he offered her a judgeship.
Oof… Judge Cannon is going to be so pissed if Trump promotes Bondi to the Supreme Court over her!
she was wished well and told she did a good job
She was wished well in a mafia don’s kiss kind of way.
It’s just the particular style of the Trump mafia family.
Do people really think that was a punishment for her? It was probably her idea to avoid a hearing…
Bondi went in knowing what she did and knowing that it was wrong and knowing that her defence cannot be that her boss really wanted her to do it.
WTF wasn’t she disbarred while in office?
Florida Bar has a binding rule that says they won’t hold disciplinary hearings for any person confirmed by the US senate.
“Could”
But won’t.
