U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has been conspicuously quiet since her confirmation last week. The Lawfare has raged against the Trump administration, while AG Bondi has remained silent.
However, today at 4:30pm EST, Attorney General Bondi is scheduled to hold a press conference from Washington DC. Livestream Links Below.

I got no problem with her, and I note how respectful the media was to her,..interesting.
She sounded tough, she sounded a little PISSED, and that all to the good
Yes, but what I saw was a little over-the-top. It was as if the harsh, serious tone was to mask her insecurity?
Her tone matched the seriousness of the topic and was entirely appropriate.
Pam Bondi may or may not be a lot of things, but insecure is not one of them. She’s had tough jobs and she knows what she was getting into with this job.
No arrests of any politician. That was the deal. Just lawsuits at best.
Are you her therapist?
I saw over compensation.
In your opinion! “Everyone has a right to their own opinion but not to their own facts”.
She was much more self assured and in command during her confirmation hearing. This evening she appeared to be winging it and looked scattered. Her use of the Angel Mom was a miscalculation, as the poor parent was very uncomfortable. Any trial attny knows full well you prepare your witness. She was running late, so maybe that threw her off? What was the purpose of the LEOs standing awkwardly behind her?? Why didn’t she discuss her legal theories?? Initially she announced “charges” being filed – which is criminal lingo, but then she mentioned “law suit” – which is civil. Frankly, it was a little cringe. She got ahead of herself when she really wasn’t adequately prepared. And you’re right – absolutely my opinion based upon my observations, but having spent my entire career in the courtroom, it is a learned opinion.
anybody could be rattled at the lawlessness she is encountering.
A woman who intentionally prosecuted a transparently innocent man for murder.
Who created evidence and a fake witness giving testimony to events that did not happen…
Is rattled by the Lawfare she “suddenly” encountered???
Ok. 😂
I haven’t heard of these events. But I have never met or even seen Pam Bondi. She seems okay to me. Can you enlighten me on the events you mentioned. For now, she looks like a breath of fresh air after four years of having a useless political nut job for an AG.
She tried to flim-flam the Zim-Zam
Empty chair is an improvement of what we had the last 4 years. No offense to the chair
Search bar. George Zimmerman.
Heck,
I’ve been in a courtroom more than a lot of attorneys and I am probably old enough to be AG Bondi’s grandfather…
However,
I am not the newly minted Attorney General of The United States of America…
Respect where respect is due and honor where honor is due…
God’s way.
In God We Trust
Trust God.
Fear not.
The US Attorney General is my employee.
She will have to earn my respect.
No, she is President Trump’s employee. If there are any problems with her, you should enlighten President Trump about them.
He will hear it from the public if she does nothing but file lawsuits. She is not the person we need in that office now to fix the AG office. Caretaker at best.
You literally have zero idea. 1 week, less than that, is absolutely probationary period.
Trump is not interested in jailing who he knows to be smaller fish.
I pay her salary with the tax checks I write in April.
Let’s be exact: you pay a minuscule portion of gov’t employee checks; probably not enough to cover every one. Not sure what sort of authorities that grants you – over the rest of us.
But you don’t know her job or do it.
Ummmm….our employee….whose boss is PDJT; none of us.
She’s 60..looks great.
I have the exact same opinion. I don’t give the benefit of the doubt. Not anymore.
We’ll see what happens, but isn’t the good beginning I was looking forward for.
To me, her eyes should be on the ball. The illegal interference the judges are running against MAGA.
If Trump’s reforms don’t go through or are mindlessly delayed, nothing else will matter much.
Perhaps she will have weekly briefings and more frequent announcements. As of now I see her closer to a “fail” than a “success”.
I view Noem the same. Daily costumes and trips in the “field”. We all know nothing much is done other than shoulder-rubbing during those trips.
Holman started strong too but the numbers don’t lie.
Trump’s doing almost everything by himself. I’ll see how everything stands after 100 days… I’m still in the “hopeful” mood, but……
If no indictments or arrest in 100 days we been fooled again. When politicians ever get arrested for their corruption then the healing process starts. Other than that just more Words and no action.
bondi is going to be overwhelmed with the evidence of corruption coming at her.
What she does with it is the important part . Just more lawsuits is BS and everyone knows it. We did not vote for lawsuits Only but arrests
Her supposed insecurity will hopefully lead to overcompensating and kicking some serious butt.
Too bad
How silly, ‘simple’. Suggest you take a look at the many additional comments below by many other Treepers.
hahaha…
Are you?
Armchair psychobabble and identity politics alliance with social media has got us into a helluva mess.
no, not at all
Good lord.
Time will tell, I reckon Trump 2 will fire anyone in his team if they are not both competent and willing to do the job..
my goodness where do they come from. So being actually pissed off is a bad thing. Ever watch Tom Homan? Do you like him or is it just a man thing?
Projection.
That woman has no insecurity.
From Trish Regan to others, her toughness is affirmed.
Nah, she won’t do much. People out there know what Sundance knows, but they have the emails, and telephone calls.
A fake witness to send an innocent man to the chair. You don’t get better blackmail than that!
Hopefully, Pammy B. will be just as vigorous and diligent, hopefully even more so, in her pursuit of these crooks as she was in her hounding of Mr. Zimmerman.
Soooo…I’m trying to think what the point of a civil suit is. Why not go for an injunction???
Civil litigation takes forever.
Who does an injunction hurt vs civil litigation?
I don’t know what exactly Bondi is asking for from New York but I assume from her comments she has asked a judge to strike down their Green Light law. In Illinois she has asked to strike down sanctuary policies. These lawsuits are handled by federal judges. I’m guessing she made the same threat to Colorado and they decided to cooperate.
“Civil litigation takes forever.”
Brings to mind an expression used to describe tactics used in the past by people like Mz. James and her ilk: “The process is the punishment.” Not sure if that’s part of what Bondi has planned, but it might be.
break em monetarily .
Check out this comment from the first page of comments on this subject. It makes much sense.

Is filing a lawsuit going to bring any kind of justice to the victims of these illegal aliens? If the governor and NY Ag know that their policies are causing injury upon the legal citizens of the State of New York are they personally liable for aiding abetting an illegal alien?
They have broken federal law, why not arrest them?
Yes. They are adding and abetting criminals who have entered our country. They have committed Treason
So now Pam Bondi is filing Lawsuits. Really!! How about sending the Suits in there to arrest them.
Oh Wait. I have to FLIP MY HAIR.
Sorry I wanted a GUY with BIG you know what!!
You flip your hair?
“dawngoaway” was speaking as Pam Bondi. Try to keep up.
I’ll let AG Bondi speak for herself.
Because all of this takes time and Bondi doesn’t even have the FBI Director confirmed yet. The FBI will do the criminal investigations and gain the evidence and then bring it to the DOJ for review and then possible criminal charges. Shortcuts simply gets stuff thrown out of the courts and gives the feckless media something to turn American hearts and minds away from doing.
Yes, and if one looks at the end of the 1st clip, starting at ~13:00, she finishes strong.
There’s an enthusiasm there with Pam that’s appealing.
Maybe she’s more ‘Paul Drake’ than ‘Perry Mason’. Not sure.
But at least she doesn’t have that deep-seated anger of Merrick Garland.
Getting rejected twice for SCJ, was well deserved. Especially after the Oklahoma City bombing fiasco.
States have sanctuary laws. Bondi is seeking to have them struck down. If completed, the illegals will have no protections.
Living in a state that has sanctuary laws brings a greater appreciation for just how destructive those laws are to all of civil society. Those laws, and the states that have them, have two primary sources of survival. 1) Legal support from the federal government acknowledging the laws. 2) Financial support from the federal government to cover the incredible monetary burden these laws place on the states that have them. In case people haven’t noticed yet, housing an influx of illegals is expensive!
Strike down the laws and cut off the flow of money and most of these illegal will be forced to “deport” themselves.
serious question – I wonder if they are “laws” at all.
Yes. USC 8.
You can’t just arrest the Gov and AG of NY. Be real. Jeez.
You can’t just arrest the former President of the United States for his official acts but they did!
NOT THE AG! It was NY.
You don’t remember Jack Smith?
Rod Blagojevich was arrested while he was the governor of Illinois.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Blagojevich#Impeachment,_removal_from_office,_trial
Why not? I thought nobody was above the law. So if the governor of NY murdered someone or was caught stealing, she has immunity? I don’t think so. No one is above the law. Or maybe immunity works if there’s only a LITTLE BIT of crime? Moral relativism is alive and well in New York and the rest of our nation.
Imho Cuomo murdered many NYrs during his tenure as governor
True that. And if he got away with it that doesn’t make it okay. That’s my point. Law should be based on solid morality. If our society is immoral, our lawfulness or lawlessness reflects that. Public officials’ behaviors tend to shine a spotlight on it.
Sure you can.
Please read this comment from the first page. It makes a lot clear.

All good attorney generals need good cops to work with them.
Until the FBI gets squared away and Patel cleans house AG Bondi is somewhat handicapped.
Maybe the federal marshalls can help her a bit.
She has already said fib is full of good people, just a few bad apples at the top.
Not looking good. I am glad she is not running the fibers.
Sure, she should have bad mouthed the FBI whom she has to work with. That’s just what a good boss should do with the people she has to work with and rely on.FBI probably does have good people working there.
Praise in public, chastise in private.
That would require good leadership and common sense… the very things President Trump has talked about. Will Pam deliver? I have hope that she will. Will the others deliver that President Trump has chosen? I have hope that they will.
No they don’t.
Oh? You know all the employees in the FBI?
I’m only giving Bondi a pass until Kash Patel is in….after that if she doesn’t up her game I will be very upset. I believe there is probable cause to investigate these deep state judges for receiving illegal payments. This is lawfare at work…. At the very least their bank accounts should be looked at. Hopefully Kash Patel will be all over that and criminal investigations of J6 etc.
Small victories, people that’s how we win, stop crabbing all the time, there’s nothing you can do about it
Glad to see I’m not the only one who is weary of the crabbing.
Not impressed with her press conference. Maybe she will get better in time. Makes me really appreciate President Trump’s press conferences. Our new press secretary is very impressive as well.
I’m not a huge fan, but Eeyore act in this thread is painful. We can give this a chance. A single press conference isn’t going to make a real difference either way.
Yeah. It seems to be the first time since Jan 20 that the Eeyores have regrouped and started chewing thistles this loudly.
I like the other appointments better than Bondi, and I keep in mind the backstory sundance shared.
But that said – it’s also a good question how much can realistically be done before Kash gets in.
That’s because a federal judge unfroze their paychecks ! 🤣
Yes. I’ve seen two paths the appeals can take:
Harriet Hagemann says that for an injunction of this sort a bond must be posted, and presumably it was not.
I also ran across another Eko essay this morning which focuses on the “good behavior” requirement for judges in the Constitution.
https://eko.substack.com/p/good-behavior
Both approaches should be part of appeals – in my humble opinion of course!
I just watched the Bondi press conference. I wouldn’t hire her to represent me in anything, and so far I think she is a disaster as the AG. To take just one example, the temporary restraining order issued against the President by Judge Engelmeyer was issued in BLATANT violation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, notably in violation of Rule 65(b)(1). See the links below for details. Why wasn’t Bondi’s Justice Department IMMEDIATELY in the Court of Appeals asking for a Writ of Mandamus to quash the illegal TRO? A first year law student could see that should have been done- but Bondi sat silent and is still sitting silent, and failing to protect the President, due process, or the Constitution. She basically hasn’t done anything of note since she was confirmed. Moreover, her press conference was borderline incoherent. In my opinion, she is a disaster not waiting to happen but already happening. The President needs a MUCH better lawyer.

THANK you David…I feel like I am in the twilight zone here. Everyone saying “give her time” she is just getting started, she is doing what she can, etc. etc. She is working behind the scenes..give it time. Let us all remember RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, they went aggressively after J6, Leticia James/Bragg stepped up to the mic and accused DJT of all kinds of things and GOT HIM arrested. This is WEAK SAUCE. period, full stop.
“I’ll give Bondi a pass on that aspect. For now.”
A MAGA Pass/Fail AG?
Americans deserve much better than that for an AG after living through the past four years.
Help this Canadian President Trump supporter.
Each day is bringing to the surface a seemingly never ending amount of criminal and corrupt behaviour.
I have read here the court of public opinion is extremely important…it seems to me out on this perch, that sizeable majority of Americans are outraged at what Elon and Co have uncovered.
I was listening to President Trump talking o where he stated Elon has over 100 working for him now and that PDJT will tomorrow be naming names.
My hunch is a few sphincters are tightening.
Cheer!
Weak sauce after 2 weeks?
Writ of prohibition – stop doing what you’re doing.
Writ of mandamus – perform an official act that your office is required to do.
So David got it wrong? Prohibition not Mandamus?
Thank you for this comment. I feel the same way, and was attacked in the Presidential daily blog today for questioning exactly what you just said. First, what took so long to say anything about the TRO and the assault on our separation of powers? This was not a strong first impression in my opinion.
It’s almost like people have forgotten about Sessions and then Barr.
I think Trump made a mistake here. Hope I’m proven wrong.
She is not the attorney on these cases.
Here are the attorneys who handle the case in RI, for example:
BRETT A. SHUMATE
Acting Assistant Attorney General
ALEXANDER K. HAAS
Director
/s/ Daniel Schwei
DANIEL SCHWEI
Special Counsel
ANDREW F. FREIDAH
EITAN R. SIRKOVICH
Trial Attorneys
United States Department of Justice
You people expect too much of her.
After looking at those names I’m not really full of confidence!
She is the face of those people.
My God, it’s full of stars!
Gee, it’s great to know we have such knowledgeable people who can tell Pam what to do.
Maybe you should send an email, immediately, and clue her in.
Of course, you might get laughed at by suggesting this is all up to Pam and that she should immediately (be sure to put that in caps) act.
The risk you run is that by ignoring the President and others, such as his other attorneys and strategists and even Elon, you might be seen as naive. You know, they might be planning an approach that includes many actors and actions. The President might even want to get Congress in on this. Or he might be setting up someone or a group, to bring sunlight to rot. So many possibilities…
But hey, you could give an email a shot.
Thank you. My thoughts also. I’m tired of the crabbing about Pam.
I bet you will live to tell the tales of swimming through crabs, though.
So there’s that..
😀 LOL – Thanks for the chuckle. I suppose there’s also crabbing about crabbing but a good night’s sleep helps with that.
so far I think she is a disaster as the AG … She basically hasn’t done anything of note since she was confirmed.
She has been AG for 8 days! What are you expecting? Jeff Sessions was a disaster, Bondi is actually doing something. Did you hear her say Colorado is now complying with ICE? Illinois has been sued already (to strike down sanctuary laws) and now New York. Also, look here for more activities: https://www.justice.gov/ag/select-publications
her press conference was borderline incoherent
It wasn’t incoherent at all.
For now, Bondi has to do all this on her own until she can root out and fire the many unelected bureaucrats in her department. It’s called the deep state because it goes deep.
We should also be aware that on this site and other conservative leaning political sites the Democrats paid “concern” trolls are out in force trying to discourage our side into thinking we can never defeat The Swamp.
Exactly, she’s not even a good Anger Mgr trying to commiserate instead of just doing what needs to be done. She’s in over her head and needs to get surrounded by sharp attys quick, AND give them credit, which people like her, whose biggest job is hiding their incompetence, have a hard time doing.
She has sharp attorneys working for her.
and how do we know this? Did they get Trump’s sharp attorneys in place yet?
Wow, it’s too bad she didn’t have you there to advise her. On the other hand, you could look at your expectations to see how realistic they are, but that would require being honest with yourself.
Yes, after 2 weeks in her position we need real change. LOL
How do you know she hasn’t filed a writ, or an appeal? A new judge just ordered a stay on the TRO giving employees a buyout. I think things are moving along quite well with Ms. Bondi.
Well, she did go to the Super Bowel and chatted w/a couple of LEO’s.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the DOJ goes after judges who are letting illegal aliens out the back door to avoid ICE picking them up. These judges are also aiding and abetting illegal aliens as per https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-1907-title-8-usc-1324a-offenses
She seemed somewhat off-balance and shrill, struggling to calibrate her words, temper, and body language. I guess it’ll all come with some more practice. I have hopes for her.
Or maybe this is just how she speaks and we shouldn’t nit pick it. I’m not necessarily a big Bondi fan, I still hold a grudge from the Trayvon debacle. But as long as she is taking action and loyally defending Trump and his agenda then I’m good. I’m not expecting perfection from her. Trump is imperfect too.
I have hopes that the nit picking will end.
That’s what I thought! Not confident at all, but trying to come off as a contender.
Instead of Bondi’s DoJ suing James, Hochul, etc. why couldn’t they be charged criminally. (Accessory to murder…or the like). Parents are prosecuted for providing guns to their children who later commit crimes. What’s the difference?
It’s probably impossible to pursue criminal charges. What she’s doing is attempting to strike down the sanctuary laws. If successful then the states/cities will probably be prohibited from implementing sanctuary laws so this might be the way to go. A permanent solution.
Then why not a massive strike, simultaneously filing against all sanctuary cities???
Perhaps if one by one the Blue states fold, then CA will be left to stand alone. A lawsuit won’t work on Newsom. He has a track record of even ignoring Supreme Court rulings against his illegal policies. After he refuses to comply with a lawsuit, perhaps Bondi can work on filing criminal charges against Newsom. I would bet most Californians would be happy to see him arrested and put in jail if he won’t comply with federal law.
There another angle, very important, that hasn’t been brought up and that’s the prostitution of children by their gang members. Homan said they had a lead regarding some of these children. By the tipoffs from agencies, Times, and Soros run stations, they have allow these people to get away with those children. –
I was disappointed in her. Why does Trump consistently select the wrong person for AG. This is his third mistake. So many others he could have chosen. She is in over her head.
Wait to see the results from the lawsuits. Trump needed a loyal person to work with him, not someone who would drift off and do his own thing like Sessions did. I think Bondi is loyal to Trump. We should be happy for it. If she’s able to get the sanctuary laws struck down then it’s a permanent solution, not just one that lasts during Trump’s term.
I guess you are right…just not impressed.
She was confirmed one lousy week ago. Give her a chance, you guys!
Thank you! I agree! Also, Kash Patel is not yet confirmed. I believe he would be helpful to Pam, but the confirmation needs to happen. I thought she did a good job at this Presser considering it’s her first one. I firmly believe more folks on this thread need to look at their expectations.
I think it’s okay that you’re not impressed. President Trump wasn’t trying to impress people with his choices. He made his choices of cabinet members based on who he thought would do the best job. And I KNOW he is not stupid. He’s not perfect. But he IS smart and more seasoned. Again, please look at your expectations and consider that they may not be realistic.
We shall see in the days and weeks ahead if you’re right about this loyalty. I have my doubts but I hope she surprises me. Unfortunately her start today reminded me of Sessions.
OK.
OK
Glad you see your short sightedness. Congrats.
“Why does Trump consistently select the wrong person for AG. This is his third mistake.”
According to your assessment, President Trump must be the one who is in over his head. Perhaps we should throw him out and get someone better.
I think you’re far too easily disappointed. I suggest looking at your expectations. I don’t buy that she’s the wrong person for AG. Therefore this is not his third mistake IMO. I also don’t buy that she is in over her head. How do you know that? You know that for sure?
I would much rather have seen someone stronger put in this position. I agree Trump’s choice of Bondi came out of left field. I can’t see her standing up to the beating/threats she will get from Democrats if she tries to enforce the laws that challenge their crime empire. They always threaten impeachment and God-knows-what threats go on behind the scenes. They had Barr turning white at the gills in his Congressional hearings, reduced to stammering and sputtering in the midst of their “reclaiming my time” antics whenever he tried to answer their questions. She seems like the type who will fold even faster. I hope I’m wrong.
IMHO this is not off to a good start. She’s already toning down her approach. Soon we will see Holman toning down his rhetoric on FOX also, since Bondi has decided to focus on lawsuits instead of criminal prosecution for violating federal laws. We don’t have time for the namby-pamby “We don’t want to hurt you” method. Democrats are hard-core Communists and they don’t “play nice.” She should have learned from the Jeff Sessions era. I prefer the Trump Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robot style approach. It’s been beautiful to watch how the Left can’t keep up with all the issues to screech about since there are several new ones every day that are a blow to their crime syndicate. The script writers who write all the Left’s narratives can’t keep up, so they have fallen back on the Racist and “Trump is a Nazi” card. Lol.
She did well . Lots more to come. Gripping about this is telling.
Dang it. It was autocorrect, I sware!
“swear” is the correct spelling.
Spelling it wrong was a deliberate joke.
Auto Smell Stinks.
Never forget Pam Bondi helped with the political persecution of George Zimmerman. Pam Bondi is rotten to the core.
Yeah, I’m afraid so. Pandering and Anger Mgmt are her go tos.
And you know her really well so that you can pass quick judgement on her character.
Technically it was Rick Scott, but I never see anyone ripping him for it. It was Scott who appointed Angela Corey.
Scott was pushing hard for the indictment of Zimmerman like Kemp in the Brunswick GA case!
You know her core? How?
David believes he can see into her heart and know her character inside and out. I’m sure he can’t be wrong either as he knows so so so much.
She is w/the Aspen Group.
WOW!! she is very sharp and direct. Love it.
So, AG role. Now we are confused about no action with the unconstitutional TROs on Trump. I think it has been noted that really is not her role. It’s the solicitor general who shepards that stuff.
As comparison, while we hate what he did, Garland did stuff against J6ers, grannies in front of abortion clinics, and of course, Trump several times. So, in comparison, NOT equivalence, Bondi is doing to Huchul, James and the DMV dude.
That is probably the official role of the AG.
Again, comparison NOT EQUIVALENCE.
I felt like I was listening to an Anger Mgr. I don’t need someone to share or point out an upset, I need to hear who got arrested that day.
She doesn’t arrest.
Your feelings were lying to you. Our emotions do that at times all too often. I saw it as Pam being angry on behalf of the mother who lost her daughter to a cruel murderer. BTW – anger is one of the stages of grief. I believe Pam was experiencing an empathy of grief for this Angel Mom and other moms like her. Her anger is also justified because she knows where these wrongs came from and how they happened. I thought she did just fine for a first press briefing.
I think I overheard Bondi singing “California here we come” after the news conference.
President Trump has been criticized for not doing enough, soon enough as well.
Poppycock!
Let it play out
Yes! Thank you! I’m tired of the crabbing about how things are going. Reminds me of Israel crabbing to God after He has provided for them.
Everybody needs one.
Aisle blueMA is covered with broken glass and looks like some jackass hurled in there.
I’m not a Bondi fan but am trying to keep an open mind regarding her performance. I understand that she is new to the job but to date the only thing I’ve seen her do is wag her finger at a press confrrence and tell the states you better cooperate with us when it comes to immigration enforcement. Actions speak louder than words.
Bondi was clearly uncomfortable with the “we’re coming after you” tone that she was supposed to set. She’s not Karoline Leavitt, and that look doesn’t fit her. She looks too much like Miami Beach Barbie for that. What did allow Bondi to access some real feeling was the story of the Angel mom who was with her. She used that to stabilize herself and let a more fierce attitude through more naturally.
She is going to have to work on her delivery. Trump is clearly trying to strike a fierce tone in the people around him. As the AG, she needs to have that on tap for press conferences.
I’ll give her some time, but I was disappointed when she was nominated and I’m not optimistic about her now. We need an angry, hungry wolverine for AG, and all I’ve seen so far is a timid kitten getting pushed from behind. She needs to find her sea legs fast, if she has any. There is zero time to waste.
She seemed very unsettled…almost pathetic.
Hope the bench is deep….
😏
Pam Bondi is out of her league for this position as AG. Keep in mind that she always had someone in Florida doing the grunt work for her…assistant prosecutors, law enforcement, paralegals. Basically, she just had to have her tone down, throw in a little hitting of a podium for theatrics, read the next line on her paper before her, and know some basic law.
Pam Bondi is not surrounded by those people anymore. Pam Bondi will have to be the one directing now, and she’s used to following.
Entertainment incoming the first time she comes before the House or Senate…they’ll eat her for lunch!
She may have been quiet but she came out swinging. She was mad.
She is in for a tough go.
This financial stuff is minor compared to what these crooks have done with the stolen tax money. I’m referring to the children and if any of you have seen and heard the depths of horrible things that have gone on while people in charge turn their heads at the least and are involved in the vile business on other end.
It will take a very strong person just to look at and consider the crimes, let alone have to look at the evidence.
I couldn’t do it.
Who is running her schedule? For an AG to show up late to her own press conference and then apologize to the press makes her look flaky. How could she not know that she had a schedule conflict with the Tulsi Gabbard swearing in and her press conference?
As a top member of Trump’s admin, she appears distracted and mismanaged compared to Homan, Hegseth, Musk, Zeldin, Bessent, Rubio… perception and authenticity r everything. And a big “tell” that she didn’t know Justice Dept Emil Bove had dismissed the federal corruption case against Mayor Adams.
Now you’re grasping at straws.
I don’t know what this anti-Pam Bondi business here at CTH is all about but it’s unseemly. It feels like group think and you are all piling on her.
Hard to believe Sydney Powell wasn’t better, more capable, more reliable than she is. And who gives an f about the confirmation process. Strong arm em. Tell them you’ll release their insider trades if they don’t confirm. Could have done the same with Doug Macgregor, instead of Hegseth,
Talk about Secretaries of Justice and Defence that could really destroy the Deep State by demolishing the pillars it stands upon, which is of course what all of us want Trump to do and what he claims to be doing.
Instead, we get Bondi and Hegseth, two transparent lightweight losers.
Sorry, but out of the available candidates if you drop the excuse one couldn’t if Trump chose others due to inconvenience, the truth shines forth.
The Sydney Powell who for many months on this site, was bringing the great awakening for democrats? Sorry, I got nothing against her, but she completely disappeared. And yes, I know there were legal issues. Anyone can throw stones so why not let this woman attempt to do her job before we throw her under the bus.
Let’s see how well Pam Bondi performs before we condemn her. President Trump’s people will guide her, and she will resign if she is not up to the task.
The George Zimmerman case was a long time ago and hopefully she has grown from that experience. We have all done things in the past that were wrong.
Does 47 even know? He clearly doesn’t know about the battlefield reality of Ukraine because of his past comments about Russian casualty numbers vs Ukrainian and the Russian economic performance under Western sanctions generally, which means he’s being lied to. Directly. So does Trump even know about Zimmerman?
And BTW, if you’re a lawyer, you don’t jeopardise your whole career as Bondi did with Zimmerman, if it’s only your first outing. This is your whole life. It’s what you do, and have done all your life since college graduation. It’s all you know. Therefore, what does it take to get someone to put precisely that on the line? Which is what she did.
Pam Bondi leaves the entire Congress SPEECHLESS with EPIC TAKEDOWN of Adam Schiff
In Australia public servants can be sued in their personal capacity. Their personal assets are at risk. For misfeasance and malfeasance in public office. It’s basically where they make decisions with reckless disregard for the harm that could be done to the public. Like protecting illegal immigrant criminals. Does this apply in America?
Sounds like it should, don’t it.
What a fantastic law.
I wonder if Pam Bondi is on some sort of flu meds. She looked a bit out of it, was coughing, jittery/jerky and she was blinking with glassy, slightly bloodshot eyes. It was like she didn’t want to turn her head too quickly for fear of getting dizzy. She wasn’t herself.
I saw a video of her earlier on the White House lawn in the snow. She was saying one of the same things she said at this presser with way more conviction and verve. So maybe she is feeling under the weather? I hope that’s why she seemed off. If so, praying she feels better soon.

I suppose the thing I find disturbing is there appears to be no real penalty, no personal cost and therefore no real threat to the actors providing sanctuary to the illegal’s. They just keep doing what they’re doing until justice gets around to working on their case. Harsh personal penalties that actually hurt – that’s what is needed. Even if they start obeying Federal law due to the threat of prision. Past transgressions should not be over looked.
Local sheriffs are the answer. Trump/Homan needs to unleash the powers they have through a publicity campaign.
Every public encounter they have is an opportunity…
I think you and most here are missing the point. James and the SDNY are the one dangerous entity out there that remains. Bannon has been harping on this for days. The one last chink in the Trump team’s armor, he called it. The DOJ has just tied them up in court for months, it seems to me. This is how the commies used to sideline people, now being used against them.
I suppose you could be right. But even so… “we” are tying up the entity “New York State” for months – perhaps. But what of the personal cost to the players. They are using resources provided by NY state. It isn’t costing them personally. And they have proven over and over again they have Noooooo… problem spending other peoples money. Maybe there isn’t any way to damage them personally in the grand scheme of things. But to alter this behavior it seems to me only a heavy personal cost has the ability to make that happen.
So she’s been sworn in for what, about a week? It’s not too much for her & team to be given a little time to assess all the whirl of lawfare involving Fed district judges and begin to figure out a plan to counter it. I’ll be watching over the next couple weeks to see she / they have got some guts. We saw in PDJT’s first term that an incompetent or downright cowardly AG can just wile away and waste time. (Gads, Sessions was an awful wimp.) Trump needs to give her a little time and see what she can do, then if she’s up to the job, get somebody else.
Oops, obviously I meant ‘if she’s not up to the job get somebody else.’
Go after Bragg too Pam! So thrilled you’re there. Don’t blank with an angry southern woman, you’ll lose.
Lawsuits don’t mean anything to the Democrats obstructing ICE. They are happy to pay our tax money to satisfy the court if they lose the lawsuit, which will take a long time to work through the courts, (spending our money on their legal defense) and they will keep right on doing what they want to do. Until there are criminal charges of Obstruction of Justice, etc and they are facing jail time or personal financial liability, Bondi is just blowing smoke. This is truly disappointing since she talked a big talk to get confirmed into this role. The American people deserve to get what was promised to them, and not just another big talking-no action AG.
Please bear with me; in the longer (2:21:50) recording at mns 51:40 and 54:25 President Trump mentions activist judges; in the second recording of AG Bondi’s press conference she also alludes to the complicity of activist / unfaithful judges. … Separately, President DJT (personally knows) and E Musk have expressed frustration with judges who should not have been allowed to remain on the bench.
To terminate inferior court judges found to have consistently, deliberately practiced “bad Behaviour” is a fundamental function of the judicial authority vested in the Supreme Court pursuant to Article III.
Legal “scholars” and “judges” have been bantering about these matters for at least 125 years (not counting colonial charters and state constitutions in the founding era which included removal procedures other than impeachment). … Unfortunately, “judges” themselves show a lack of independence given the subject matter potentially could adversely impact each of them.
Therefore (I offer),
“The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” (Article. III., Section. 1. Clause. 1.)
The legal community has long accepted that the U.S. Constitution contains no “wasted words”; as well, “supreme” and “inferior” by their respective common understanding and the definition of each of those two words precludes the very democratic idea of having the “inferior” courts vote (en mass directly and / or through an appellate proxy) on the acceptability of the decisions of “supreme” court justices without offering well-reasoned, authoritative arguments. To so empower the “inferior” courts otherwise would only advance “tyranny by the majority” (and deliberately ignore the “supreme law” of the land, i.e., the U.S. Constitution).
Then there is the nuanced hurdle that Congress can only impeach in limited circumstances; and those circumstances do not include “breaches of ethics”; whatever that term of art may mean in the context of the Constitution.
Next, for Congress to declare ethical standards for judges of the supreme Court would be ironic, and possibly undermine “separation of powers” (which is likely why the “impeachment power” is restricted to a few specific transgressions).
[As well (to me) “judicial standards” sounds a bit like an effort to make the Congress and feral government the “established religion” of the nation (but, it does flow directly from the demonrats’ mantra: “These are Our Values.” (Not exactly clear whether the “Our” refers to the demonrats or “originalism”.)]
One or more judicial panels comprised of appellate court judges could be empowered by the Supreme Court pursuant to its “implied power” to supervise inferior courts. “good Behaviour” comes from English law and practices preceding and including the time until the US Constitution was ratified; as a consequence various aspects of “bad Behaviour” are known and likely applicable to US Constitution.
Such “bad Behaviour” could include: failure to maintain a judicial temperament and / or perform one’s duties; incompetence; political bias; refusal to follow precedence without properly reasoned arguments; consistently mis-reading prior decisions cited; manipulation of case assignment and appellate processes; … (such a list needs to be precise and limited so as to mitigate the possibility of corruption of the process).
All of the above are outside the impeachment causes specified in the Constitution and previously in English law. And, are of such a nature as to give rise to judicial controversies; and, Congress is not qualified to adjudicate judicial controversies, nor does it have the time to do so.
There are solid arguments that the Supreme Court “merely” need assert its Constitutional authority; “bad Behaviour” results in bad decision, and unnecessary work for appellate courts and the Supreme Court. To terminate inferior court judges found to have consistently, deliberately practiced “bad Behaviour” is a fundamental function of the judicial authority vested in the Supreme Court pursuant to Article III.
Separately, as others have noted over past decades, inferior court judges who refuse to retire / resign despite suffering permanent disabilities including cognitive impairment should also be removed via the above process.
Last it is possible instituting a judicial process such as the above would result in Congress attempting to appoint truly qualified persons to the inferior courts.
As to the Supreme Court itself, the President and Senate should be diligent as to how they identify and screen candidates. As well, unreasoned, sophistic or political decisions issued by the Supreme Court should be challenged by well-reasoned arguments developed by the inferior courts; nothing in the above prevents the inferior courts from fulfilling that very important role.
In Summary:
It’s past time for inferior court judges to not be subject to removal by a “process” which SCOTUS is empowered to institute by Article III, as it is the “Supreme” court, and separation of powers.
Congress cannot remove Article III judges via “impeachment” for “bad Behaviour”. But, if Article III judges serve during “good Behaviour” then they should be removed for “bad Behaviour”.
Such “bad” behaviour could include: failure to maintain a judicial temperament and / or perform one’s duties; incompetence; political bias; refusal to follow precedence without properly reasoned arguments; consistently mis-reading prior decisions cited; manipulation of case assignment and appellate processes; … (such a list needs to be precise and limited so as to mitigate the possibility of corruption of the process).
All of the above are outside the impeachment causes specified in the Constitution, yet are consistent with English law prior to the founding (as is impeachment and other aspects of the Constitution).
As well, “bad Behaviour” is of such nature as to give rise to judicial controversies; Congress is not qualified to adjudicate judicial controversies, nor does it have the time to do so.
There are solid arguments that the Supreme Court “merely” need assert its Constitutional authority; “bad Behaviour” results in bad decisions, and unnecessary work for appellate courts and the Supreme Court.
