Summary

Pam Bondi, Trump’s attorney general nominee, hinted at the existence of an “enemies list” during her confirmation hearing.

When questioned by Senators Hirono and Whitehouse, Bondi avoided disavowing the list or denying potential targeting of individuals like Jack Smith, Liz Cheney, and Merrick Garland.

She defended Trump’s FBI pick, Kash Patel, who previously alluded to such a list in his book, Government Gangsters.

Critics fear the Justice Department could be weaponized against political opponents under Bondi and Trump’s leadership.

    Haha, imagine being Merrick Garland, carrying Trump’s water for years, and still winding up on the enemy list. Jesus, he was such a miserable pick by Biden. Had Trump been prosecuted, no one would be in a position of power to execute that enemy list.

    Yeah, no fucking shit. They lie about everything. According to all these lying liars, including donvict himself, Project 2025 was not a thing, either.

    You can count on one thing - the qons are all lying liars.

      They’ll get good, expensive attorneys to defend themselves and they’ll believe until the last second that that will be enough.

    I won’t shed a tear for Garland. The others though… Not great regardless, but Garland should reap the harvest.

      Idk why you’re getting so many downvotes. If Garland didn’t pussyfoot around for 4 years we wouldn’t be in this mess.

        Especially considering the report literally says “we had enough to convict” (if we had more time we could have) but Garland decided to wait years to start out of fear of looking “political.”

        Well look where that got us. These chucklefucks don’t give a damn about looking political, they had their state propaganda outlets cry foul for years preemptively justifying “politically motivated” retaliation.

        If these people didn’t live in ivory towers completely segregated from actual reality, they’d know what Fox was up to.

    I don’t believe it’s helpful to be hyperbolic about these things or to come to conclusions supported only by speculation and innuendo. Let’s please be clear-eyed in how we handle the coming shit storm.

    Noted Trump sycophant Bondi did NOT “admit” there is an enemy list. That’s opinion on the part of TNR and it takes a certain amount of hand waving to get to “there is an enemy list”. She said “There will never be an enemies list within the Department of Justice”.

    I’m not saying there isn’t an enemy list - there is in Patel’s book after all - but this headline is at best deceptive.

      That is a rediculous bar. Don’t worry about it until we are sure there is a list even with all the references in the administration to reprisals and such. Imagine someone saying to not be hyperbolic about concentration camps until we know for sure they exist. I mean hitler hid that shit as best he could.

        Mmmhmm. Ok.

        But you assume I’m saying “don’t worry about it”. I’m clearly not. I’m saying don’t use click-bait headlines that are factually inaccurate so that we can worry about the RIGHT things. Ie that there almost certainly will be a list AND that Bondi will lie through her teeth to hide that fact. If we do this then we can better understand how to expose said list AND the lies.

          ok. I get that but unfortunately most headlines are just pants now.
