Pam
Bondi
found
out
the
hard
way
that
Trump’s
obsession
with
loyalty
is
a
one-way
street.
Like
Chief
Justice
John
Roberts
before
her,
she
learned
that
no
amount
of
selling
out
your
principles
or
mortgaging
your
dignity
will
ever
be
enough
for
Trump.
But
we
have
some
good
news
for
the
departing
Attorney
General!
She’s
still
on
track
for
a
potential
victory
in
our
bracket
challenge.
Which
is
important
news
as
she
moves
on
to
the
“much
needed
and
important
new
job
in
the
private
sector”
that
she
absolutely
does
not
have.
And
she
absolutely
crushed
Alina
Habba
in
our
Final
Four
matchup:
Bondi
issued
a
statement
attempting
to
slather
lipstick
on
her
shitcanning,
she
touted
the
fact
that
murders
in
this
country
are
at
an
historic
low.
This
is
true,
but
has
also
been
true
of
pretty
much
every
year
since
the
90s.
She
did
not,
for
example,
mention
that
she’s
diverted
the
Department
of
Justice’s
efforts
from
prosecuting
23,000
drug,
terrorism,
and
other
crimes
to
chase
down
roofers
who
messed
up
their
immigration
paperwork
20
years
earlier.
Along
the
way,
she
convinced
the
federal
judiciary
that
the
Department
of
Justice
could
not
be
trusted
and
created
a
staggering
staffing
problem.
One
hell
of
an
accomplishment.
On
the
other
side
of
the
bracket
is
the
last
standing
of
Trump’s
Killer
Bs.
Bondi,
Blanche,
and
Bove
rolled
into
the
Justice
Department
and
destroyed
a
couple
centuries
worth
of
credibility.
Blanche
will
take
over
for
Bondi
in
the
short-term,
but
even
his
personal
efforts
to
run
interference
for
Jeffrey
Epstein
and
publicly
attack
the
rule
of
law
did
not
prove
sufficient
to
give
him
the
inside
track
to
the
top
job.
Blanche
recently
confessed
that
senior
Trump
administration
officials
expect
to
be
indicted
after
the
next
election.
Most
people
would
take
that
fear
and,
you
know,
stop
committing
acts
that
would
get
them
indicted.
Blanche,
however,
is
willing
to
put
his
foot
on
the
gas.
Which
is
a
commitment
since
this
administration
is
driving
oil
to
$200
a
barrel!
So
the
final
matchup
is
Bondi
v.
Blanche.
