Attorney General Pam Bondi is feeling the heat after Donald Trump’s revenge indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.

Insiders within the department have been speaking out after the DOJ announced on Thursday that Comey had been charged with obstructing a congressional investigation and making false statements. One source told MSNBC it was “among the worst abuses in DOJ history.”

“The Comey indictment is among the worst abuses in DOJ history,” sources told MSNBC Justice and Intelligence Correspondent Ken Dilanian. “Shocking,” the sources added. “It’s hard to overstate how big a moment this is.”

Comey has denied the allegations, posting on Instagram on Thursday, “My family and I have known for years there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump. But we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other ways. We will not live on our knees. And you shouldn’t either.”

The entire federal government has been mobilized for SeashellGate. It’s all hands on deck.

WTF happened to Blondi's nomination comment "we don't have an enemies list?"

4. In all honesty

The ONLY difference between the "inner circle" of female members in Trump's CABAL, and Crack Whores is:

There are things the Crack Whores won't do,............. for ANY amount of money.................

And all of them prove it every day........Bondi, Leavitt, Noem, Boebert, Gabbard, Lake, Loeffler, MTG, Mace, etc etc etc

5. Spam Blondi was using the imperial "we". She wasn't including Cash Patella's enemy's list.

3. Did they really explode or is this spin to placate the masses?

Shit, I've gotten seriously cynical.

6. And everyone in the USA knows the social cost of Comey's betrayal..

of Hillary Clinto, thus making it possible for Trump to win that
first election.


Sheesh

7. And how many of them are going to quit?

Call me a skeptic but I thing this is a nothingburger.

8. Oh sure, now you stand up to him...

…when you and your family are under personal attack. Why didn’t you stand up to him when it really mattered to the rest of us?

9. If DOJ staffers are really exploding, it's time for principled resignations.

When a law firm is violating the Rules of Professional Conduct as a matter of policy, any lawyer in that firm that does not resign is complicit.
