At the same time that she commended the judge who dismissed the charges against President Trump in the case involving secret data, Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly indicated that the employment of special counsels will be curtailed.
“Special counsels from here on out in our country will be legally appointed, and they won’t be done constantly like they have been done in the past,” she remarked to Sean Hannity during a recent Fox News appearance.
“The weaponization of government will end. No more special counsels out there targeting anyone.” she added.
The remark is consistent with the statements that she made at the hearing for her nomination, in which she rejected to commit to hiring a special counsel to investigate Trump in the event that he was credibly accused of committing a crime.
The previously federal investigations into Trump, as well as the special counsel Jack Smith, have been the subject of Bondi’s criticism for a considerable amount of time.
To drop its appeal of a verdict that concluded Smith was improperly appointed, the Justice Department has moved to discontinue its appeal under the administration of President Trump.
This move, if allowed by the 11th United States Circuit Court of Appeals, would also result in the dismissal of charges against Trump’s two co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago scandal, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira.
“Brilliant judge” was the description that Bondi used to describe the judge who made the decision in the lower court, Judge Aileen Cannon.
In contrast to the fifty years of tradition surrounding the authority of special counsels, Cannon’s decision that Smith was appointed in an unconstitutional manner was overturned.
