Pam Bondi already fired as attorney general, Cabinet official teed up as replacement: sources

President Donald Trump reportedly has already fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to two sources familiar with the matter who spoke with Fox News Digital.

Bondi met with Trump in the Oval Office Wednesday night ahead of his speech to the nation on the war in Iran, where she reportedly was informed of her ouster, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

One of those sources said that by the time Trump took his place behind the podium for the address, Bondi already lost her job and was on her way back to Florida................

Good deal, I never trusted her and she proved why!

[Timber Rattler]

She should have never been made AG in the first place.  I bet Trump fired her because she hasn't gotten any indictments, convictions, or anything else on the Russian collusion and 2020 election fraud matters. 

And I bet Dan Bongino is enjoying serious schadenfreude today.

[libertybele]

Blondie was a waste of time. Blanche is moving up from deputy to acting AG for now.  Will Trump appoint him as AG and if so will the Senate give their approval??  I wonder if Trump has someone else in mind?

[Cyber Liberty]

I don't expect Blanche to do anything as Acting AG, that will be Zeldon's job.

Who is Lee Zeldin?

A close ally of President Donald Trump, Zeldin prominently defended Trump during his first impeachment hearings concerning the Trump–Ukraine scandal. Zeldin was the Republican nominee for Governor of New York in 2022. He defeated three challengers in the Republican primary, becoming the nominee of the Republican Party and the Conservative Party. Zeldin lost the election to incumbent governor Kathy Hochul while receiving the highest percentage of the vote for a Republican gubernatorial nominee since 2002 and the highest raw vote total for a Republican gubernatorial nominee since 1970. ......

n 2007, Zeldin became an attorney for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.[14] In 2008, he started a general-practice law firm in Smithtown, New York. He operated it full-time until he was elected to New York's 3rd State Senate district in 2010......

He was an attorney  in NY/NJ -- but in briefly reading his background, I don't think he has the abilities to become the U.S. AG.

Hello -- paging Senator Ted Cruz who's significantly more qualified!!

[massadvj]

Bondi always was a lightweight, as was Noen. But if anyone thinks the revolving door of Trump appointees was going to stop in the second term, think again. Chaos reigns supreme with this man.

It could be DOK's embarrassing case at the SCOTUS yesterday was the last straw. He is going to lose on birthright citizenship 7-2.

Trump cannot afford to poach good Senators.

[mystery-ak]

Mike Davis is my choice...

Mike Davis is an American lawyer, conservative political strategist, and lobbyist. He was Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and the founder and president of the Article III Project (A3P).[1]

He is a staunch defender and ally of Donald Trump and was rumored to be one of his candidates for Attorney General.[2] Davis has described himself as "the best fixer in Washington, period. Full stop."[3] Despite having little experience anti-trust law, Davis was an influential figure in getting controversial mergers approved by the second Donald Trump administration, and spoke frequently to Trump.[3]

Yes I agree with that but Trump also can't afford to have a incompetent AG and was more than patient with Blondi.  Cruz likely won't be under consideration anyways but as I've voiced many times, I always thought that Cruz's talents have been underutilized.

I think Cruz should go to the SCOTUS, we was a clerk for Rehnquist(1996) and he said that Scalia was the best judge on the court. I believe Cruz would walk in the foot steps of Scalia.

Quote:
Ted Cruz did not explicitly call Antonin Scalia the "best" judge on the court, but he repeatedly praised him as one of the greatest justices in history.  Cruz described Scalia as "one of the greatest Justices in history" and "a champion of our liberties and a stalwart defender of the Constitution" following his death in 2016.

Cruz emphasized Scalia’s transformative impact, stating he "fundamentally changed how courts interpret the Constitution" by championing originalism and textualism.  He also called Scalia "one of the few Justices who single-handedly changed the course of legal history" and referred to him as "an American hero."

Trump is trying to stop the chaos in this country.  Hopefully getting rid of Bondi and Noem is going to be a positive towards that goal.

Translation:  When Susie Wiles asked her to graciously resign like Noem had, Bondi said "NO!," and so Trump peremptorily fired her, and then she was dragged out of the Oval Office kicking and screaming.

Bondi is petty enough that she will start talking to the media soon, and making all kinds of noises against Trump, like MTG.  It's quite telling that Trump apparently did not offer her some consolation office like Noem---a special envoy to somewhere, or an ambassadorship to Greenland, or whatever.  He just mentioned that she's going back to "private practice."  Clearly a sign of hard feelings.

And Trump may just learn the meaning behind LBJ's old axiom that "It's probably better to have the son-of-a-bitch inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in," in that instance about J. Edgar Hoover.

Still, I'm glad she's gone.  Should been fired last summer during her blow-up with Bongino, in which she went to Trump directly to get his backing.

"She's intervening in those matters. The White House wasn't pleased she was intervening due to her personal friendship with Swalwell," a source told the Daily Mail.

Agree...  Cruz could certainly do the job, but he is more like an academic, instead of throw 'em to the slammer kind of guy.  Wish he'd take a SCOTUS gig, but another Briefer (forgot who) sent me a link, saying that Cruz would nix any kind of consideration.

EXCLUSIVE:

🚨 DOJ in crisis mode as the top 2 DOJ officials are now Democrats thanks to a lack of vetting and protection of a radical leftist by Deputy AG Todd Blanche🚨

With the firing of Pam Bondi @PamBondi
 as US Attorney General, the DOJ is now is a full blown crisis, a crisis I have predicted since Binder Gate and even before Binder Gate during the transition period when I reported that Stanley Woodward, a radical left Democrat was nominated as Associate Attorney General.

I have known for months that several months ago, the White House told Pam Bondi she could fire Stanley Woodward, who I predicted would be a nightmare for the administration given his deep ties to the radical left.

Woodward was not fired, and he has remained at the DOJ where he has continued to undermine all real progress, including his sabotage of settlement payouts for over one million veterans who were poisoned by contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

Multiple sources told me last month that on the day Bondi was going to fire Woodward for incompetence, Deputy AG Todd Blanche @DAGToddBlanche
 (who is a Democrat) stepped in to protect Stanley Woodward from being fired the same way he stepped in to prevent Woodward’s Senate Confirmation from being killed off when I ruthlessly exposed Woodward.

This means that the 2 top officials at DOJ right now are hardcore Democrats, which means we will never see President Trump’s accountability agenda enforced at the DOJ unless this changes immediately.

It’s imperative that a Democrat is not AG and that Stanley Woodward is FIRED!

Once again, I called this. It’s common sense and it’s now a full blown crisis.

Bondi and Blanche should have fired Woodward when the White House told them to.

We have Democrats running the Trump DOJ now that Bondi is out, and expect these Democrats to further stall all accountability as a way to harm the Trump administration.

When we lose the House and Senate in 2026, the only way we will be able to protect against weaponized government and witch hunt investigations is with a strong and competent DOJ.

FIRE STANLEY WOODWARD!!!!!
