Bondi Says She's The Bar Now

In a proposed rule change flagged by Bloomberg Law, she floats a plan to take over state bar complaints against DOJ attorneys and "request that the bar disciplinary authority suspend any parallel investigations until the completion of the Department's review." Bondi adds that, "should the relevant bar disciplinary authorities refuse the Attorney General's request, the Department shall take appropriate action to prevent the bar disciplinary authorities from interfering with the Attorney General's review of the allegations."

So, the lead fox is saying they'll investigate the fox's conduct in the henhouse?

MAGA will slurp it right up even though it's the exact kind of government they've always claimed the feds were when they weren't and that was why they didn't like the government.

Misprint: 'at the Bar now' is what she said.

Bondi the Harridan? Not to be rudely or unnecessarily judgemental, but my considerable time on this planet has taught me at least to recognize a dud in the sack when I see one.

Oh I'm sure the STATE Bars are just going to jump and down to hand over authority of state licensing to the DOJ.

If these lawyers want their state licenses, needed after their DOJ position ends, they must deal with their state bar.

There is nothing feds in general, and bondi in particular, can do to change that.

JeffJ, champion of Federalism, believer in Small Government, always misses these threads.

Get a load of this guy!

Acting like the concepts of federalism and precedent have any weight in a government completely controlled by the GOP, with a MAGAt SCOTUS being the final arbiter on the limits of the Supremacy Clause and Trump's executive power.

Arrogance is one thing but Bondi is doing what she can, under Trump's direction I am sure, to destroy the rule of law here in the US as the US has destroyed it internationally. Used to was one could not invade another country and murder its citizens without fear of being hauled to The Hague, now, no one even bothers trying to stop the murders.

Pam Bondi's in trouble with Republicans on Capitol Hill
www.politico.com

... Attorney General Pam Bondi was already in trouble with congressional Republicans. Now she could be facing an even more existential threat to her political future after President Donald Trump ousted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, showing his willingness to ax Cabinet members who lose trust within the GOP.

Bondi is under intense scrutiny for her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. As many as 20 Republicans might be prepared to back an effort to render punishment against the nation's top prosecutor for slowwalking the materials' release, according to the Democrat helping lead the charge. And five Republicans joined with Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday to subpoena her testimony. ...

I wish I had any faith, whatsoever, in the Democratic Party successfully prosecuting these (expletives deleted), but 50 years of experience would suggest otherwise. The Neville Chamberlain wing of the party's still hanging on.

P.S.

If Bondi's the bar, I want my drink order in a factory sealed container.

Bondi is a bad person. Grasping, clawing, personal ambition obsessed. She would do literally anything Trump instructed her to do. Lie. Justify the murder of Americans. Refuse to investigate/prosecute anyone she perceives as useful to her career. I have to make a conscious effort not to use any misogynistic phrases to describe her. Her gender has nothing to do with her degree of repulsiveness.
