Pam Bondi’s swift dismissal on Thursday underscores a reality that has met Trump loyalists from Jeff Sessions to Kristi Noem – no amount of loyalty is enough to save oneself from being dumped by Donald Trump.
Since the president assumed office last year, there have been few people more important to his effort to remake government than Bondi, his longtime friend.
Trump pledged that retribution would be the hallmark of his second term, and Bondi was the chief enforcer from her first day in office. As attorney general, she obliterated the longstanding norm that the justice department be apolitical and keep the White House at arm’s length. She oversaw purges of career employees who had been assigned to work on the criminal cases against Trump as well as scores of career lawyers with irreplaceable expertise. She also oversaw politically motivated prosecutions against Trump’s political enemies, including the former FBI director James Comey and New York attorney general, Letitia James.
Not sure that’s even particularly the case.
I’m looking at it more like a CEO that’s hired specifically to come in and do the shit the board wants but users don’t want, take the blame, and leave with a paycheck while the same board continues on like normal.
Just with less planning for the timing of events, because Trump’s team is obviously shit at that.
Perhaps.
A few differences though…
Her role involved criminal acts. Probably treason. Her only hope is that the kompromat she collected will motivate the administration to protect her.
Also, odd time to fire her? Plenty more sin for her to eat.
As dumb as they are they probably think this will negate her subpoena for later this month.
I’m still waiting for the differences. This is standard company procedure criminal acts, probable treason…
CEOs don’t do crimes and treason.
🤣
Good one
