BREAKING: Donald Trump's crooked Attorney General Pam Bondi gets rocked with bad news as a formal complaint is filed with the Florida Bar accusing her of "serious professional misconduct" in her current job.
And it gets even better...
Roughly 70 law professors, attorneys, and former Florida Supreme Court justices Barbara J. Pariente and Peggy A. Quince have banded together to file the ethics complaint in question.
In it, they accuse the nakedly partisan MAGA AG of violating her ethical duties and engaging in "serious professional misconduct that threatens the rule of law and the administration of justice."
It alleges that she has "sought to compel Department of Justice lawyers to violate their ethical obligations under the guise of ‘zealous advocacy’" that was made clear in a February memo she sent to everyone in the Justice Department on her first day on the job.
They cite specific instances where Bondi and her equally corrupt senior team "ordered Department lawyers to do things those lawyers were ethically forbidden from doing, under threat of suspension or termination—or fired them for not having done so."
The complaint accuses Bondi of threatening DOJ attorneys with termination unless they chose to "to zealously pursue the President’s political objectives."
According to the complaint, Bondi has not only violated longstanding norms that ensure the nonpartisan nature of the Justice Department but also run afoul of the Florida Bar's conduct rules.
The group drew attention to the Florida Bar's refusal to pursue two prior ethics complaints against Bondi, stating that the "the Florida Bar’s dismissal is unsupported by history or precedent" because its policy of not investigating/prosecuting "sitting officers appointed under the U.S. Constitution while they are in office" does not shield a Florida-licensed lawyer if they've been accused of abusing a federal position of power.
When she was testifying at her confirmation hearing, Bondi claimed that the alleged "weaponization" of the Justice Department would end under her leadership. Sticking to the fascist playbook, she accused Democrats of doing what she herself intended on doing.
Under Bondi, the Justice Department has become a partisan attack dog for the far-right MAGA agenda. She isn't interested in upholding the rule of law or defending our democracy. All she cares about is abusing her power to further ingratiate herself with Trump and advance her own career.
This woman should be removed from her position, disbarred, investigated, and prosecuted.
