Shop NowAttorney General Pam Bondi didn’t waste any time getting directly to work. As soon as she was sworn in, she started signing “several major directives.” Ones including “orders to combat the weaponization of the legal system.” She’s got a whole stack of controversial orders making the Deep State nervous.
Bondi cracks down
Pam Bondi was officially sworn in as Attorney General on Tuesday night, February 4. By Wednesday morning she was signing directives aimed at cleaning up corruption and making America great again. Along with orders to “combat the weaponization of the legal system” she’s bringing back the death penalty.
Another set of orders directs the Department of Homeland Security to “completely eliminate cartels and transnational criminal organizations.” That’s what conservatives call a great start.
Another DOJ directive signed into effect by Bondi is related to “zealous advocacy.” Everyone under her command must support the official administration policies to the best of their ability, whether they agree with them or not.
DOJ attorneys have been specifically ordered to “aggressively” enforce “criminal laws passed by Congress.” They must also “vigorously” defend “presidential policies and actions on behalf of the United States against legal challenges.”
As long as everyone does their job, everything will be fine, she assures. DOJ staff of the Democrat persuasion aren’t real happy to hear that.
“The discretion afforded Justice Department attorneys with respect to those responsibilities does not include latitude to substitute their personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election,” Bondi declared in a memo. There’s a new sheriff in town.
Subject to discipline
“When Justice Department attorneys refuse to faithfully carry out their role by, for example, refusing to advance good-faith arguments or declining to sign briefs, it undermines the constitutional order and deprives the President of the benefit of his lawyers,” Bondi explains.
That means that “any Justice Department attorney who declines to sign a brief, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the Trump administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the Justice Department’s mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination.”
Another project Bondi is working on relates to setting up a “Weaponization Working Group.” That panel “will review the activities of all law enforcement agencies over the past four years to identify instances of ‘politicized justice.‘” It will be interesting to see what they turn up.
For starters, they’re going to take a hard look at the prosecutions against Donald Trump. That’s the two led by former Special Counsel Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg’s circus in Manhattan and the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Along with those, the group “will also review any potential prosecutorial abuse regarding January 6, 2021; the FBI’s targeting of Catholic Americans; the Justice Department’s targeting of parents at school board meetings; and abuses of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances, or FACE, Act.”
Another popular directive Bondi signed “will end the moratorium on federal executions and order that federal prosecutors at the Department of Justice, including U.S. attorney’s offices, seek the death penalty when appropriate – specifically with a focus on violent drug trafficking crimes.“
