Pam Bondi won't promise not to weaponize the DOJ

I said "federal law" dumb ass. If they broke the law they should be investigated and prosecuted if necessary. That's her duty.
What law can possibly have been violated by investigating Trump's egregious criminal acts?
 

Fmr House J6 Panelists Privately Seek Biden Pardons​



By Eric Mack

The now-long-defunct Jan. 6 House select committee's members are reportedly privately talking potential pardons with President Joe Biden in the final hours of his administration, hoping to protect themselves from legal accountability from the incoming administration under President-elect Donald Trump.

Former Chair Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., is among the leading House members fearing accountability from Trump, who has been talking about criminal destruction of evidence, including that which would exonerate Trump against former special counsel Jack Smith's ceased cases, Punchbowl News reported Tuesday morning.

"I believe Donald Trump when he says he's going to inflict retribution on this," Thompson said on Monday night. "I believe when he says my name and Liz Cheney and the others. I believe him."

Biden has wide pardon power before he officially leaves office Monday, and Thompson is talking with White House legal counsel about preemptive pardons to shield him from criminal charges, like Trump has alleged with the destruction of evidence and the House Oversight report has alleged with witness tampering on behalf of former Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney.

Now why in the world would they want pardons? :rolleyes:
 
What law can possibly have been violated by investigating Trump's egregious criminal acts?
Perjury 18 U.S. Code § 1621, Suborning Perjury 18 U.S. Code § 1622, Conspiracy Against Rights 18 U.S.C. § 241, Conspiracy to Defraud The United States 18 U.S.C. § 371. Under 18 USC 371 the DOJ has published the following:

Although this language is very broad, cases rely heavily on the definition of "defraud" provided by the Supreme Court in two early cases, Hass v. Henkel, 216 U.S. 462 (1910), and Hammerschmidt v. United States, 265 U.S. 182 (1924). In Hass the Court stated:

The statute is broad enough in its terms to include any conspiracy for the purpose of impairing, obstructing or defeating the lawful function of any department of government . . . (A)ny conspiracy which is calculated to obstruct or impair its efficiency and destroy the value of its operation and reports as fair, impartial and reasonably accurate, would be to defraud the United States by depriving it of its lawful right and duty of promulgating or diffusing the information so officially acquired in the way and at the time required by law or departmental regulation.
Hass, 216 U.S. at 479-480. In Hammerschmidt, Chief Justice Taft, defined "defraud" as follows:

To conspire to defraud the United States means primarily to cheat the Government out of property or money, but it also means to interfere with or obstruct one of its lawful governmental functions by deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest. It is not necessary that the Government shall be subjected to property or pecuniary loss by the fraud, but only that its legitimate official action and purpose shall be defeated by misrepresentation, chicane or the overreaching of those charged with carrying out the governmental intention

The above would apply to the Presidency itself which was conspired against by several people to unlawfully interrupt its function and that of the President, Donald Trump.

That wouldn't apply. Smith did not suborn perjury, did not conspire against rights, and did not conspire to obstruct the function of any department.

Good! What she did say she would do is bring back faith in the justice system. If Jack, Merrick or Lizzy haven’t done anything wrong…they’ve nothing to worry about. Ol’ Pudd’n Head has floated pardons for them heading out the door…that doesn’t sound like they’re innocent…now does it?
. 🤔
Using the Justice Department to go after Trump's political opponents will have the OPPOSITE effect. This is how dictators operate in third world shithole countries. It will utterly and completely destroy any legitimacy the justice department has- and surely even with your limited knowledge of the law (you still would have us believe your a lawyer) you know this is true.

And here's something even you will grasp. The Justice Department cannot prosecute people without crimes being committed. And no leader- even Trump himself- should be able to commit crimes with impunity, as you would have us believe that he can. Everyone is subject to the laws of the land- break them, get prosecuted, abide by them- and (in a free and democratic society) the Justice Department should not be able to go after you.
 
Why should she if they broke federal law in their conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump?
Because they did not in fact break federal law in their DUTY to hold TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE FOR BREAKING THE LAW.

It is utterly appalling how you fail to grasp this simple concept.
 
Because Pam Bondi won't promise not to weaponize the DOJ.
This would not even be a question if the previous regime didn’t weaponize it. And, if the Democrats are so worried, maybe there is smoke for this fire

^ (shaking my head in disbelief.)

REALLY? ANOTHER one of you? For fucks sake Hisarpy! STOP CREATING NEW FUCKING ALIASES AND GET A FUCKING LIFE! how many is that now, sixteen??? Seventeen? Geezuz christ WHY?

And as I've explained over and over and over again- it really is terrible how your little childish mind cannot understand what even an average six year old will- When someone, even a president- commits a crime, it is the DUTY of the justice department to "weaponize" against them. That's what they are for.

If I shoplift from Wal-mart, the justice department should be weaponized against me. If I'm Donald Trump and I shoplift from a Wal-mart, I should not be able to get away with it simply because I'm Donald Trump.

WHY oh WHY cannot your pea brained little mind UNDERSTAND THIS? The only thing you seem to be good at is coming up with new screen names for this forum.

The justice department was weaponized against Republicans for the last four years. The IRS was weaponized against conservative companies under the Dali Bama (peace be upon his holy name). Don’t clutch your pearls now! You’ve supported this activity for ten year or more.
 
Look, dude... first of all, Trump BROKE....THE....LAW.

Now, dont tell me you wouldn't like to see the same justice applied to Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden BROKE....THE...LAW.
Don't tell me you weren't a bit upset because Biden pardoned his son, who likewise BROKE THE LAW.
The justice department was weaponized against Hunter Biden, then, right?

I mean, the cases- and yes there are many- against Trump are open and shut cases. It's not as if there is any doubt or ambiguity here, he is guilty as fuck. This is obvious!! Is it because you are too proud to admit that you are following a guy who is an amoral, law-scoffing slime, or are you REALLY THAT FUCKING DUMB??

I support JUSTICE. I support lawbreakers getting their just deserts for violating the laws of the land. Now you will, at least, have to admit that if you or I had done even half the things Trump has gotten away with, we would be in jail. Surely you can at least admit THAT much.

Application of justice to those who violate the law is not "Weaponizing the justice department!!"
This is NOT some political witch hunt.

WHY
THE
FUCK
DO
YOU
FIND
THIS
SO
HARD
TO
UNDERSTAND???

Define "Conservative Companies."

If the IRS went after companies who were scamming people, colluding to raise prices, or other types of unethical or illegal activities, then he may confuse this type of unethical behavior for "Conservatism." Which is easy to do since much of the far-right conservatism today has utterly no sense of ethics- especially when they blatantly violate the law, and constitution then cry "The Justice Department is Weaponized Against Me!" when they are held accountable.

Or if they were claiming to be non-profit organizations but were promoting certain political candidates, then the IRS would revoke their non-profit status; they will do this whether you are a church or a local gun club- if you are non-profit.

Newsmax:

Newsmax is a conservative Republican-oriented global news portal. It is run by wingnut hack and conspiracy theorist[1] Christopher Ruddy (1965–),[2] and principally lives on the Internet on news site sidebars. It was formed on 16 September 1998, and also has four main sections: the main section, Newsmax Health, Newsmax Finance, and Newsmax World. They also have a print magazine. Its website is dominated by wingnutty shock news,[3] moral outrage,[4] conspiracies,[5] and trashy advertising for dubious "get rich quick" schemes, quack medicines/workout programmes, and publications that feature ads for similar products. Christopher Ruddy, its CEO, has tried to make the network somehow even crazier and less fact-based than a major competitor to Fox News, and has even hired a few former Fox News hosts.

Newsmax is popular with the type of people who read WorldNetDaily; both outlets feature similar worldviews of an idealized conservative God-fearing America besieged by godless libruls, filthy sodomites, evil terrorists, immoral atheists and diseased illegal aliens. However, they managed to even out-wingnut WND when one of their contributors called on the military to overthrow Obama in a coup,[note 1] saying that it would "restore and defend the Constitution". Yes, removing a President elected by the largest margin in decades and replacing him with a junta would restore the Constitution. This apparently was a foreshadowing of NewsMax's involvement with attempting to overthrow the 2020 U.S. presidential election,[7] leading up to the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot.

Distinguished contributors to Newsmax include David Limbaugh (brother of Rush Limbaugh), Michael Reagan (the adopted son of Saint Ronnie), "Doctor" Laura Schlessinger, and (quack) Doctor Russell Blaylock. They'll also spend some time now and again giving airtime to bunk medicine, like chelation therapy.[8] They conducted an interview with Pat Buchanan about a book he wrote complaining that America has become less white and Christian, with the interviewer taking him very seriously.[9]
