CNN Pundit Points Out Pam Bondi's 'Outrageous' Move On First Day As AG
HuffPost
The new attorney general got a poor review from the get-go by the former federal prosecutor
CNN legal expert Elie Honig essentially flunked Pam Bondi on her first day as attorney general Wednesday. (Watch the video below.)
After host Kaitlan Collins played a clip of President Donald Trump musing whether Bondi could be impartial toward Democrats, Honig went on the offensive.
“The thing that jumped out to me today… is essentially Pam Bondi’s first act in office is to order an investigation of January 6th and the classified documents prosecution of Donald Trump,” he said. “That is an outrageous thing to do on your first day. If you’re trying to restore DOJ’s equilibrium and establish, ‘this as a nonpolitical place,’ that is an overtly political quest.”
Honig made no bones about how he thinks the probe will play out.
“Someday, six, eight, 10 months from now, we’re gonna get a report and they’re gonna say, ‘Those prosecutions of Donald Trump were wildly corrupt and political and improper.’ It won’t come out any other way.”
