President Donald Trump said Thursday that Pam Bondi is out as his attorney general, ending the contentious tenure of a loyalist who upended the Justice Department’s culture of independence from the White House, oversaw large-scale firings of career employees and moved aggressively to investigate the Republican president’s perceived enemies.

The departure followed months of scrutiny over the Justice Department’s handling of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation and failed efforts to meet Trump’s unwavering demands for criminal cases against his adversaries. As Trump’s own frustrations mounted, he began privately discussing firing Bondi, people familiar with the matter say.

ETA: This happens to happen on the 1 month aniversary that the DOJ primed 11 more datasets on their server. The folders are there, but they are empty. There are digitally forensically verifiably 11 datasets that have been withheld for a month now.

Not to mention she was sacked right before her sworn testimonial before the HOC. This is where the fired/resigned question becomes interesting. Typically when you have an opportunity in the private sector, you resign. It looks like she got Trump to fire her to me.

    It’s astonishing how these sycophants are delusional enough to think that they are so special that they will achieve lasting and continued success by licking the boots of the traitorous buffoon who literally betrays every single person who gives him the loyalty he demands.

      Oh there’s plenty of continued success as a consultant on one of the various fascist-backing TV channels.
