wild that this keeps happening, you'd think they'd learn to pick someone who doesn't immediately become a lightning rod
Yeah, except Trump picks loyalists who turn out to be either incompetent or start actually reading the Constitution halfway through.
Nah, that's the whole point - you need someone willing to actually enforce the law instead of playing politics.
Nixon had Archibald Cox fired over Watergate and that turned out pretty badly for him, so maybe there's something to learn from history here.
Bondi did her job and they still came after her, typical Washington swamp garbage trying to remove anybody loyal to Trump.
Good. AG should answer to the President, not some unelected bureaucrats trying to run the show from the shadows. That's how it's supposed to work!
The pattern here is that Trump goes through AGs like tissues because he wants a yes-man, not a lawyer willing to tell him no. That's the entire problem.
