What gives you the impression that Bondi is fractionally competent
She actually has experience, if not discernible skill, at heading a government legal agency: she was Florida AG 2011 - 2019. Before that she was a prosecutor with actual litigation experience who appears to have come up the ranks. She was also able to use her position to enrich herself and protect Trump, which may seem easy on the face of it, in Florida especially, but there are still various obstacles like competent judges, opposing attorneys, and state laws to navigate, which she did. She also argued against the appointments of both Habba and Halligan, which suggests she understood what a train wreck that was going to be, but was overruled by Trump.
and what gives you confidence that her replacement will be less competent?
That is a LOW fucking bar, lol. It’s like asking if a cockroach can excel at limbo. So regardless of who is ultimately chosen, “Yes.”
Are you suggesting otherwise? I don’t share your faith that Bondi was too incompetent to be easily bested in incompetence by any replacement chosen. As I said above,
When all a “leader” values is loyalty and everything else is a distant third – like prosecutorial expertise in a HIGHLY technical field such as criminal law – they should expect their opposition to rejoice when they’ve fired someone even fractionally competent, because it’s a complete own-goal that will pay off royally for anyone in opposition to the administration.
I said that because almost all of Trump’s legal picks share a specific characteristic, and it’s not smarts. And there’s another thing to consider: this appointment may be different because he picks men when he “wants something done” and women when he wants a meat shield, but specifically when it comes to picking disposable attorneys, Trump evaluates legal talent with his eyes.
