@heidilifeldman Do you ever get the feeling that Trump only knows like 12 people total?

[odaraia@mastodon.green]

@heidilifeldman do you think Bondi is preparing for defense of Trump? Or more Epstein files litigation?

[mastodonmigration@mastodon.online]

@heidilifeldman

The only solice is that he is quite experienced at losing every case.

@odaraia @heidilifeldman Bondi may be the 'woman who knew too much'.

@heidilifeldman trump is on record from his first regime saying he prefers the acting role because it allows him to dictate appointments without congressional review.

... I mean, to the extent that anything he says lines up with what he does

@heidilifeldman does this have any bearing on her presidential pardon?

@heidilifeldman

He did it! He found somebody EVEN WORSE!

=========
Mr. AG, Sir, FBI disarmed a man who shot up a kindergarten at Kelly AFB to protest Harry Potter books. The suspect's in custody and we're filing murder charges.

AG: Hold on! Did the Founding Fathers want to meddle in crimes? In Wales in 1569 a judge said killing a child of unknown loyalty was not... Are Air Force crews domiciled... Probably the Murder statute was talking about crows... Burr killed Hamilton, but no...

@heidilifeldman

yup.

we're falling so far
and there is no bottom

@heidilifeldman If he's an acting attorney general, shouldn't his office be in a theater?

From really really really bad to even worse…

[briankrebs@infosec.exchange]

@heidilifeldman the most corrupt everything all the time. your own personal lawyer as the AG are you freaking high? sure, no conflict there at all. every single attorney associated with this administration should be facing disbarment proceedings like yesterday.

@sfoskett @heidilifeldman I am waiting for him to appoint some caddie at one of his golf courses to a cabinet level position.

@heidilifeldman Has anyone check what DOW is at right now?

@heidilifeldman there are no good choices

@heidilifeldman Once this regime falls, reflection is needed on how to restructure the US Govt system to make it more robust against those who would seek to corrupt it. #absolutepowercorruptsabsolutely

[patrick@social.seattle.wa.us]

@heidilifeldman Any attorney that has served as Trump’s personal attorney should decline the AG job due to a conflict of interest under the ethics rules, UNLESS they could appoint an independent counsel for matters related to Trump. Such matters would include the entire Epstein affair. I am waiting for news of the appointment of an independent counsel, but not holding my breath.
