Summary

Pam Bondi, Trump’s attorney general nominee, hinted at the existence of an “enemies list” during her confirmation hearing.

When questioned by Senators Hirono and Whitehouse, Bondi avoided disavowing the list or denying potential targeting of individuals like Jack Smith, Liz Cheney, and Merrick Garland.

She defended Trump’s FBI pick, Kash Patel, who previously alluded to such a list in his book, Government Gangsters.

Critics fear the Justice Department could be weaponized against political opponents under Bondi and Trump’s leadership.

    Garland decided to wait years to start out of fear of looking “political.”

    Which is the most maddening part of it from a “how stupid do they think we are?” standpoint, as bending over backwards to not “look political” is one of the most political things you can possibly do!

    Especially in cases like this where something infinitely more important than optics failed because of it!

    He should seriously be tried for dereliction of duty in a time of crisis, obstruction of justice, or maybe even, to quote Bluth Senior “some light treason” 🤬
