The Gist
The author argues Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi because she was too soft and failed to aggressively prosecute Biden administration officials for corruption. He needs to replace her with someone ruthless who will actually deliver justice against political enemies.
Conclusion
Trump needs to replace Pam Bondi with a 'vicious operator' as Attorney General who will aggressively prosecute Biden administration corruption and lawfare perpetrators
Premises
- Pam Bondi failed to deliver on Trump's campaign promise of justice for victims of political lawfare
- The DOJ under Bondi has been too deferential to the old guard at FBI and Justice Department
- Thousands of released documents have exposed Democrats and deep state actors as defilers of the rule of law
- Bondi's DOJ failed to act on damning documents and whistleblower testimony
- The Biden administration used illegal autopen signatures for over 4,200 clemency orders including violent criminals
- Real victories under Bondi have been few despite claims of success
- The next AG must be someone who doesn't care about liberal press criticism and will 'roll up their sleeves' to get the job done
Assumptions
- The Biden administration engaged in systematic corruption and weaponization of government
- Political lawfare against Trump and his allies was illegitimate and criminal
- Aggressive prosecution is the appropriate response to perceived government corruption
- The DOJ should prioritize political accountability over institutional norms
- Trump's electoral victory gives him a mandate to pursue these prosecutions
