As Pam Bondi evades questions at her confirmation hearing about Trumps threats to target enemies, a former prosecutor explains what Bondi inadvertently demonstrated about whats really coming in 2025.

We talked to former prosecutor Mimi Rocah, who explains how Bondi exposed herself as an unreliable defender of the rule of lawand what that telegraphs about the coming hellscape of 2025.
