Pam Bondi still can't explain why she keeps doing Trump's bidding

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Looks like Attorney General Pam Bondi is in the hot seat—again.

On Monday, Bondi was questioned by Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania for allegedly clearing the way for President Donald Trump’s crypto schemes to flourish.

“The president has dabbled in meme coin, he had you—the DOJ—disband the national cryptocurrency enforcement team, his son recently launched the executive branch club, a private club with $500,000 memberships here in D.C.,” Dean began. “Any of this seem like it might be a problem?”

Dodging the question, Bondi viciously tried to tear down Dean’s work in her home state.

Worst AG since John Mitchell.

[Ocelot II]

1. Worse than John Mitchell. Worse than Bill Barr.

Mitchell was very bad; you young'uns who didn't get to experience the Watergate fun 'n' games might want to read up on his sins and wickednesses here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_N._Mitchell. And we all know what Bill Barr got up to until Trump got to be even more than he could stomach. But Bondi is worse than both of them because she's not only a corrupt toady, she revels in being a corrupt toady - and she's galactically stupid on top of it.

Stephen Miller’s Financial Stake in ICE Contractor Palantir Raises Conflict Concerns

https://migrantinsider.com/p/stephen-miller-palantir]

Palantir’s ICE contract and political connections have long been controversial. The company’s tools have enabled ICE agents to identify, detain and deport people, including through recent enhancements that give officers near-real-time data on self-deportations. Meanwhile, Palantir stock has surged more than 80% this year, making it one of the top performers on the S&P 500.

Miller’s disclosure also revealed that the Palantir stock is held in one of his children’s brokerage accounts, but federal ethics rules apply the same legal standards to assets owned by spouses or minor children.

In a statement to POGO, the White House defended Miller’s disclosures and said he will continue to recuse himself from decisions that could directly impact his personal investments. Palantir did not respond to POGO’s request for comment.

The report follows a pattern of Trump appointees and allies with financial interests in Palantir. POGO previously documented that at least 10 other current or former White House and Department of Homeland Security staffers also owned stock in the company. Four Trump appointees at DHS have reported owning Palantir shares, including Paul Ingrassia, White House liaison to DHS, who was recently nominated to lead the U.S. Office of Special Counsel.

Bondi may or may not hold Palantir stock, but it's a good bet she is enjoying a lot of inside information on what to buy or sell due to her position. We know none of the appointees are there to serve the public.

3. Maddow Blog-Why a House Democrat was right to accuse AG Pam Bondi of being 'very unprofessional'

When Bondi acts more like a political operative than an attorney general, she doesn’t just damage her own reputation — she also undermines her office.

The problem isn’t just that AG Pam Bondi too often sounds like a partisan operative.

The problem is also that she too often sounds like a *terrible* operative, who isn't even good at performative partisanship. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

To be sure, there was some discussion along predictable lines — exchanges, for example, over proposed FBI cuts and Bondi’s intention to eliminate the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) — but as NBC News noted, there were also some unexpected fireworks.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s remarks about Rep. Madeleine Dean and former President Joe Biden at a House hearing today prompted Dean, D-Pa., to call Bondi ‘very strange and very unprofessional.’ The exchange included Dean asking Bondi if she had ever been registered as an agent of a foreign principal — referring to when Bondi lobbied for the government of Qatar — to which the attorney general referenced a 2024 interview in which Dean said Biden should remain the Democratic candidate in the 2024 election

.

The underlying issue is of some significance. Bondi used to work as a registered lobbyist for foreign clients, including the government of Qatar — the same government that recently gave Donald Trump a jet. The Republican lawyer — the first attorney general in U.S. history ever to have served as a foreign lobbyist — was directly involved in the arrangement, signing off on the legality of the Qatari “gift.”

When Dean asked Bondi about her professional background, the attorney general responded by complaining about the former president and the Democratic congresswoman’s pre-election defense of Biden.

At the same hearing, Democratic Rep. Joseph Morelle of New York asked about the scope of the president’s pardons for Jan. 6 rioters. Bondi responded by talking about Biden pardoning his son.

Morelle’s question was substantive and of ongoing legal significance. The attorney general could’ve answered it, but she instead acted as if she hadn’t even heard the question, preferring instead to whine again about the former president.

It’s easy to forget, but Bondi is the nation’s chief law enforcement official, not some pundit trying to score points on social media. When she engages in performative partisanship, acting more like a (terrible) political operative than an attorney general, she doesn’t just damage her own reputation — she undermines her office.
