EmptyWheel, as ever — is well-ahead of the MAGA forces… on how to make the worst nominees show their true colors, when/if they reach any Senate confirmation hearing (around mid-2025).

As to purported US AG, Pam Bondi — I love all of this:

…“Because Trump didn’t properly vet his pardons the first time around, at least seven of them quickly returned to crime, with many of them beating their spouses. How will you ensure that Trump’s bypassing of normal pardon protocol don’t put violent men back on the streets?” You can pick some of the January 6ers — like hardened criminal Shane Jenkins, who almost had a fundraiser at Bedminster, or NeoNazi Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, who did — to ask Bondi how coddling such criminals is consistent with the law-and-order promises she makes….

I realize that about two-thirds of the MAGA legislators won’t even understand her question (the words are too big — and too many, in a row!) — but the answers (dissembling, actually) will be … enlightening. For we do stipulate that Bondi (unlike many others) is very competent — and intelligent.

This one line of questioning will pin her, forever.

Excellent — onward.
