Thousands of federal workers have left the Department of Justice and resources have been reallocated to align with Trump’s agenda, under Pam Bondi’s leadership

Bondi’s defensive and combative attitude during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday, in which she repeatedly refused to answer Democrats’ questions, has left many concerned about the future of the department.

Under Bondi’s leadership, more than 4,500 Justice Department employees have left, task forces dedicated to probing criminal activity have been disbanded, resources have been re-allocated to support Trump’s targeting of political opponents and more.

But when questioned about her actions, such as closing a probe into Trump’s border czar Tom Homan and the forced resignation of a U.S. attorney in Virginia for refusing to indict Trump’s longtime opponent James Comey, Bondi refused to explain.

    Independent corruption probes that result in life in prison for every R and oligarch. Set the precedent that the president and billionaires will be imprisoned for their crimes. Same for all of ICE.

    The cancer must be removed, otherwise it’s terminal.

      for every R and oligarch

      Not enough , and would long-term result in more issues than it solved.

      We can’t ignore the remaining neoliberal corruption, or Republicans will keep winning elections.

      There is zero logical reason to rebuild our neighbor’s destroyed house when ours is on fire but still standing and salvageable.

      We get our shit in order, Republicans won’t be able to win elections or fuck shit up.

      Their party will die, or they’ll come back to center.
