    Bondi, Patel, Hegseth, Trump… Hell’s Bells… The whole administration is worthy of being tossed.

    Release the Epstein files so we can see more… regardless of political affiliation.

  2. Trump is going to pardon all of those people no matter what. Even if he is angry with Bondi and Miller come 2028, they are still going to receive full pardons (probably much more comprehensive than people think too, as in pardons for all federal crimes committed prior to noon on January 20, 2029, which would cover any crimes committed unrelated to their jobs too).

    The only wrinkle here is that the U.S. Constitution explicitly says that parties impeached and convicted are still liable for their criminal acts under the law. Art. I, s.3., c.7. Trump will never be impeached and convicted by the Senate, but Bondi might be. That depends on the 2026 midterms and how the Senate shakes out, but if the GOP wanted to cut Bondi and Noem loose and blame them for the unpopular brown shirts in the streets, that *could* happen. And the pardon power is expressly limited in cases of impeachment too. Art. II, s.2. That clause has always been assumed to mean that the president cannot pardon an impeachment action, but it does not have to be read that way – the other reading is that the pardon power does not apply to those crimes for which a person has been impeached („he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.“). Maybe Trump cannot pardon those offenses for which a person is impeached? We don’t know because it has not been tried, but it may be tried now (and note that the Constitution says „Cases of Impeachment“, not „Cases of Conviction after being Impeached“ – that could be read to mean the POTUS cannot pardon anyone „impeached“, and impeachment occurs by a simple majority vote of the House, even if the party is not subsequently convicted and removed or forbidden from holding further office).

    As long as she is there to absorb some blame and scorn she wont go anywhere. As per usual, when things fall apart Trump needs scapegoats and fall guys to take his consequences for him and these patsies are doing exactly that
