See, Ted and the rest of the maga douches are just run of the mill slobs.  They look just like their Big Mac eating orange pustule. 

The maga women purposefully deformed themselves to get the maga look.  Bee stung lips, botox, etc.  

While the men just passively turn into lumps of goo based on their unthinking intake of gravy and mashed potatoes, the women take an active and knowing role in their own disfigurement.  It's worse.

Pam Bondi: "After the October 7 anniversary, they added new drinks to the menu. One was 'Sweet Sinwar' in honor, of tribute to the leader of Hamas... You can't do that. And so we've sued them & we're gonna stop this from happening. And anywhere in the country, if you do this, we're coming after you"


This is what she’s concerned with as Trump sends Marines to occupy LA.

nothing to see here.  This is all above-board.

 

Federal prosecutors on Wednesday moved to dismiss criminal charges against a woman accused of fraud in Florida who was being represented in court by Brad Bondi, the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The Biden Justice Department filed a criminal complaint against Carolina Amesty, a former Republican lawmaker, in mid-January -- just days before President Donald Trump took office. Amesty faced two counts of theft of government property related to COVID relief fraud and, if convicted, faced a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

But on Wednesday morning, Brad Bondi claimed in court papers that "counsel for Ms. Amesty learned [last month] that the government had ceased its criminal investigation ... and withdrew its outstanding subpoenas."

"We understand that the government no longer plans to seek an indictment," wrote Brad Bondi, a lawyer at the firm Paul Hastings.

Justice Department prosecutors followed up hours later, filing court papers asking the judge to dismiss the criminal complaint without prejudice.

 

This favorable outcome for Amesty, who repeatedly accused the Biden administration of targeting her for political purposes, demonstrates a unique dynamic in the current justice system: in Brad Bondi, a defendant can hire a defense attorney with a familial relationship with the top law enforcement official in the country.

A Justice Department spokesperson said that Pam Bondi's relationship with her brother had no bearing on the outcome of the case, telling ABC News in a statement: "This decision was made through proper channels and the Attorney General had no role in it."

A spokesperson for Brad Bondi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

 

The dropping of charges Wednesday was not the first legal victory Brad Bondi has scored during the Trump administration. He previously represented Trevor Milton, the disgraced Nikola founder who was sentenced to four years in prison for lying about the viability of his electric vehicle technology; Milton secured a pardon from President Trump in March.

Amesty, according to the case docket, retained Brad Bondi in December -- about three weeks after Bondi's sister, Pam Bondi, was nominated by then-President-elect Trump to serve as his attorney general.

In the intervening months, there have been multiple delays since the case was charged. The parties repeatedly informed the judge overseeing Amesty's case that they were "engaged in active discussions regarding the appropriate disposition of this matter," and repeatedly sought extensions to file an indictment. The first request noting these "active discussions" came two weeks after Trump took office in January.

The judge granted those extensions. But in June, he only partially granted their request for an additional delay, writing in a terse order that "sufficient time has passed for the parties to work out their differences," and that their rationale "does not support tolling the deadline for more than 210 days."

According to a filing from the government in July, Brad Bondi had provided them with "extensive" records of alleged exculpatory evidence, including over 500 pages of documents and "multiple in-person meetings and phone calls." The government continued to inform the court that their "investigation remains ongoing, due in part to a pending sealed motion related to grand jury proceedings."

Throughout the protracted legal wrangling over the deadline to file a complaint, Amesty's legal team, led by Brad Bondi, repeatedly characterized the case as a "hastily-filed and politically motivated complaint" targeting his client.

"Ms. Amesty is innocent," one filing stated, claiming the loans in question "were obtained appropriately in good faith and with no misrepresentations."

There's video of what Adam Schiff said (linked) but it's better in print because you don't have to listen to Spam make a mockery of the US by interrupting him with the most childish statements you can imagine. TNR published it.

“I think it’s valuable that the American people get a sense of what you’ve refused to answer today,” Schiff told Bondi. The following questions are those that Schiff noted went unanswered, or were met with personal attacks, by the attorney general:

1. Did Bondi consult with career ethics lawyers when she approved Trump’s acceptance of a $400 million jet gifted by Qatar’s royal family?

2. Who ordered that Donald Trump’s name be flagged in the FBI’s review of the Epstein files?

3. Did Homan keep his $50,000 from the undercover agents?

4. Did Homan pay taxes on the $50,000?

5. Did DOJ prosecutors determine there was “insufficient evidence” to charge former FBI Director James Comey before he was indicted?

6. How did the administration determine whether U.S. military strikes on Venezuelan boats in the Caribbean were legal?

(Here, Bondi interrupted, asking the senator, who worked for the justice department before his career in politics, “Do you have a law degree, Senator Schiff?”)

7. Did Bondi discuss indicting Comey with Trump? 

8. Did Bondi approve the dismissal of antitrust lawyers who opposed the Hewlett Packard–Juniper merger?

9. Does Bondi support a “compensation fund” for people prosecuted in connection with the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots? 

10. Is Bondi firing career prosecutors for working on January 6 investigations?

11. Does Bondi think government officials must follow court orders?

After concluding the list, Schiff made the following statement, though he was peppered with interruptions from Bondi—who brought up red herrings, such as wildfires and riots in his home state, and threw personal barbs, calling the senator a “failed lawyer.”

This is supposed to be an oversight hearing of the Justice Department, and it comes in the wake of an indictment called for by the president of one of his enemies. This is supposed to be an oversight hearing, and it comes in the wake of revelations that a top administration official took $50,000 in a bag, and this department made that investigation go away. This is supposed to be an oversight hearing, when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.… This is supposed to be an oversight hearing in which members of Congress can get serious answers to serious questions about … the cover-up of corruption, about the prosecution of the president’s enemies.

Schiff implored members of the committee to “demand answers to those questions” and to refuse “personal slander as an answer to those questions.”

Trump Has Complained About Pam Bondi Repeatedly to Aides

The president has privately criticized his attorney general as weak and ineffective in recent weeks

https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-has-complained-about-pam-bondi-repeatedly-to-aides-fd424df3

President Trump has complained to aides repeatedly in recent weeks about Attorney General Pam Bondi, describing her as weak and an ineffective enforcer of his agenda, administration officials and other people familiar with his complaints said.

The criticisms appear to be part of an intense campaign by Trump to pressure the Justice Department to more aggressively pursue his priorities, some of the officials said. Trump has previously criticized Bondi at times but his vocal concerns about his attorney general have grown more frequent in recent months, officials said. 

This month, Trump has talked with allies about how he could appoint special counsels at the Justice Department because he is so frustrated with what he sees as the slow progress of its work, people familiar with the matter said. 

Chief among his grievances is what he sees as Bondi’s failure to quickly and effectively prosecute the investigators who had pursued him for years, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James, the officials and others familiar with his complaints said. Both criminal cases were dismissed in November by a judge who said the Trump aide who secured the indictment had been improperly appointed to her post. Trump has wanted to see the cases continue quickly.

A Justice Department investigation into another of Trump’s antagonists, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, became public on Sunday night. Powell, whom Trump has publicly berated and pressured to lower interest rates, disclosed that the Justice Department was pursuing a criminal investigation over his testimony last summer about the central bank’s building-renovation project.

Trump has also complained frequently that Bondi’s handling of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has created months of political and personal headaches for him, officials familiar with the complaints said. When White House chief of staff Susie Wiles told Vanity Fair that Bondi “whiffed” on her handling of the files, Trump told staff that he agreed with Wiles, two officials said.

He has also heard from conservative activists and influencers criticizing Bondi, and collected similar social-media posts that he has asked other aides about, the officials said. And Trump has expressed frustration that the Justice Department hasn’t done more to pursue those he claims helped steal the 2020 election, which he lost, some of the people familiar with the complaints said. 

At times Trump has complained to Bondi directly about his frustrations with the department, officials said.

Bondi has grown increasingly concerned in the past month about Trump’s complaints, people in touch with her say. A spokesman for Bondi said she has been focused on executing Trump’s directive to make America safe again. 

In a statement to The Wall Street Journal on Friday afternoon, Trump said: “Pam is doing an excellent job. She has been my friend for many years. Tremendous progress is being made against radical left lunatics who are good at only one thing, cheating in elections and the crimes they commit.”

The White House also sent Friday statements from Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Wiles and other senior administration officials, all praising Bondi. Vance said Bondi has the “full support of President Trump and myself,” and Wiles called Bondi “incredibly talented, smart and hardworking.”

Late Friday, the Fed received grand-jury subpoenas from the Justice Department that threaten a criminal indictment. The Bondi spokesman said she had “instructed her U.S. attorneys to prioritize investigating any abuses of taxpayer dollars.”

Trump is still at times warm personally with Bondi—a former Florida attorney general who was once one of his personal attorneys—including at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony Trump hosted last month, according to a person familiar with their interactions.

Other officials at the Justice Department have also come under criticism from the president, people familiar with the criticisms said. 

Trump’s comments on Bondi reflect those of some of his MAGA supporters. While she once enjoyed strong backing among the president’s voters given her history with the president, longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon said, Bondi is now “bleeding support from her and President Trump’s most loyal troops.” 

“Folks are desperate for action and just haven’t seen it,” Bannon said, providing a list of topics that the president’s supporters want her to bring more cases on, including the 2020 election and the Justice Department’s investigation into Trump campaign ties to Russia in the 2016 election.

Bondi has been less visible around the White House in recent months, White House officials said. She didn’t appear with Trump to announce the extraordinary capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, even though her agency was the one whose prosecution underpinned the arrest. (A Justice Department official said that Bondi was following Maduro’s seizure in real time and that travel logistics, combined with the sensitive nature of the operation, kept her from attending.)

Vance on Thursday also announced an unusual arrangement: the creation of a high-ranking Justice Department post to investigate fraud and that would be run by the White House and answerable to Trump instead of Bondi. Bondi thanked Vance in a post on social media. She worked with the White House on the position, the department official said, with she and Vance choosing it over the appointment of a special counsel.

Trump’s recent criticisms echo the fraught relationships he had with his first-term attorneys general. He pushed out Jeff Sessions over the Russia probe. William Barr ultimately resigned after saying investigators had found no widespread fraud that would have changed Trump’s 2020 election loss.

“The better an attorney is, the more process-oriented they are going to be, and that is in direct opposition to what Trump wants, which is someone who is outcome-oriented,” said Sarah Isgur, who served as a spokeswoman for Sessions at the Justice Department. “He can never find a great attorney general because, by definition, they can’t be a great lawyer.”

Bondi, 60 years old, has pursued many of Trump’s priorities after taking the job in February, firing prosecutors who had worked on investigations of him and praising him in frequent Fox News appearances. She authorized a U.S. attorney in Florida to reinvestigate the government’s assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election, which Trump has portrayed as a criminal plot by Democrats to undermine his first presidency. Prosecutors have issued dozens of subpoenas as part of the inquiry but no charges have been filed.

Trump’s building frustration with Bondi spilled into public view in September, when he pushed her to prosecute Comey and James in a social-media post that he had intended to send as a private message. He installed Lindsey Halligan, a White House aide, to run the federal prosecutor’s office in Virginia handling the probes, and she indicted Comey and James within weeks of her arrival. 

The cases have been on life support after a judge ruled Halligan’s appointment was unlawful and dismissed both prosecutions. The Justice Department has failed to persuade at least two grand juries to indict James since then. Nearly a month after the judge dismissed charges against Comey and James, the Justice Department filed notices of appeal in both cases. 

The Justice Department’s continuing release of the Epstein files has also kept Trump’s past relationship with the disgraced financier in the spotlight, to Trump’s exasperation. Trump has said he cut off ties long before Epstein was first arrested in 2006. As the Justice Department released tranches of new Epstein files over the holidays, Trump again complained about Bondi’s handling of them, several officials said.

Amid the criticism, Bondi has sought to respond to Trump’s requests. In November, hours after Trump demanded the Justice Department investigate prominent Democrats who were named in the Epstein documents, Bondi directed Manhattan’s U.S. attorney to lead the probe and addressed it on social media. “Thank you, Mr. President,” she wrote.
