Pam Bondi: the most corrupt Attorney General of the USA ever_?

I think if she is identified as the most corrupt it is probably only because she is the most incompetent.

Oh dear, now Bondi is doubling down and appealing against it.

“We’ll be taking all available legal action, including an immediate APPEAL, to hold Letitia James and James Comey ACCOUNTABLE for their unlawful conduct.”

Doesn't she realise her boss is insane..?

I think she does realise this now.

But it's also obvious she also knows she is stuck on this clown-filled roller-coaster ride with Donny, and there's no way off until it ends........or the Trump-klown-kar comes off the rails with an almighty crash that ruins the lives of everybody on board, her included.

It should be noted that before Stubby McBonespurs became president, he was fighting lawsuits brought up by former students. Florida was investigating multiple complaints against Trump by residents of the state.

Trump later makes a political donation to then Florida AG Pam Bondi (using the Trump foundation, illegal because the foundation was not allowed to engage in politics). Shortly thereafter, Florida decides not to further investigate the complaints against Trump university.

Througout his career, one of Donnie's tactics had been to threaten lawsuits against his competitors, as a pure nusiance tactic.

Jail or worse. We've seen how little this administration actually believes in due process of laws. Under statutes such as the USA PATRIOT Act, the executive has emergency power to abate terrorism with military force. The Global War on Terror has no definite end, meaning that worldwide counter-terrorism efforts continue as a military operation with ongoing Congressional approval. While previous administrations tried to show that terrorists could be effectively fought using the judiciary and criminal codes, that really never developed a suitable foothold.

Now consider that the Trump regime is deploying combat troops to cities in the U.S. known to be populated and led by Democrats. And now that practically anyone who opposes the regime's policies can be labeled "Antifa terrorists," you can see where this might be heading. The Trump regime is trying to provoke a violent conflict and thereby justify a more hardline approach to law enforcement. And so far, the Supreme Court is letting him. When they write the book on the death of democracy in the United States, I'm sure they will name Chief Justice John Roberts as its most enthusiastic gravedigger. And Pam Bondi is handing him the shovel.


And now MAGA is consolidating media influence. Larry Ellison now owns TikTok and Paramount Global (including CBS). He is poised to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery, which owns CNN. Elon Musk owns Twitter. Sinclair Media still owns a surprising share of local TV stations and FCC Chair Brendan Carr may allow greater ownership percentages for large media companies.

So it might come to The Appeal to Arms after all if the situation is as dire as you say.

Pam Bondi is irrepressible.

Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States. They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts. On behalf of the entire U.S. DOJ, I would like to thank President Trump for having the courage to demand accountability on behalf of the American People, and a huge thank you to our brave military who conducted the incredible and highly successful mission to capture these two alleged international narco traffickers.

I didn't know the US had jurisdiction in Venezuela. Come on Pam, release the Epstein files, as ordered.
 
I thought "narco-terrorism" was just a slogan.

Is there any real law someone can be charged under which defines and uses that term? Or is this just some dumbed-down "doing bad stuff" version of what Maduro might actually be charged with?
 
Some of the allegations in the indictment are made pursuant to a theory of jurisdiction that identifies the victims of the alleged actions as U.S. citizens or officials. This would include such crimes as acts of war, acts of terrorism, or attempts to corruptly influence U.S. official acts. If someone in, say, France tries to bribe a U.S. official, that person may be indicted under U.S. law. Getting that person to the United States to stand trial for it is another matter. Normally the diplomatic process of extradition applies, which is why Julian Assange was able to remain free for so long. The Trump regime is claiming that the victims of Maduro's alleged narco-terrorism conspiracy were U.S. citizens, which makes Maduro liable under U.S. law even if the acts in question were not committed in U.S. territory.

So let's say Donny gets mightily annoyed by what I call him, here on this forum. That's slander against a US citizen by a non-US citizen. Can he come for me?

Technically no, since defamation is a tort in U.S. law, not a crime. It must be privately prosecuted. However I appreciate the point you're trying to make. Previously, indictments in the U.S. against people currently outside U.S. jurisdiction have obeyed the law of nations and international law, and the sovereignty of other nations. Pres. Trump has indicated he will no longer respect the sovereignty of other countries, which may have disastrous consequences.

To save us the hypotheticals, here's the full text of the law under which Trump has accused Maduro: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/21/960a

In section (a) and the laws it refers to you can see what specific acts the U.S. believes foreigners can be held liable for, even if they occur outside the United States. One of them is a predictable wall of text alleging all manner of activity with harm against the U.S. or its citizens as its goal. In section (b) you can see why the U.S. believes it has personal jurisdiction over people who commit those acts, even if they commit them outside the United States.

Those provisions don't apply to every U.S. criminal law. The fact that they're outlined here in this section means their long-arm effect is limited to these specific acts. So no, you can't be dragged away from your sovereign home if you commit just any old act that happens to violate U.S. criminal law. Hence the one about owning a machine gun is especially stupid. It's generally against the law for a private citizen to own a machine gun in the United States, but trying to say someone else in another country can't possess one because it's against U.S. law is daft and unsupportable.

Thanks for going further down the track of what I intended to discuss.

I hope there is a competent lawyer with balls who can get this nonsense dismissed. Won't fix the situation, of course. But at least it won't provide legitimacy for the fascist in charge.
