Elie Honig, CNN's Senior Legal Analyst, sharply criticized Pam Bondi's actions on her first day as Attorney General, particularly her directive to investigate former President Donald Trump's legal predicaments. Honig described Bondi's move as an overtly political endeavor, undermining the Department of Justice's integrity. He forecasted that the findings of this investigation would ultimately claim that Trump's prosecutions were politically motivated and improper. His comments reflected broader concerns about the intersection of politics and justice in high-profile prosecutions, especially concerning Trump, and he suggested the implications for morale within the DOJ could be negative.
The thing that jumped out to me today is essentially Pam Bondi's first act in office is to order an investigation of January 6th and the classified documents prosecution of Donald Trump.
If you're trying to restore DOJ's equilibrium and establish, this as a nonpolitical place, that is an overtly political quest.
Someday, six, eight, 10 months from now, we're gonna get a report and they're gonna say, Those prosecutions of Donald Trump were wildly corrupt and political and improper.
I do not think it's good for morale.
