During the first occupation of the White House by Donald Trump, he distinguished himself by having the highest turnover in his Cabinet and White House staff in history. Despite bragging that he would hire “only the best people,”<\/em> he ended up hiring people that he later fired because they were, in his own words, “incompetent, stupid,”<\/em> and\/or “losers.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Things are not getting off to much of a better start as Trump begins to put together the team for his next reign of error. Before a single confirmation hearing has been scheduled, Trump’s choice for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, has withdrawn his name from consideration due the flood of allegations of his criminal sexual misconduct and flagrant dishonesty. And the fate of Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is facing a growing barrage of similar allegations.<\/p>\n

Within hours of the Gaetz nomination being scrapped, Trump announced his replacement for the post, former Florida state Attorney General Pam Bondi. The announcement was made<\/a><\/strong>, as usual, on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, which appears to also be his official platform for presidential press releases<\/a><\/strong>. The notice listed some of Bondi’s experience as a prosecutor, taking credit for Florida’s middling to poor record on drugs and crime. It also addressed a familiar theme in Trump’s repertoire of whining…<\/p>\n

“The partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s set aside the fact that there is no evidence whatsoever of the Justice Department being partisan. To the contrary, it has also prosecuted several prominent Democrats, including President Biden’s son, Hunter. But if fighting crime is actually what Trump wants from his Justice Department, they can start with his own record of 34 felony convictions and 54 still pending charges.<\/p>\n

What Trump doesn’t bother to mention about Bondi is that she was on his defense team during his first impeachment trial for attempting to pressure the president of Ukraine into investigate Biden, withholding U.S. security aid, and obstruction of Congress. He also didn’t mention that she accepted an illegal donation from him, then dropped out of a lawsuit against his fraudulent Trump University.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Trump’s assertion that Bondi wouldn’t be “weaponizing”<\/em> the Department of Justice herself has no basis in reality. She actually made the opposite case<\/a><\/strong> last year in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity that…<\/p>\n

“When Republicans take back the White House – and we will be back in there – you know what’s gonna happen? The Department of Justice, the prosecutors will be prosecuted, the bad ones. The investigators will be investigated. Because the deep state, last term for President Trump, they were hiding in the shadows. But now they have a spotlight on them and they can all be investigated. The house needs to be cleaned out because now we know who most of them are.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
