Spring cleaning in Trump world, it looks like. Pam Bondi lost her job last night we are told. The straw that broke the camel’s back was Bondi allegedly tipping off Eric Swallwell that the FBI would investigate him over his previous relationship with Christine Fang, according to Raw Story. Loyalty is first in the mob, so that would make sense. Todd Blanche will replace Pam Bondi on an interim basis. And Trump is thinking about some other house cleaning. Daily Beast:
Reports have also emerged that Trump recently polled his advisers about firing a third woman from his cabinet – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard – with whom he has been at odds over the Iran war.
Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, built her national profile as a staunch Trump ally during his first presidency.
She joined his legal team during his first impeachment trial and later became a regular presence in his inner circle, ultimately securing the role of attorney general in 2025.
Her appointment came after Trump’s initial pick, former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, withdrew from consideration amid a sex scandal involving an underage girl.
This is what’s known for the moment. Bondi is supposedly going to get another position in the administration, according to Peter Doocy. Trump doesn’t want to fire anybody, he just wants to play musical chairs.
Keep your eye on Gabbard. I’m going to go look at what the Vegas bookies say. They called the Bondi shot right.
Musical chairs to speeding up music.
