AlterNet - 'Prosecutors will be prosecuted': Pam Bondi vowed DOJ 'deep state' will be 'cleaned out'

President-elect Donald Trump’s latest pick to become Attorney General, former Florida AG Pam Bondi, is a MAGA supporter who vowed last year that if Trump were to return to the White House, the “deep state” would be eliminated from the U.S. Dept. of Justice and the “prosecutors will be prosecuted.”

Trump’s nomination of Bondi comes after his first pick, former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was forced to withdraw. Senators on both sides of the aisle made clear Gaetz’s chances for confirmation were slim given investigations into allegations of possible sex with a minor, possible payments for sex, and possible sex-trafficking. He has also been under investigation for possible illicit drug use and questions about possible campaign finance improprieties.

In 2023, Bondi told Fox News host Sean Hannity that “when Republicans take back the White House and we will be back you know what’s gonna happen, the Department of Justice, the prosecutors will be prosecuted, the bad ones.”

“The investigators will be investigated because the deep state last term for President Trump, they were hiding in the shadows,” she claimed. “But now they have a spotlight on them, and they can all be investigated and the house needs to be cleaned out because now we know who most of them are. There’s a record of it and we can clean house next term, and that’s what has to happen.”

On CNN’s “Out Front,” Erin Burnett Thursday evening reported that Bondi has made “it clear she is on the exact same page as Trump when it comes to his claim that the Justice Department has been politicized.”

1. Bondi is actually more dangerous then Gaetz

Gaetz is basically a sex fiend and an attention whore

Bondi is smart and insidious

2. Is it part of her job to give trump an enema?

That would be a deal breaker for me in any job.

4. As my dear old mother would say, "For Pete's sake............'

What deep state? Was it there the first time Trump held office? Was it there when the Drunken Frat boy was in office or his father? How about the great (in their words) Ronald Reagan? Was there a deep state then?
