Attorney General Pam Bondi has been fired, a senior administration official and a source familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Donald Trump had grown “more and more frustrated” with Bondi in recent days, a person familiar with White House deliberations said, adding that while he likes her as a person, he doesn’t think she has “executed on his vision” in the way that he wants.
According to a source familiar with the decision, Todd Blanche will be the acting attorney general, effective immediately.
You think that Trump’s new pick for the attorney general is going to prosecute the old attorney general?
Trump might not have much loyalty, but he’s not going to go after his own people like that. He knows if he does that, there’s a risk they’ll fully turn on him and spill all the secrets they know. If he just removes them from the spotlight and gives them a cushy job with no public exposure and no responsibility they’ll probably keep their mouths shut either out of loyalty or fear of what he might do to them otherwise.
Also, if there were a trial of Bondi, it wouldn’t be some satisfying thing where she actually takes responsibility for all the shit she did on behalf of Trump. There wouldn’t be any juicy revelations or exposure of her wrongdoing (or her coverups of his wrongdoing). Instead it would just be a show trial where the facts were whatever his team decided to make up.
Just look at what happens in other dictatorships when someone loses favour with the dictator. The result isn’t a fair trial where there’s an impartial hearing of the facts where the defence gets to use the discovery process to unearth and expose the previously secret communications. No, what happens is that the prosecutor rails against the defendant for all their failings, the defendant’s attorney offers only token resistance, and the judges go with the only outcome the dictator will accept. Normally it can be done in an afternoon.
I dunno, she is a liability now to the Epstein Class
Which is why they’ll ‘accident’ her before prosecuting her no doubt. She can’t be feeling very secure right now.
