Summary
Pam Bondi, Trump’s attorney general nominee, hinted at the existence of an “enemies list” during her confirmation hearing.
When questioned by Senators Hirono and Whitehouse, Bondi avoided disavowing the list or denying potential targeting of individuals like Jack Smith, Liz Cheney, and Merrick Garland.
She defended Trump’s FBI pick, Kash Patel, who previously alluded to such a list in his book, Government Gangsters.
Critics fear the Justice Department could be weaponized against political opponents under Bondi and Trump’s leadership.
That is a rediculous bar. Don’t worry about it until we are sure there is a list even with all the references in the administration to reprisals and such. Imagine someone saying to not be hyperbolic about concentration camps until we know for sure they exist. I mean hitler hid that shit as best he could.
Mmmhmm. Ok.
But you assume I’m saying “don’t worry about it”. I’m clearly not. I’m saying don’t use click-bait headlines that are factually inaccurate so that we can worry about the RIGHT things. Ie that there almost certainly will be a list AND that Bondi will lie through her teeth to hide that fact. If we do this then we can better understand how to expose said list AND the lies.
ok. I get that but unfortunately most headlines are just pants now.
