Bondi has a real problem on her hands. I just read wikipedia, and she's crooked: abuses her power and shrugs off ethics. But, what are her moral foundations? I'll pre-empt the obvious rejoinder that she has none. We don't know that.
Is she a sociopath who doesn't care about having her name forever tied to a trafficking operation that provided teenagers to old men? I think that dread is what makes the GOPs do their disingenuous reversal on their votes. They're disingenuous through and through, but I doubt any of them are sincere in their votes to cover-up for the president. Their faces may get blend with the crowd.
None of them are as isolated in this as Bondi.
When this comes up, her name will always be in the first paragraph. The intolerant moral persecution of non-Ward Cleave sexual certainty is despicable, but, say what you will, at least it's an ethos, Dude.
I'm guessing that she does not want to be bad guy in this. She's spitting the bit when it comes to trafficking teenage girls to amoral wealthy shitwads.
I think Trump's fallback position about "credible" information is a compromise offer. Either don't publish under claim of credibility or publish and paint the whole thing as incredible (I hate what we've done with this word). Not a bad strategy for a public that's so far been willing to collect Trump Big Beautiful Fig Leaves.
Accusing Obama and Biden is quite a leap. It's lazy on Trump's part. He's likely going off script to do so. I think the script was Steele Dossier, Russia Hoax, Perfect Phone Call all generated by the deep state. He's peddled that before with putridly favorable results.
A lot of this comes down to the soul of Pam Bondi. Pence came to a moment where he stood his ground, and no person exceeded his sychopancy.
Well, Pam?
