We cannot have someone like Pam Bondi who is uh previously her task seemingly as she set out for herself was to you know try to not do too much to cause uh heartburn to the other side who tried to jail President Trump. And the big news this week, among other major stories, is President Trump’s firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Uh it is in many ways not a surprise. It’s been reported he’s been unhappy with her performance for some time. And uh you know, Judicial Watch has been critical of the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files and or the mishandling of the Epstein files. Uh the lack of seeming uh effectiveness or even evidence of any serious investigation into the law affair targeting Trump. And uh there have been some good things that uh the attorney general has done. She’s had to oversee a justice department that had to go to court dozens if not hundreds of times to defend defend the president’s prerogatives under our constitution and frankly our democracy as the left has tried to shut down Trump initiative after Trump initiative in court. But in the end he lost the she lost the confidence that President Trump and uh many of his supporters and so it’s not a surprise that she was fired. And I think uh the issue should be now is not necessarily who should be the next attorney general but what the next attorney general should do. What should be the program? What should be the reform operation that he or she pursues. My concern is that currently or to date, in addition to the lack of prosecutions or seeming uh as I say, no evidence of serious broad criminal investigations in of a significant nature into the lawfare targeting Trump and many other innocents. Uh that the infrastructure of the Justice Department hasn’t been changed. All of those lawyers are largely there. Some have retired, many have left, some of them have left, but the operations of the agency are continuing as they have in as they have in the past. The budget still there. Same for the FBI. Now, are there people who’ve left and who may never come back? Sure. But that doesn’t change the deep state nature of the agency. The numbers are simply too great. And the number of political appointees at the Justice Department is really small. In the FBI, it’s a handful of employees. So, it’s really important that the Justice Department be constrained, as I say, defanged uh and uh its powers shattered and scattered as appropriate. So, what they did before can never be done again or at least easily be done again. I mean I mean that should at least be the standard. So the next attorney general should have a commitment to not only serious investigations and prosecutions but also I think even more importantly and I’ll tell you why uh just just changing the very nature of the Justice Department. We can’t have this agency that lords over all in terms of the operations of the federal government and it can be used at the beck and call of whatever nasty leftist inhabits the Oval Office uh to try to jail their political enemies. And in fact, that’s what they’re promising now. the left is they say if we come back into power we’re going to come after Trump his family corporations uh businesses his appointees uh members of it looks like members of Congress potentially again uh supporters or perceived allies on the outside I mean we’ve already Judicial Watch has already been targeted uh previously under the Biden uh regime why would we think that would not happen again or maybe even be worse after after this Trump term given the lack of reform at the Justice Department. Shuffling a few chairs around is not going to change it. And so I’ve suggested and I’ll tell you what I suggested. uh that uh they move to defang and as I say uh essentially uh really shrink the justice department down significantly and do I think the justice department should do criminal investigations of prosecutions in the least of the lawfare in the least. Do I think they’re capable of doing it? No. So, one thing the president can do is take that off their take that off the burner for them and recognize that the Justice Department can’t investigate the Justice Department abuse of President Trump and others. The FBI can’t investigate the FBI abuse of President Trump and others. So there should be an outside special counsel uh or lawyer, attorney, prosecutor who reports to the president of the United States, the chief magistrate under our constitutional system and conducts the investigations and prosecutions and leave the new attorney general, whoever that person may be. It may be Todd Blanch who’s acting attorney general. All sorts of other names have been um introduced as possibilities to do the reform to dismantle the deep state DOJ to dismantle the deep state FBI and all those politically sensitive investigations are being run into the White House. I just don’t see it getting done any other way. Now, the more likely result is that we’re going to get an attorney general who is confirmable, right? And it will just have the same old Justice Department with some prosecutions, maybe investigations on the margin that are useful and fruitful, but we’re still going to have that very dangerous agency in terms of our republic, largely fully staffed and ready to go the next time uh a president like Biden or Obama come in or Hillary. Hillary’s seemingly wanting to be president again. Do you want Hillary Clinton to have the same Justice Department, this size, this scope, with this power that Joe Biden had? I don’t. I don’t. This a sword of damocles hanging over our republic. What they did was to try to basically steal our republic from under our noses by trying to end the proc the presidency of Trump early and then jail him to prevent him from running again and frighten everyone else mainly his supporters by prosecuting them and threatening them and harassing them and making it nearly impossible uh for them uh to uh engage in first amendment protection. ed activity and get in the way of their governance model which is in my view uh turning America into a one party state. So there these are serious times and so uh and and and I highlighted it in a tweet what he should do. This is a pretty simple explanation of it. President Donald Trump should directly oversee investigation and prosecution of lawfare against him. his new AG pick should commit to doing to DOJ and the FBI what Linda McMahon is doing to the Department of Education to shatter and scatter their powers. And I uh one thing I did note, I was trying to provoke people just a little bit, but I noted here. Look at this little line. The attorney general doesn’t have to be a lawyer. Uh, now I’m not saying I should be attorney general, but I’m saying the president should consider other options than lawyers. You know, in this day and age, the attorney general, frankly, needs to be an administrator, someone who knows how large organizations are run, who can, you know, Linda McMahon is a uh was a successful or is a successful businesswoman, she knows how to run an organization, why not her? I mean, if the goal is to shutter the Justice Department in large measure and bring it back into the constitutional fold in a way that protects the republic. I don’t think you need a lawyer to do that. You can have a business leader. You can have a public policy activist, someone who’s familiar with the what’s going on in the deep state. there going to be plenty of lawyers to provide the necessary support for any of the legal roles and duties of an attorney general. But it’s that kind of outside the box thinking I think the president should pursue. Uh and uh there are many good now to be fair there are many good attorneys who could probably do what I’m asking them to do. But I tell you, we cannot have someone like Pam Bondi who is uh previously her task seemingly as she set out for herself was to, you know, try to not do too much to cause uh heartburn to the other side who tried to jail President Trump. I mean, there’s got to be accountability for that. So I would bifurcate the whole issue the whole the whole the whole situation here appoint a special counsel reporting to the president. He can direct the investigation and prosecution as he sees fit. Now it doesn’t mean that it’s some sort of dictatorship. It’s, you know, the prosecutions have to proceed and the investigations have to proceed uh under the under the law and with the respect for civil liberties and protections afforded uh the targets of any investigation or any of the accused ultimately if they’re indicted or or uh deemed to be defendants. So that’s not the issue. The issue is is the agency that’s or the group that is doing the investigation and potential prosecution are they conflicted out? And I think the Justice Department is conflicted out since their whole operation should be subject to this review that I’m talking about and leave the attorney general to do the work that an attorney general is supposed to do under the our limited government analysis and as I say defang deconstruct the justice department. So, it’s something that we can trust as opposed to something that we fear as patriots. So, no, I don’t think the president’s going to name name me to be attorney general, although I’m sure we will do worse, right? I’m just joking, of course. But I I hope he thinks big. I hope he really thinks big. Now, he’s facing a Senate that’s kind of closely divided. So, I I don’t deny there are political obstacles to getting someone super aggressive in there, but I would I would push as much as he could to to try to save, you know, and there’s a self-p protection here because heck, I mean, he he and his family are going to be abused in unbelievable ways at the end after he leaves office, especially if uh the Democrats come back in. And I don’t think he’s going to be protected just because a Republican retains the Oval Office if at the end of his term. I I that’s not the way things work in DC. Remember, it was his own justice department that was trying to destroy him during the first term. Why would we think a a Justice Department under a a Republican that isn’t him not try to do the same thing given the pressures in this town, the anti-Trump fanaticism and anti-conservative fanaticism uh among the left these days. So, we’ll see. We should hear soon whether there’ll be a new attorney general or whether he’ll just elevate Todd Blanch, but this is the way I think the president should think about it respectfully. And I wanted to share that with you. I’m sure I was hoping you’d be interested in it. And uh we’ll see if the president takes my advice. Thanks for watching.
