From just announcing a new "investigation" of Trump tomorrow, and the then the next day Trump sues for "damages", and the then the next day after that Bondi agrees to "settle" by paying Trump a trillion dollars?

Apparently nothing. Because that would have just as much validity as this dumb settlement.
