Bondi Botches It

Pam Bondi played the game by her own, illegal rules; and she still managed to completely bungle it.

Last Friday, DOJ shipped to the House Judiciary Committee some documents about the Mar-a-Lago prosecution against Donald Trump led by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Recall that the case was more straightforward than the January 6 prosecution, and by most prosecutors’ assessment, it likely would have resulted in conviction of Trump, but for the 2024 election and the repeated pro-Trump ministrations of Judge Aileen Cannon.

Wait a second. Hasn’t the same Judge Cannon ordered documents from the case to remain sealed and barred from disclosure? And didn’t the DOJ threaten Smith it would prosecute him criminally if he revealed anything about the case in congressional testimony, while refusing to explain what the boundaries of disclosure would be?

Yes. And to be clear, Cannon’s order extends not just to Volume II of the Smith report but also to “any materials that would reveal the substance of Volume II.”
