Breaking: Multiple Reports That Trump Has Told Pam Bondi That Her Time as AG Is Coming to an End

Update: She's been fired now?

Trump posted that Todd Blanche will be acting AG.
Posted by: Duke Lowell

The claim is that he is pre-firing her, I guess. Telling her to prepare her resume and make up a reason why she is voluntarily leaving the job.

Is this true? No idea, of course.

Poltiico:

Bondi on the brink?
By JACK BLANCHARD with DASHA BURNS

...
WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT: Dasha last night confirmed those buzzy NYT and CNN scoops that Pam Bondi will likely soon be OUT as attorney general.
Bondi beached: A person close to the White House tells Dasha that when Trump met EPA boss Lee Zeldin on Tuesday to discuss last year's California wildfires, Trump also discussed the potential of tapping him for the AG role. (CNN and the NYT last night both named Zeldin as the most likely successor.) A second person familiar with the situation tells Dasha that Bondi will be out imminently.
Epstein strikes again: Rumors of Bondi's departure are hardly new, but it seems the mood has shifted against her in recent days. The AG has been under pressure since last summer over her ill-fated handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files inquiry, with even close ally Susie Wiles admitting Bondi "completely whiffed" her response. Trump has also long been frustrated over the DOJ's failure to successfully prosecute his enemies, and readers will no doubt recall the infamous "Pam" message that Trump accidentally posted onto social media last year.
Zeld-IN? By contrast, Trump has repeatedly showered praise on Zeldin for his work at the EPA. Zeldin worked as a New York attorney in his 20s, and as a House representative during the first Trump administration became known for his hawkish support of Trump's various legal battles and pursuits.
Non-denial denial: A statement issued to CNN and the NYT shows Trump voicing personal support for Bondi. "Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job," the president said, which is hardly a guarantee of her future status. Bondi accompanied Trump to the Supreme Court yesterday morning and was in the audience for his address to the nation last night. Zeldin was also there.

The New York Post:

President Trump told Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday that she would be out as head of the Department of Justice, a source with knowledge of the conversation told The Post on Thursday.
Bondi was at the White House to attend Trump's address to the nation on the Iran war, and earlier had accompanied the president to the Supreme Court to watch oral arguments in a major birthright citizenship case.
Fox News said Trump will replace Bondi with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as the interim attorney general.
Trump is expected to soon make a formal announcement.
The White House did not directly address the report, but pointed The Post to a quote from the president praising Bondi.

So Fox is confirming it.

Unexpected, at least to me.

Update: Sorry to push unvetted info, but a commenter posted this and I'm going to repeat it even while declaring "I don't know if this is anywhere close to true."

Trump's reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI's efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.

I'm still trying to figure out where this comes from.

A person familiar with the situation tells me that Pam Bondi will be out as AG imminently, confirming scoops from @CNN and @nytimes.

Update to last post: At an Easter event, Trump told Erika Kirk that she should "sue their asses," speaking about her professional defamers like low-IQ schizophrenic DEI podcaster Candace Owens.

Owens says that the only reason Erika Kirk would have to sue her would be that she is "making fun" of her "best friend's" grieving widow, and then says this proves that the "Israelis are in charge" and that Trump is now fully Jewish.

This retard is going to get destroyed in the Macron lawsuit and she’ll get destroyed in an Erika lawsuit.

If you think she’s like some kind of genius, you’re wrong. She’s a malicious halfwit. Everything she says is wrong, and if you believe her, you are a sucker. https://t.co/wCLKL0Qih6

This is the woman the site's current Nazi Troll tells me I have to align with Because Reasons.

The Nazis defend her because she routinely says things like "the Israelis are totally in charge now" and "Trump is now fully Jewish." But when you object to Candace Owens telling lie after defamatory lie about a grieving widow who appears to be a nice normie mom, they always say the same thing: You're only against her defaming a grieving widow in the most evil and demonic way possible because you're obsessed with Israel.

No, Nazis. I condemn someone for telling countless vicious lies about a grieving widow -- and suggesting that her wheelchair-bound dying mother is faking for money and sympathy -- because these are inherently, on-their-face evil actions that any right-thinking moral person should condemn uniquivocally.

You, on the other hand, refuse to condemn these lies, because YOU are obsessed with Israel. You have too few prominent Nazi agitators to cut one loose just because she's been on a deranged campaign for almost a year to put Erika Kirk through her own conspiracy-theory Calvary. We don't condemn Candace Owens' breathtakingly evil defamations "because of Jews" -- but you sure as shit embrace this evil because of Jews.

So fuck you and also Kill Yourselves, please and thank you.

3 The good thing about reposting a wall of text is you can add paragraph spacers:

Bondi was friends with Ben Crump and helped sink the country into racial despair for Little Trayvon. Bad on guns too.

Not sure what part she played in the Epstein Op that was intended to overshadow Trump's Third Term and take him down for good.

A real useless waste of space and that's the charitable read. If she's gone good riddance but I'm not sure she's gone.

12 I find it more interesting that the source was this "Attorney General Pam Bondi has been fired, a senior administration official and a source familiar with the matter told NBC News."

Sounds like if she is fired (and I still doubt on a single source), then a 2nd person will be quickly following her out the door for the leak...

This is probably hitting close to home for Trump - remember he was arguing for libel reform a while back.

He is generally right, but how you would actually encode this in law to be more restrictive of outright lying about public figures without giving a Dem administration another tool to arrest dissidents would be hard to do.

15 In truth I don’t give a damn about Bondi, but IF she is indeed fired I would have waited until mid November. It just supplies fodder for the Left and also limits any other personnel moves Trump might need to make in the near future. Our side is treading very close to the “ complete disarray” attack that the Dems would love to make. Hell, they might use that anyway

54 hmm...spicy today !

re: bondi, i'm rather surprised it took so long to replace her. she's been an extremely weak link since day 1, and her incomprehensibly clumsy handling of the epstein documentary rollout caused permanent damage to trump's electoral coalition that never has been nor can be ameliorated. while i don't really care that much about trump's coalition, her oversight, such as it was, of the attempted lawfare-vengeance prosecutions of e.g. letitia james succeeded at nothing more than making a martyr of some of the most reprehensible legal officers in the country.

the woman is a empty-bleached-headed amateur and should never have been elevated to her position, much less tolerated for so long.

to tie her foibles in to the spice, the epstein debacle unquestionably provided prefidious fifth-column types with ample ammunition for their divisive conspiracy mongering.

I have no other knowledge of her other than that. I don't think she is incompetent but maybe just not ready for prime time. She was kinda hot in college, tho.

More to the point the media and general population can only focus on one thing at a time. Trump knows how to move a needle and make the media play a tune.

At worst it dilutes Iran as the Only Story In The Room as it now moves to a phase of wrapping up in our favor anyway. This will let "Iran" reset in a new narrative frame of Trump's choosing.

None of it matters. You could resurrect Daniel Webster and make him AG. Wouldn't make a lick of difference. He may have beat Satan, but he wouldn't beat the DoJ or the federal judiciary - they run this country, not the other way around.

It's why I haven't gotten worked up about her, and won't about her successor. Trump should just leave it vacant. For him, an AG is about as useful as naming a Secretary of Windmill-Tilting.

Trump's reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI�s efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.
I'm still trying to figure out where this comes from.

78 I'm guessing Bondi's handling of the Epstein files, particularly the ridiculous way she came out a few days after being confirmed with show and tell on the files and then did nothing for months, allowing the Dems to create this stupid myth that Trump is a pedo and is blocking the files release all last fall and winter because he is in it earned her many demerits in Trump's world. Additionally, she has the DOJ moving at a snail's pace on Trump's goal of charging people who attempted to send him to prison. Trumps had enough incompetent lawyers that having one at the top of his DOJ is not in his interest.

85 Yep...

"Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900.'

'We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.'

Trump said that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as acting attorney general until a permanent nominee is picked. "

108 I saw Cleopatra Jones last night. They remastered it onto blu-ray. While it's considered a "blaxploitation" flick, it's quite tame by standards of the genre. Mostly comic violence, very little blood or gore, and no sex or nudity -- in fact, the heroine barely shows any skin at all, not even arms or legs.

It's not bad, but if you're gonna go exploitation, don't ya go exploitation? Cleo herself is stunning to behold, a statuesque Amazon dressed in the finest wardrobe this side of fashion week in Milan. Piper could do a whole post on her fashion. She changes outfits and hairstyles more than she does any actual police work.

Bonus: Shelley Winters (!) as a violent, lecherous lesbian drug lord who spends more time beating up on her henchmen than she does the good guys.

Leaks to the NYT primarily come from the CIA and other Deep State Traitors:

"According to Victor Marchetti, a former special assistant to the deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a limited hangout is 'spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting—sometimes even volunteering—some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further'."

But she was vouched for over and over by "trusted true cons". And it certainly wasn't easy to suggest anything negative about her when the appointment was in progress.

That was my call even before the election. DeSantis wants to be President, let's see if he's Rubio or Mattis when given the opportunity.

I'd guess that he'd refuse because he knows the AG can't accomplish much under Trump and it'd make him look bad.

255 DOJ is theater anyway.

It's not who they have fighting, or how hard and smart they fight:
It's who they are fighting.

The judiciary.

And until they have someone willing to lie, cheat and steal to win, none of it matters.

Which is why Trump needs to stop with the defense of all these lawsuits and get his "Judge Roy Bean" to start firing off ever and ever more ridiculous injunctions.

Pre-empt them. Post-empt them. Up-empt them. Down-empt them.

Just get a retired judge and go whole hog.

Fuck the cartel judges--let 'em all fight each other: "No I'm in charge! No, I'm in charge! You're a bitch! No, you're a bitch!"

Never a more correct, accurate and essential post—it’s Trump’s ass, our ass, and the Constitutional USA that are on the line.
Senate ‘confirmation’ of a Judge Roy Bean type becomes irrelevant if Trump co-opts /brutalizes one of the RINO cucks keeping the Senate in pro forma session into dropping the pro forma charade ball and allowing a recess appointment of Trump’s AG.

IMHO, the hold-up is islam. It's almost impossible to deal with make a deal with people who believe that god's will is that the win or die trying.

So, a couple of things need to happen:

1) We arm Iranians who want the gov't members ended and dead. If if if we can find enough Iranians who will fight for themselves and their own country.

2) We need a figurehead that the Iranians people can get behind, right now all they have is an amorphous blob of "someone better". That figurehead is probably the Shah of Iran, assuming he's up to the job.

3) Not sure this would work but pit the Iranians nationalism, culture, and history against the invader colonialist moslems with Zoroastrianism if that's even still a thing. Probably not.

Ask yourself who wants that job AND is confirmable...and you'll find almost no one who will be better than who we had...as mentioned many times, Bondi was the best AG we had in 50 years b/c Rs NEVER have good AGs, and she was definitely in the decent category...she didn't DO anything against what we wanted (now, did she do ENOUGH for what we DID want - probably not...but that NEVER happens)...

She also oversaw the cleanout of the buried in zealots from numerous agencies below her...and did it with no lawsuits and losses...

324 Atlantic: Trump is a modern Hitler because...they both liked big architecture. (Yeah, I know, crazy that the fascist dictator/failed art student who burnt modern art liked classic architecture. Shocking, that.)

Hitler’s Edifice Complex - Timothy W. Ryback
He wanted it big. He wanted lots of gold, lots of marble. He wanted visitors awestruck by his architectural expansion of the country’s symbolic seat of power. “They should sense the strength and grandeur of the German Reich as they walk from the entrance to the reception hall,” Adolf Hitler told his chief architect, Albert Speer, outlining his plans for an extension to the old Reich chancellery...

The new annex, connected...by a marble corridor hung with crystal chandeliers, was part of Hitler’s ambitious plans to align the Berlin cityscape with his vision for the future of the country. Hitler wanted a Triumphbogen, a triumphal arch, twice the size of the Arc de Triomphe...He wanted an “Avenue of Splendor” for military parades. “The Champs-Élysées is a hundred meters wide,” Hitler told Speer. “We will make our avenue twenty meters wider.” A planned “Hall of the People” was to be topped by the largest swastika on Earth.

Islamic countries aligned with the US:
- Saudi Arabia
- Qatar
- UAE
- Jordan
- Oman
- Bahrain

Islamic countries allied with Iran:
- England
- France
- Spain
- Germany

SA, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain are probably a bit peeved with Iran right now, but the situation is fluid.

She wasn't loyal enough to actually fire anyone huge or jail anyone big enough to scare the dems into doing the people's work and not theirs.

Ham should know, since her husband died in a bike accident when her children were 2yrs old and one two months before birth. My own SIL had to deal with the sudden cardiac death of her husband (my dude's brother) when her boys were 4 and 3yrs old. It is hell on earth, and like MK Ham says, no one should have to go through this depth of grief. And certainly no one should judge Kirk as Owens has. Made worse by her "platform" to trumpet her delusions.

Regarding Bondi: I don't know why she did or didn't do as people wanted her to. If she did, in fact, tip off SwallowingWell, I will not defend her at all. I did not think she was "in over her head" in the beginning, but I guess she was.

Except for Victor David Hanson, all the other "conservatives" at National Review fell like dominos to go NeverTrump when Trump ran. I like to think that Buckley was too smart to do that, and would have kept them in line. But I also think his ego would tell him he's better than Trump, so a man like that becoming president might have galled him enough to go NeverTrumper too. Who knows.

And somehow the DOJ can't argue effectively that Sanctuary City policies and statements, breaks the aiding and abetting law.... so Judges keep throwing the DOJ lawsuits against cities and states out.

You don't invite 40 countries if you want to get something done. Probably the Swiss and Chad could have stayed home for a naval operation.

473 Christopher Taylor, just what is the US Attorney General's job?

As the chief of the DOJ, she's the one that makes sure that they get stuff done, directs them to take actions, and coordinates the FBI etc in their investigations and the cases they pursue.

Which, from all I can see, is not a whole hell of a lot in the past year.

476 The idea that you can get a Grand Jury to indict a ham samich, does not seem to apply with the Bondi DOJ.

Do you really believe that a holdover attorney, who hasn't been replaced because the Senate won't confirm their replacement, can get a blue city grand jury to indict a Democrat? Or that, when they fail to do that, it's the AG's fault?

And somehow the DOJ can't argue effectively that Sanctuary City policies and statements, breaks the aiding and abetting law.... so Judges keep throwing the DOJ lawsuits against cities and states out.

Do you really believe that judges have been throwing out DOJ suits because they aren't arguing effectively, as opposed to the judges being on team blue?

488 The Three Specific Emails (JPMorgan/Epstein Context)

The "Birthday Book" Outreach (2011): The email outlines how the bank could use Epstein's personal relationships with these men to secure them as "Ultra High Net Worth" (UHNW) clients.

The Problem for Dimon: This contradicts his 2023 testimony that he was unaware of Epstein's activities. Investigators argue that "the top floor" of the bank was actively profiting from Epstein’s "black book" long after his 2008 conviction.

The "Wall of Cash" Email (2013):
An internal JPMorgan email discussing Epstein as a "top-tier referral source" for the bank's "Wall of Cash" program. The email allegedly notes that Epstein was a primary bridge to international dignitaries and intelligence-linked figures, specifically mentioning that "compliance concerns" regarding his past conviction should be managed to keep the pipeline open.

491
The Intelligence Link: This is where John Brennan’s name frequently surfaces in the 2026 inquiry.
and #3
The "Moscow/Russian" Date Email (2010):
An email from Epstein to a high-ranking contact (recently linked to the broader "Clinton network" in the files) regarding a meeting with a "clever, beautiful, trustworthy" Russian woman.

The Significance: This email is being used by the Trump DOJ to prove that Epstein was acting as a "broker" for foreign assets. If Brennan or Dimon knew Epstein was facilitating meetings between US elites and foreign nationals, their "doing nothing" moves from negligence to a national security failure.

On what side?

Saudis had been playing army in Yemen for a while, but there is a whole desert between that front and anything important. Not seeing it as a factor.

Qatar is sitting there on its little peninsula and is pretty vulnerable if they get too sporty. The smart move would be to grab any Iran money and play good teammate.

Nobody in the area liked Iran, they just feared them. If we abandoned the anti IGRC war they might revert to that, or bomb them themselves.
Posted by: Oldcat

Defining "countries" hides a bit of nuance - the Sunni/Shia split.
Iran is majority Shia, and is the only Islamic country which is. Iraq has a large number of Shia, but is still majority Sunni. The first civil.war within Islam traces back to that split.
Trying to see which countries would ally with the US papers over that difference, and doesn't indicate much in the longer term.
With the exception of the Saudis, who view Iran as an existential threat to their claim of the leadership of the Muslim world, the remainder of those countries will ally with the US only on a temporary basis, and therefore cannot be counted on for much beyond press releases. But... when the kinetic part is over and we pull most of our forces out of the way, they will turn on Iran visciously.
