Attorney General Pam Bondi was left “blindsided and annoyed” by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s sudden crusade against former President Barack Obama, according to a new report.

Bondi has been under intense pressure to draw a line under the Jeffrey Epstein furor that erupted almost three weeks ago when the Justice Department abruptly announced that no “client list” belonging to the disgraced financier existed, sparking bitter infighting among President Donald Trump’s MAGA coalition.

The AG was reportedly “given little warning” in advance of Gabbard’s press conference a week ago, at which she accused Obama of ordering a more damning and definitive intelligence assessment to be published regarding Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, allegedly with the intention of undermining Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton.

1. Bondi will be gone soon - At least she survived longer than Scaramucci

Someone has to be the sacrificial lamb for MAGA. Tulsi gave them a sweet treat to try to make up for the horrible main course Bondi dished out.
Bondi knows there are no crimes to charge so this referral is BS.

13. The AG is much harder to get rid of than someone

like the mooch, unfortunately. She will be hard to replace because her position requires confirmation from the Senate. Of course the Senate isn't exactly a profile in courage, so maybe they would confirm someone just as obedient as Bondi. Or maybe someone even worse.

2. There's no honor among thieves

Tulsi knew she was on the outs with Trump already. She saw Bondi’s fall as a lifeline and threw her under the bus to improve her standing with Trump.

3. Good. When they fight each other, the rest of us win. nt

4. That's the way Trump wants it

Sow chaos and keep the servants off balance to maintain grip on power. He read it in some stupid book.

6. Performative rage against each other.

He did it with his kids and staff too.

5. Wow! Who could have ever predicted there would be infighting within the Trump admin?

7. It is a shitshow

And nothing is getting done for the people.

11. Oh, plenty is getting done

Just not much for the people.

8. The mean girls are going to fight!

Let the hair-pulling and the scratching commence!

[dalton99a]

9. +1. Noem and Leavitt should join in

[Aristus]

12. If those two go at it, their faces will end up substantially altered.

Oh.

Too late...

10. even if she was, she praised Gabbard in public for doing it. and she's probably wasting DOJ resources on it

because that's what drumpf wants. Don't really give a shit if she's annoyed by it. Do give a shit that she's pursuing it regardless of her feelings.

I'm sure there were plenty of Nazis that regretted taking part in the holocaust but take part in it you did.

Fuck your feelings
