Bondi firing a reminder that even ultra-loyalists get dumped by Trump - Lemmy Myserv one

“Pam Bondi’s swift dismissal on Thursday underscores a reality that has met Trump loyalists from Jeff Sessions to Kristi Noem – no amount of loyalty is enough to save oneself from being dumped by Donald Trump. “Since the president assumed office last year, there have been few people more important to his effort to remake government than Bondi, his longtime friend.”

The Guardian knows that Bondi was scheduled to be deposed by a congressional committee in a week and half, and has written about it previously but somehow didn’t see that as important enough to mention in the article about her firing. It’s disappointing journalism not to pull at that thread further. I suspect it’s the actual motivation to fire her at this exact moment.
