On his first day as the newly sworn director of the FBI, Kash Patel wrote via social media: Of course, at the root of the message was unfounded Republican conspiracy theories, which became one of the myths of animation in modern GOP politics.
But complicating the matter was Patel’s unfortunate timing. Just as the new FBI director was trying to ensure that our judicial system would not be politicized to the American people, Attorney General Pam Bondy appeared a few miles away at a far-right political conference, where she was on the live podcast. Interviews were recorded. One of Congress’s most reflective Republican parties. The New York Times reported:
Attorney General Pam Bondy accused New York Mayor Eric Adams of “incredibly weak” on Thursday as the Trump administration was waiting to hear whether the judge would grant a request to dismiss the case. . The statement came in an interview with Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican of Texas, at a conservative political action conference outside Washington.
Either way, it was a very CPAC look for the country’s top law enforcement officer. In a one-on-one interview with Cruz, Bondi pitches strange and conspiratorial ideas about the Adams case, lying about New York’s crime rates, gushing about his close relationship with Donald Trump, and laughing at Hunter Biden disregarded the importance of Trump’s alleged felony. In a scandal of classified documents, she claimed to have issued a series of executive orders. This is not possible because the Attorney General cannot issue an execution order.
Earlier in the day, Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats answered Bondi after being told that they had left senior career officials by a politically appointed newcomer with decision-making power on the Department of Justice’s ethical issues. I asked.
This came shortly after Bondi, who mistakenly told the public that she had brought “accusations” against New York Democrats.
Despite the threat from overseas, it came just after Bondi, closing the FBI’s Foreign Impact Task Force.
It came to Bondi’s heels, which created the outrageous “weaponization” panel.
During his tenure as Attorney General, Merrick Garland went to extraordinary lengths to avoid partisans or political manifestations of Democrats and party bases. Garland saw what happened during Trump’s first term, and by all explanations he decided to restore integrity to his office.
The idea that he was taking the steps Bondy had taken over the two weeks at work is clearly ridiculous.
I don’t think there are many public desires in the Attorney General’s office, which has been imbued with partisan politics, but that’s exactly what Bondi has to offer.
