A) She be held in contempt, but she won't b/c federal marshals are controlled by TSF.

B) She must be disbarred by the Florida and D.C. Bars. Sure, you can be AG w/o a law license, but it's humiliating all the same.

2. She obviously deserves to be removed, DOJ is supposed to be independent, she answers TFG rather than U.S. law

Something should be done.

I could be wrong, but I believe at least the D.C. Bar Association could start an investigation and hearings. Florida, not so much.

despite Bobby never ever participating in a trial, working in a law firm, etc. All he had was his J.D. from University of Virginia.

So, pretty sure that Pam Bondi's brother has nothing to worry about.

10. Excellent point, and he's still doing the same thing, appointing friends of relatives or those he's seen on TV

He either doesn't know qualified people or will only accept those he can count on to be "loyal." And, if you remember, he got away with Jared and Ivanka even though they couldn't pass a security clearance. Come to think of it, I'd certainly be willing to bet, with his record, neither can TFG.
