The rumors are true. Donald Trump has fired Pam Bondi. Todd Blanche, one of his personal lawyers from his criminal trial in New York and a former federal prosecutor, currently serving as Deputy AG, will take her place.

Bondi will return to the private sector, according to Trump. (CBS had reported she would remain in the Administration in another capacity.)

Many are speculating that the reasons for the firing are her mishandling of the release of files in the Jeffrey Epstein case. There's also her failure to fulfill his personal vengeful agenda and file charges against Adam Schiff and Letitia James.

We still won't release the files, but we maybe we can convince the rubes that it's all Pam Bondi's fault.

is things can only get worse from here.

Imagine, a former personal attorney as your AG? If the Senate confirms that, they all need to go.

I am sure I can count on Fetterman to do the right thing. /s

could do the right thing, if he drank a 7-11 slurpee and had another brain freeze.
