A bombshell report from The New York Times suggests that despite her title, Attorney General Pam Bondi is hardly running the show at the Department of Justice.

According to the Times, Bondi “sees her role as that of a surrogate, a faithful executor and high-volume messenger, compelled to cede ground to empowered players in the West Wing.”

“The decisions are being made at the White House, and then they’re being pushed down to the Department of Justice, which is very, very atypical,” observed DOJ alum Elizabeth Oyer. “It feels like she is just performing a part. She is like an actor, in a way.”

      He’s 100% the image of the violent overseer that cracks his whip across the backs of slaves with a smug sickly sneer on his ugly face in a movie. The one that everyone cheers for when his victims get their justice against him, slashing him with his own whip a dozen times before choking him out with it. Let us hope he receives his deserved comeuppance in real life as well.
