Trump Needs A ‘Vicious Operator’ To Bring Justice Back To The Justice Department:
Government investigator Mike Howell says Pam Bondi, out as attorney general, wasn’t the right fit to take on the weaponizers.
Pam Bondi was President Donald Trump’s second choice for attorney general, and she never quite fit. Bondi often looked uncomfortable in the top prosecutor role, fumbling her way through and failing to meet the demands of a Department of Justice with a mandate to bring the criminals in the corrupt Biden administration to account.
The frustration from the MAGA movement has been mounting for many months. The president’s patience had worn threadbare with an attorney general who — for many reasons — never did deliver on one of Trump’s biggest campaign promises: justice for the people caught in the crosshairs of the left’s political lawfare campaign.
So the president gave Bondi the “Great American” sendoff on his Truth Social platform Thursday and sent his second choice AG packing.
“Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,” Trump wrote Thursday, saluting Bondi for the DOJ’s work in bringing the nation’s murder rate to the lowest level in 125 years.
Maybe Bondi was stuck in an untenable position for what the job entailed, but her biggest problem, one government watchdog says, was her inability to run a tenacious prosecution operation that would send a clear message to the leftist lawfare crowd. Of course, she did herself no favors with the Epstein Files mess.
“I’m not saying Bondi didn’t want to do that, but it certainly didn’t happen,” Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, told The Federalist Thursday afternoon in an interview on the Vicki McKenna Show. The conservative organization investigates and litigates to expose and root out corruption in government,
“Look, she got subbed in after Matt Gaetz went down and I think there was an understanding that she really wasn’t that type of lawyer or operator but she would have a cast surrounding her [so she could] be a spokesperson for the agency,” Howell said. “But over time it just became clear that there weren’t enough people who were actually committed to doing the mission and that was borne out by the lack of results.”
Gaetz, a former Republican congressman, withdrew from consideration amid a buzzsaw confirmation process. --->READ MORE HERE
‘We Need Heads To Roll’: Chip Roy Urges Trump To Replace Bondi With ‘Aggressive’ AG
Congressman Chip Roy, R-Texas, said the next attorney general needs to be “aggressive” and deliver real results, not just “show” and “statements.”
President Donald Trump fired Pam Bondi on Thursday, confirming in a Truth Social post that Bondi would move to an undisclosed role in the private sector.
“Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900,” Trump said on Truth Social. “We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.”
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as interim attorney general.
Responding to the announcement, Roy said on Fox News that “it’s critical that we have a great leader at the top of the Department of Justice. … The next person who’s heading the Department of Justice has got to be aggressive.”
Roy pointed out that Republicans have a guaranteed trifecta for only a short while longer, and yet there are a lot of dissatisfied Republican voters who feel like they have not seen “justice and accountability” for victims of political persecution, Antifa, the Epstein files, and the pandemic, among other hot topic issues. --->READ MORE HERE
