Newly confirmed Attorney General Pam Bondi is hitting the ground running, letting everybody in this country know she’s ready to get to work with a blazing set of day 1 directives. Guys, it’s happening. The Justice Department is finally about to get a much needed enema thanks to Bondi and other appointees from the Trump administration. This is going to be so awesome to watch.
During her first day on the job, Bondi issued directives to combat the weaponization of the legal system, force prosecutors to seek out the use of the death penalty when it’s appropriate, and to work closely with the Department of Homeland Security to “completely eliminate” cartels and other kinds of transnational criminal organizations. Cartels are going to learn real quick that you don’t mess around with the US of A. And they’ve had free reign to do just that for the last four years.
As Bob Dylan once sang, “The times, they are a-changin'” and it’s not looking good for criminals across the country.

Bondi issued a directive regarding “zealous advocacy.” Bondi said DOJ attorneys’ responsibilities include “aggressively enforcing criminal laws passed by Congress, but also vigorously defending presidential policies and actions on behalf of the United States against legal challenges.”
“The discretion afforded Justice Department attorneys with respect to those responsibilities does not include latitude to substitute their personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election,” the memo goes on to say.
“When Justice Department attorneys refuse to faithfully carry out their role by, for example, refusing to advance good-faith arguments or declining to sign briefs, it undermines the constitutional order and deprives the President of the benefit of his lawyers,” the memo adds.
Bondi, in the memo, states that “any Justice Department attorney who declines to sign a brief, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the Trump administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the Justice Department’s mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination.” Bondi is set to establish the “Weaponization Working Group,” which will review the activities of all law enforcement agencies over the past four years to identify instances of “politicized justice.”
The first reviews for the working group include prosecutions against President Trump that were brought against him by former Special Counsel Jack Smith, along with those led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
In what should be looked at as excellent news for Catholic Americans, the working group will also be looking into the targeting by the Biden Justice Department which labeled them as potential domestic terrorists, along with parents who attended school board meetings and abuses of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. Bondi and her group will also take a deep dive into potential prosecutorial abuse for those involved in the Jan. 6, 2021 incident.
Meanwhile, Bondi also will end the moratorium on federal executions and order that federal prosecutors at the Department of Justice, including U.S. attorneys’ offices, seek the death penalty when appropriate — specifically with a focus on violent drug trafficking crimes. Bondi also ordered that the Justice Department “re-evaluate instances of the prior administration electing not to seek the death penalty.” Bondi also is expected to rescind any DOJ policies that are “not sufficiently in line with President Trump’s death penalty executive order.”
Bondi stated she’s also directing the DOJ to get justice for the families of the victims of the 37 murderers who had their death sentences commuted by President Joe Biden at the tail end of his presidency. It’s good to hear this, as what Biden did is a miscarriage of justice. True justice is restorative. You cannot restore a life that is taken. Thus, murder should be punished by the death penalty. End of story.
“Bondi plans to re-imagine charging priorities relating to those cases in order to ensure that law enforcement resources are focused on dismantling the foundational operational capacity of cartels, as opposed to just picking off low-level offenders,” Fox News reported. “Here, the Justice Department is expected to temporarily suspend some ‘bureaucratic approvals and reviews’ in order to prioritize speedy prosecutions and captures of those accused of severe offenses like capital crimes, terrorism or aiding the operations of cartels.”
Bondi is also bolstering Joint Task Force Vulcan, which was originally established to take down MS-13, and Joint Task Force Alpha, which was created to fight against human trafficking, stating both of these would be elevated to the Office of the Attorney General. The groups’ missions are going to expand and Vulcan will be given a new focus on obliterating Tren de Aragua, a vicious gang from Venezuela that has been designated a foreign terrorist organization.
