I imagine Trump is one of those people who wants it, so I can guess that Bondi is going to be his instrument of righteousness. No one feels this more acutely than the Democrats. 

That's not to say I think Trump will encourage Bondi to corrupt herself and her office in order to bring Democrats to their knees, but I'm pretty sure Bondi won't have to go that far. There's a laundry list of things Democrats did that are worth investigating, and I have a feeling Bondi will be spoiled for choice in terms of threads she can start pulling on. 

Democrats certainly exhibited certain concerns about which threads. Adam Schiff, for instance, seemed very concerned that Bondi was going to open up on Jack Smith. Nancy Mace, like many who watched, wondered aloud by Schiff was so concerned about this.

As my friend and colleague Susie Moore reported on Wednesday, Sheldon Whitehouse also seemed to focus on how Bondi would conduct herself in the position of attorney general, which sounds suspiciously like how Garland did things, which Bondi was absolutely ready to bring up: 

WHITEHOUSE: It would not be appropriate for a prosecutor to start with a name and look for a crime; it's a prosecutor's job to start with a crime and look for a name, correct?

BONDI: Senator, I think that is the whole problem with the weaponization that we have seen the last four years and what's been happening to Donald Trump. They targeted Donald Trump — they went after him, actually starting in 2016. They targeted his campaign; they've launched countless investigations against him — that will not be the case if I am attorney general. I will not politicize that office. I will not target people simply because of their political affiliation. Justice will be administered even-handedly throughout this country. Senator, we've gotta bring this country back together, we've got to move forward, or we're gonna lose our country.

Bondi is a terrifying woman if you're a Democrat, and just how scared of her Democrats are more than came through in their questioning of her. They would hardly ever let her speak. When she started giving answers they didn't like, or when she'd checkmate them, they'd either talk over her or immediately move on. 

You only do that when you have an unmitigated contempt for the person you're engaging with, and I'm pretty sure that this contempt stems from their fear of Bondi. They are terrified that she will do to them what they did to Trump, to Republicans, and to us. 

Their strategy isn't necessarily to stop her confirmation — which is more than likely going to happen — it's to set up narratives that make Bondi seem like she's abusing her position in order to weaponize the justice system against Democrats. Yes, this is exactly what the Democrats did during Biden's administration, but they're still hoping they can sell this narrative in an age where the legacy media has lost a great deal of its power. 

If they can get social media clips circulating of them warning Bondi against doing such a thing, and admonishing her for Trump even thinking about doing it, then when a Democrat is inevitably caught up in something they can appear on networks with a "see, I told you she was corrupt" and a "Trump is everything we warned everyone about" for good measure. 

But this isn't going to stop Bondi. I believe she will do exactly as she says and not use her position to attack Democrats just because they're Democrats... she will attack Democrats because they broke the law. 

So if they did nothing wrong, then Democrat politicians have nothing to worry about. She will maintain the honor of her position... but if you did break the law, then don't be surprised to have a one on one meeting with justice as arranged by Pam Bondi.
