“They can ask all the right questions, but they will get as Pam Bondi said, 'Of course I will obey the rule of law. Of course I will maintain the independence.' And there's no consequences for that being a lie. So it doesn't matter if they ask the right questions.”

Synopsis
Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi — reportedly over her handling of the Epstein files — but the Sisters in Law argue the real story is that she failed to transform DOJ into Trump's personal vengeance machine, unable to jail his political enemies when courts and grand juries refused to cooperate. Her tenure leaves behind a hollowed-out Justice Department: career prosecutors purged, entire units eliminated, and the department's credibility in court shattered by repeated documented lies. Acting AG Todd Blanche, who signed off on everything as Deputy AG, is no improvement — and potential replacement Lee Zeldin shows the same "Stepford cabinet" refusal to confirm basic electoral facts. For any professional tracking institutional erosion, this episode delivers a sharp, insider-level breakdown of exactly what's been dismantled at DOJ, why it matters, and why no confirmation hearing is likely to fix it.
