“I obviously have many thoughts about the worst attributes of Trump attorney general nominee Pam Bondi. She was elected Florida’s attorney general to protect the public from fraud and abuse, and then fired two prosecutors in her office who were doing just that, because the fraudsters happened to be her campaign donors. But after she was termed out as Florida AG, Bondi made the move of so many elected officials: spinning through the revolving door and becoming a lobbyist, explicitly serving the powerful rather than indirectly doing so as a politician. She joined Ballard Partners, a previously unassuming law firm led by Brian Ballard that shot into the stratosphere in the first Trump term because one of his former clients was none other than Donald J. Trump.” (11/25/24)
