President Donald Trump publicly vented at Attorney General Pam Bondi on Saturday, saying the lack of criminal charges against top adversaries was “killing our reputation and credibility.”

“We can’t delay any longer,” Trump posted on Truth Social in a message directed to “Pam.” “JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!” He specifically lamented the lack of criminal charges against Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, three of his most prominent political antagonists.

    It reeks of desperation. He knows he’s running out of time. We need to keep the pressure up on every front.

    I wonder how long before he fires Bondi. There aren’t enough DOJ resources to chase every case he demands. And with virtually all of them being meritless, she has no hope of winning them. Sadly for Bondi, Trump hates losers. It makes me misty eyed to think of her future career 🎻

      It’s a minor miracle that the law even matters anymore. Are the courts not completely captured now? How?

        It’s true that the supreme court often bows to Trump, but the DOJ has lost frequently this year in the lower courts. Even there, traditionally the DOJ wins nearly all their cases. However, Bondi’s DOJ has been so incompetent that they’ve lost a record number. So many, that DOJ attorneys are losing their deferential rapport with judges.

        It’s not perfect, and justice remains incomplete and slow, but the courts are jamming up the overreaches.

        One great source of information and hope is Marc Elias’s Democracy Docket series which frequently covers these topics.

      It was pretty clear the cons weren’t going to get any better once they topped Nixon just a few years later with Iran/Contra…and basically got off scott-free. They even had the fucking balls to lionize Ronnie Raygun who had the most criminal administration in HISTORY (up until that point, anyway) and try to put his fucking name and visage on everything and did everything possible to start re-writing history as soon as that geezer shuffled out of office.

        This - this fascism right here - this is why Fox News was founded by Nixon aides. To create this disgusting abomination and keep it wrapped up in the flag.

      He’s already a credible and reputable fraud and rapist.

      I mean, there are certifications. He’s secure in those.
