President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for attorney general, Pam Bondi, is a real firecracker who isn’t afraid to jump into a fight and deliver a serious verbal beat down. In that respect, it’s pretty clear why Trump picked her for the position. That’s exactly the kind of person who needs to be heading the Justice Department and cleaning out the deep state infection that has been destroying the country.
During Bondi’s confirmation hearing on Wednesday, the likely future AG turned the tables on a Democratic senator when he pressed her on the topic of the weaponization of the Justice Department. Of course, leftists don’t believe this has, is, or will happen. Liberals view it sort of like a conspiracy theory. However, anyone with a brain cell not on life support can see that the deep state has been using federal law enforcement to intimidate political opposition.
“It would not be appropriate for a prosecutor to start with a name and look for a crime. It’s a prosecutor’s job to start with a crime and look for a name, correct?” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island went on to ask Bondi during her appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee. In other words, Whitehouse wants to make sure that Bondi isn’t going to do the Democrats what was done to Republicans. What’s good for the goose is not, according to the left, good for the gander.
Bondi replied, “Senator, I think that is the whole problem with the weaponization we have seen the last four years, and what’s been happening to Donald Trump. They targeted Donald Trump. They went after him actually starting back in 2016.”

“They targeted his campaign,” she added. “They have launched countless investigations against him. That will not be the case if I am attorney general. I will not politicize that office. I will not target people simply because of their political affiliation. Justice will be administered evenhandedly throughout this country.”
Amen. That’s what most fair-minded Americans want because the same justice system that has been weaponized by the Democrats against Republicans could be turned right back on them. Democrat Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz explained during Trump’s first term the problem with weaponizing the DOJ after the agency appointed former FBI director Robert Mueller in May 2017 to investigate the new president’s campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 race.
At that time, Dershowitz spoke with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and said, “When Lavrentiy Beria met with [Soviet dictator Joseph] Stalin he said to Stalin, ‘Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.’ And that’s what my friends, my liberal Democrat friends are doing.”
“They’re falling all over themselves trying to find a statute that they can expand and they can apply only to Donald Trump, and then they’re going to try to bury the statute and put it back in its crypt,” he then added during the conversation.
“And what you do to Donald Trump today becomes a precedent and can be used against Democrats, independents or anybody in the future. That’s why all Americans who care about civil liberties, who care about constitutional rights ought to be very concerned about the investigation that’s being conducted and targeting Donald Trump,” Dershowitz finished.
We all witnessed the most egregious examples of warfare in 2024 when the DOJ, under the leadership of Merrick Garland through the tool that is special council Jack Smith. Smith carried out investigations to try and nail Trump for a crime that might land him in jail for a long. long time. And what, exactly, was the crime they were being accused of? Daring to question the official narrative about the 2020 presidential election.
Not only did the Biden DOJ try to put Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, in jail, the agency succeeded in imprisoning his former White House aides Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, simply because they would not cooperate with Nancy Pelosi’s politically driven, one-sided, sham of a January 6 investigation. Bondi’s pledge during her opening statement Wednesday should be music to the ears of every liberty- and justice-loving American.
