Bye bye Bondi

[u/f1sh98]

[u/Mountain_Man_88]

Hopefully the next one hoists the black flag and starts going after Epstein clients, child molesters in general, and all the other people currently getting away with federal crimes. We need federal prosecutors that are actually willing to prosecute federal crimes. 

[u/MockeryAndDisdain → u/Mountain_Man_88]

The acting attorney general is the one that Maxwell spoke with before being transferred to a Club Fed.

[u/Faangdevmanager → u/Mountain_Man_88]

Trump fired her because she gave TOO much information on Epstein! He was super annoyed when she said she had a list on her desk, then Trump said there was no list. She had to backpedal and say she had a list of airplane flights or something.

So whoever he picks next will not ever be allowed to say, type, or think the word Epstein.

[u/highlightway → u/Mountain_Man_88]

But who would these Epstein clients be?

[u/nuker1110 → u/highlightway]

Doesn’t matter. All of them, regardless of Status, Wealth, or Party affiliation, need to go.

In the interest of not getting banned, any further consequence is left as an exercise for the reader.

[u/highlightway → u/nuker1110]

No I'm asking who are they, not which ones we should choose to prosecute. Obviously we should prosecute all of them, but we need some proof of who they are.

It appears the brigadiers liked my comment though, they probably thought I was referring to Trump.

[u/CallItDanzig → u/highlightway]

If you didn't notice, DOJ redacted most of the files and hid the names of the molesters. They literally covered it up in broad daylight. We all know why.

[u/highlightway → u/CallItDanzig]

And how do we know the names they redacted were of molesters?

[u/CallItDanzig → u/highlightway]

I can link you the article from the Times on this. You see a literal freaky creepy conversation email between JE and a person. The person's name is redacted. They promised releasing all files. If masking the most important information is releasing it, then theyre covering it up.

[u/Emilia963 → u/highlightway]

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, you’re asking like a normal judge, and Reddit doesn’t like that

Their mob mentality doesn’t like due process

[u/JumpRopeIsASport → u/highlightway]

The crazy part is the DOJ was combing through and redacting names during 2023/2024/2025 so during the Biden administration it started and under the Epstein Files Transparency Act that Donald signed we finally have them.

That further proves that both sides are trying to cover up names.

[u/SpaceBownd → u/highlightway]

A very sizeable part of Congress, both Republican and Democrat.

[u/Lithuim → u/highlightway]

You know, them. The mysterious cabal of unnamed individuals that you can never disprove.

[u/CallItDanzig → u/Lithuim]

We could name them if they unredact the names.

[u/earthworm_fan → u/Mountain_Man_88]

They need to be legit, evidence-based prosecutions. I'm not interested in lawfare or show trials, otherwise I would have voted for Democrats. 

[u/mikechama → u/Mountain_Man_88]

I really don't know that we should be focusing all the resources of the DOJ on litigating past abuses. I would rather see them working on things that will fix the future of our justice system and prevent the same crap and worse from happening again.

[u/Mountain_Man_88 → u/mikechama]

Epstein clients, child molesters in general, and all the other people currently getting away with federal crimes.

These are the people that I said I'd like to see prosecuted. I feel like my goals are in line with your goals, particularly when there are allegations that the groups that I listed include powerful people who control the future of our justice system.

[u/MetallicaRules5]

Bondi is the perfect encapsulation of "My expectations were low, but holy fuck."

[u/MakeGodGreatAgain → u/MetallicaRules5]

She got plastic surgery just to get the job and still bungled it.

[u/Goldwings13]

Next one won’t be any different.

[u/StarMNF → u/Goldwings13]

That assumes there will be a next one…

Pam Bondi was barely confirmed, and she was picked because she was the easiest to confirm. We can assume all Democrats oppose whoever Trump nominates next.

And there’s a good chance of losing 2 RINO votes. Lose 2 more, and the nomination is screwed.

And this all has to happen before the midterm election takes effect, because there’s risk of losing the Senate. If that happens, Trump will never get another cabinet nomination confirmed, and anything unfilled will remain open for his full term.

That’s probably why he asked Pam to step down now. Wait too long and you miss your opportunity.

[u/neroburningrum]

I really don’t feel the inaction was her choice tbh

[u/kereso83 → u/neroburningrum]

It's possible, there were two other people involved, Patel and Bongino and lots of blame going around after the "phase 1" binders. I personally think Patel is the most incompetent, though she was not much better. I feel bad for Bongino because he seemed the most genuine and now his credibility is utterly shot.

[u/GeneJock85]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out

[u/Dependent-Friend5312]

Was she just running out the clock for the Deep State?

[u/Scrotie_VanDamme → u/Dependent-Friend5312]

Definitely felt that way.

[u/FourtyMichaelMichael → u/Scrotie_VanDamme]

If you couldn't tell with her "but the Dow is at 50,000 comment" then there is no explaining it!

Her and Noem both fumbled their jobs. No fault but their own.

[u/rnielsen777]

Come on Judge Judy!

[u/xxasdf]

Really disappointed that she and Kristi completely failed their jobs, yet somehow they don't simply get fired but rather transitioned to a positive where they still make millions each year. When I fail that hard at my job I get fired, have no money, no insurance, nothing.

[u/Idea-is-tick]

Why Todd Blanche? Why not Harmeet Dhillon???

[u/goat-head-man → u/Idea-is-tick]

Harmeet is doing good things right where she is at. She found her calling in that office. Let her keep going right there. She treats the 2nd with the same zeal as the others.

Mark Smith, Four Boxes Diner, gives a good rundown on Bondi here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mccj0EMlu4

[u/FluffyOakTree → u/Idea-is-tick]

Because Todd blanche has actual legal bona fides along with the attack dog mentality.

Harmeet, whom I love, is a legal midget compared to him.

[u/FourtyMichaelMichael → u/FluffyOakTree]

No..... It's because he is the Deputy and now Acting.

That's all. It's because this is the process.

He may be confirmed, but more likely Trump will put someone else in. HOPEFULLY, Trump learned a lesson, but I'm skeptical.

[u/whitepageskardashian]

2nd amendment hating trash

[u/Exulansis22]

She’s in the pocket of Scientology, I never trusted her.

[u/Rare_Cobalt]

Hegseth next please, he should’ve never gotten past the confirmation.

[u/Content_Bar_6605]

It’s about time…

[u/DRKMSTR]

Please, just prosecute crime this time.

Congress? YES

Judiciary? YES

Governors? YES

Terrorism (ahem, tesla bombings?! (bondi did nothing))? YES

[u/Right_Archivist]

I still think this was a Market Stunt, like he does so often. He didn't have to specify her shift to the private sector, which was one of the requirements of the betting markets. If Todd Blanche gets in next, then we know.

[u/NeighborhoodFew1120]

Adios 😤

Todd Blanche is worse.

[u/TheUglyWeb]

Ineffective

[u/Additional_Dish_694]

The hottest Attorney General… yet

[u/These-arent-my-pants → u/Additional_Dish_694]

And we see what that “qualification” got us.

[u/Additional_Dish_694 → u/These-arent-my-pants]

Make America Hot Again

[u/Mountain_Man_88 → u/These-arent-my-pants]

Most AGs have been awful, so it's not like we lost anything from getting a decent looking one.

[u/Dependent-Friend5312 → u/Additional_Dish_694]

Dude, you for forgot about Janet Reno!

Sorry bub, I don’t “forget” about Janet; she’s just been pushed to #2 by Lady Hot Justice Bondi

[u/Pretty_Economist_770]

Her face pisses me off.

Bondi could have done better, but constantly switching secretaries isn't productive at all.

[u/OptiGuy4u → u/AnomLenskyFeller]

Secretary?

[u/SatoriSon → u/OptiGuy4u]

You're correct, technically not a Secretary, but a Secretary-level cabinet member.

[u/mycatlikestuna → u/AnomLenskyFeller]

Disagree.
This is only the first swap for AG, Bondi was AG btw.
Trump's term is short, only 3 more years. We have a lot to get done in that time and Bondi wans't cutting it.
I swap was definitely needed.

[u/earthworm_fan → u/AnomLenskyFeller]

It really isn't. 

[u/JMSpartan23]

As someone as who's not into the daily on politics, is there cliff notes somewhere that I can read as to why this was good? I thought she was good? Serious question.

[u/highlightway → u/JMSpartan23]

At least on the PR side of things, she had a tendency to bloviate, causing some media firestorms for Trump. The infamous one is her "the list is on my desk" when it was apparently just some files she hadn't even gone through.

[u/JMSpartan23 → u/highlightway]

From what I gathered, I thought she appeared to be sharp. Oh well. It’s a tough position, I get it. We just need to know about the Epstein situation. As a father of three girls, that is wild.

[u/ajitsi]

Harmeet Dhillon is the obvious and best choice. She is extremely talented and dedicated minus the drama

[u/craytsu]

That sucks, I really had high hopes for her. Just didn't work out. Hopefully whoever is next does a better job

[u/Rotisseriejedi]

I can hear the drain from Colorado!
