Trump picks Pam Bondi for US attorney general after Gaetz withdraws nomination
[IsraelTimes] US President-elect Donald Trump
...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania...
nominates former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to be attorney general of the United States, moving swiftly to replace former nominee Matt Gaetz after the embattled former congressman withdrew from consideration.

Gaetz, who faced opposition from Senate Republicans, was the subject of a House Ethics Committee
...think of a nudibranch pretending to be a vertebrate...
probe into allegations of having sex with an underage 17-year-old girl. He has denied wrongdoing.

Bondi served as the top law enforcement officer of the country’s third most populous state from 2011 to 2019. She served on Trump’s Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during his first administration.

Her resume contrasts with that of Gaetz, who has little of the traditional experience expected of an attorney general. Bondi would likely face less opposition from senators involved in the confirmation process.

Trump announces his pick of Bondi on social media, praising her for her prosecutorial experience and saying she was tough on crime as Florida’s first female attorney general.

#1 Bondi is a great pick, and will should sail through after Gaetz

#2 I'm not sure the country is ready for a cute AG.

#4 Bondi is Former lobbyist for Qatar. Qatar! The place that Hamas had offices until a week ago. The country that all the terror outfits have offices in.

Pam Bondi was also a lobbyist for Amazon and Uber and a whole host of other orgs that are Left of Center.

Pam Bondi is a dc swamp creature. She used to work with GOP RNC RINO Donor Firm, Ballard Partners, a huge dc swamp lobbying firm. Just like Trump's chief of staff Ms.Wiles - another prominent lobbyist Trump hire from the same lobbyist firm.

So much winning here. 4D Chess. Not. #TrustPami stinks a whole like 2016's #TrustSessions.

#5 The attorneys i know choose to represent clients that will pay the bills. They don't necessarily need to align with their beliefs. So who she has worked for is not a solid indicator.

#6 I am not familiar with Bondi's background, but if she can take orders and do the job, great! That is a big improvement over what we had.

Plus it will be fun seeing the Democrats twist themselves in knots saying bad things about girl.

#7 Bondi should work out O.K. Definitely, cuter than Garland and smarter. She has been AG in Florida. Ken Paxton would have also been a good choice. There are attorneys in Trump's sphere who are also very good.
