Friends, today President Trump fired Pam Bondi, the U.S. Attorney General. Apparently he is strongly considering EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, a fellow New Yorker, as her replacement. First, allow me to state the obvious: if Pam Bondi was the wrong person to lead the DOJ, then ultimately her selection reflects badly on the man who chose her...whomever that may be. I really couldn't say. Second, from my perspective, the second term of DJT is looking a little more like his first term each and every day, and that isn't a compliment. Turnover is never a good thing. It shows indecisiveness and its begets chaos. Third, a lot of us New Yorkers think highly of Lee Zeldin, who came close to winning the governorship here, and it's hard to imagine, if we're to be honest, that he could do any worse than Pam Bondi has in holding the Dems' and leftists' feet to the fire, legally speaking. Literally no one on the Left has been convicted of anything under Pam Bondi, which is, well, kind of an opportunity area for her successor. So, while I am troubled by these developments, I'm also hopeful that ultimately the DOJ will perform better in the months and years ahead. To be clear, the goal is not to weaponize the justice system to persecute our opponents. The goal is to remind the Democrats that they too are subject to the law, which they could be forgiven for forgetting, since all of them have been treated like they have blanket immunity for any and all crimes under red and blue presidents alike. It's high time, in short, that our criminal justice system started to work for the American people, and not just for the left-leaning establishment. Those are my two cents.
