Democrats MUST prosecute these felons when they take back the Congress this Fall.

I'd see the words "Sarah Palin" followed by "wisely," but here we are. Like Dan Quayle advising Pence that he didn't have the power to refuse certifying the 2020 election results. And George W., even though he's still a war criminal, sounds like a Rhodes scholar when speaking compared to Dementia DonOld.

The president ousted the attorney general, not because she corrupted the Justice Department, but because she didn’t corrupt it enough.

The problem isn’t with Trump’s decision to oust Bondi — she was a cartoonish failure and a national embarrassment — but rather with his motivation.

He fired his AG, not because she corrupted the Justice Department, but because she didn’t corrupt it enough.

Soon after, the beleaguered attorney general appeared before the House Judiciary Committee and put on a truly ridiculous display, in what was widely seen as one of the ugliest congressional hearings in modern American history. Trump, however, approved of her cringeworthy antics, which appeared to buy her a little time at Main Justice.

The reprieve was short-lived. MS NOW reported:

President Donald Trump on Thursday announced he has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, removing her as the nation’s top prosecutor. … Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as acting attorney general, the president wrote.

Trump had informed Bondi in recent days that she would soon be removed from her position, a White House official and another person familiar with the situation told MS NOW. The official said Trump still personally likes Bondi and notified her before the official removal to ‘help her along.’


The president confirmed the news by way of his social media platform, writing that the Florida Republican “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.”.....

As MS NOW’s Ken Dilanian reported, “Pam Bondi was fired largely because Donald Trump grew dissatisfied with her inability to deliver on prosecuting his perceived enemies.”

This is the entire story in one sentence: The president ousted Bondi, not because she corrupted the Justice Department, but because she didn’t corrupt it enough.

Indeed, someone probably ought to tell the president that her successor will struggle just as much as she did to meet his expectations, because Trump wants what an attorney general can’t deliver: evidence-free indictments against his perceived political enemies.
