"There’s always a temptation to celebrate when Trump does something sensible, like firing his Attorney General, Pam Bondi — until you ask yourself why he’s done it.

Not since John Mitchell, who was Richard Nixon’s Attorney General, has anyone done more to tarnish that office and damage the Justice Department than has Bondi."

Bye-Bye Bondi

Don't cheer.

Robert Reich

"But Trump didn’t fire her because she turned Justice Department into a cesspool of corruption. Just the opposite. He fired her because she didn’t hide the corruption well enough."

"In the end, what doomed Bondi is the basic reality that for Trump, the law is nothing more than a tool for destroying his rivals, protecting his wealth, and keeping him out of prison. People who use the law to do those things are useful to him; people who do not do so to his satisfaction are not."

Pam Bondi Was Bad. Trump’s Next Attorney General Will Be Worse

Trump gets rid of Cabinet members for one reason: He’s decided that his interests would be better served by an even more obedient loyalist.

Balls & Strikes

"All of Bondi’s stunts were attempts to please an audience of one, and it worked until the moment he decided that he’d seen enough, and that his interests would be better served by someone who is even louder, more shameless, and more obedient."
