New Attorney General Vows to Have DOJ Go After Trump Foes - Glenn Kirschner [View all]
Shortly after being sworn in, Attorney General Pam Bondi published a memo regarding "ending the weaponization of the federal government."
The problem is, the priorities in this memo signal the death of the independence of the Department of Justice. DOJ's priorities will shift from focusing on crimes that impact the American people to seeking revenge against Donald Trump's foes.
The Bondi memo promises to pursue "Special Counsel Jack Smith and his staff," "Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (and) New York Attorney General Letitia James, and their respective staffs," and those who investigated and prosecuted the crimes committed at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
This obscene pervasion of the rule of law and the independence of the Department of Justice constitutes ACTUAL weaponization of the DOJ.
This video discusses the new reporting and the rule-of-law--busting Bondi memo. - Glenn Kirschner - 02/06/2025.
