Reminder to Pam Bondi: It Wasn't Nixon Who Went to Prison — It Was His Attorney General

If Trump's reckoning finally comes, Pam Bondi knows where the bodies are buried.

Attorney General Pam Bondi strutted into Tuesday's congressional oversight hearing as if she were auditioning for a reboot of The Apprentice. Once again, Bondi made it clear that her loyalty begins and ends with Donald Trump — the law, the Constitution, and basic ethics be damned.
Bondi spent the hearing defending the indefensible. She dodged questions about Trump's shady crypto grifts, shrugged off illegal cuts to domestic violence programs, and proudly supported ignoring federal court orders.

When pressed about Trump's "pay-for-play" crypto scheme — a racket reportedly designed to let the ultra-wealthy and foreign nationals buy influence with the White House — Bondi clammed up faster than a mob lawyer. Asked whether the Department of Justice should comply with court rulings, she refused to say yes.
Of course, this is hardly Bondi's first brush with corruption. Her record of putting Trump above the law stretches back nearly a decade. In 2016, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) uncovered that the Trump Foundation had illegally donated $25,000 to Bondi's political committee, a violation of federal law, since charitable foundations aren't allowed to bankroll politicians. Even worse, Bondi's office had been "reviewing" whether to investigate Trump University at the time. Six days after her spokeswoman confirmed that review, a $25,000 check from Trump's charity conveniently arrived. Four days later, Bondi decided not to sue Trump.

Bondi has also refused to say that Trump lost the 2020 election, clinging to debunked claims of "fake ballots" and "evidence of cheating." After Trump pardoned violent rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, she didn't flinch. Instead, she quietly continued working behind the scenes to give Trump's legal team new strategies to challenge Joe Biden's 80,000-vote win.
Since her confirmation as attorney general on February 4, Bondi has turned the DOJ into Trump's personal legal defense firm. Her first act as AG was to send out a memo threatening to fire anyone who dared raise ethical objections to pushing Trump's political agenda through the courts. Long gone are the days when the DOJ prided itself on independence. Republicans once spent years screaming that President Biden was "politicizing justice." Now, Bondi — the same Pam Bondi who defended Trump during his first impeachment — is literally running the DOJ alongside Trump's former criminal defense attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove.

But here's the thing about serving as the errand-runner for an aspiring autocrat: it doesn't usually end well. Bondi might think she can ride Trump's authoritarian wave and come out clean on the other side, but history suggests otherwise. Just ask John Mitchell — Richard Nixon's attorney general during Watergate.
Mitchell, like Bondi, believed his job was to protect the president at all costs. He approved illegal wiretaps, went after antiwar protesters, and tried to stop the publication of the Pentagon Papers. When Nixon's reelection campaign got caught burglarizing Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex, Mitchell was right there in the thick of it — and eventually went to prison for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury.
Pam Bondi should take notes: when you spend your career protecting corrupt men from accountability, you eventually learn that loyalty doesn't trickle down. It throws you under the bus.
