Pam Bondi was confirmed as Attorney General of the United States.
Bondi’s nomination was approved by senators in a 54-46 vote, with all but one Democrat voting against her confirmation. John Fetterman voted for her.
Sen. Thune praised her and said she is determined to keep politics out of the Justice Department.
“In recent years, many Americans have lost faith in the Justice Department,” the Senate majority leader said. “They’ve seen federal prosecutors go after pro-life activists while attacks against churches have gone unprosecuted.”
Bondi faced stiff Democratic opposition in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which narrowly advanced her nomination in a 12-10 party-line vote last week.
As attorney general, Bondi will be seventh in line to the presidency and oversee a department with 40 separate sub-agencies and components and more than 115,000 employees.
She had to deal with Schiff.

It’s show time for Bondi. She has a huge task and will face great pressure from opponents. Regarding that betrayer Sessions, Trump said at least twice that Sessions told him he was afraid of all the heat if he got tough. Trump told him I will take the heat. Hopefully, Bondi will follow Trump’s direction, immediately, or be removed. My hunch is that she is not going to do a great job, just like she did not in Florida.
The vote by the Left against her is reassuring. I was concerned about how easily she rolled on Obama’s ‘If I had a Son’ (Trayvon Martin) case, but if the Dems don’t want her, that is a good sign.
Hopefully now we will no longer the the innocent persecuted/prosected, but we will see the evil and those that support their evil prosecuted and punished. Kennedy, Patel, and Gabbard will help uncover the evil that has been protected and hidden from the American people and the DoJ will clean it up.
No one wants to see political retribution, but also no one wants criminals to get away with calling their crimes mere politics. Democrats are not above the law or above been held accountable for their horrific crimes, including perversions of justice.
