Who is worse as U.S. A.G. Pam Bondi or Bill Barr or John Mitchell?

If you are on plane that was on autopilot and both pilots had bailed out and it was running out of
fuel and it was you, Bondi, Bill Barr and you only had 2 parachutes 🪂 what is the right thing to do?
Of course you would use one for yourself … gotta get home to feed the dog … and then you would throw the extra one out as you jumped from the plane.

where Garland is and what he thinks of the institution he said he was protecting. It was all for naught.

5. Bondi is orders of magnitude worse. Like Trump, she is in her own category of repugnant and corrupt

10. Pam Bondi gives the term "BITCH" a whole meaning.

I am not using this word lightly. I am serious here.

AG Bondi's responses to the pertinent questions posed by Senate Democrats and her refusal to answer respectfully, shows her refusal is ANSWERING the questions. They achieved their purpose. Bondi opened herself up to ridicule and history will not be kind to her.

8. Pam Bondi--without a doubt. At least Barr (occasionally) remembered his oath but unforgivable on Mueller.

Mitchell accepted his punishment and, by Trump standards, was almost saintly in his "crimes," as long as one does not believe his wife, Martha's, claims of someone trying to kill her (and think he might have been part of such a conspiracy). So, before I jumped, I'd push Bondi to the back of the plane and let Barr and Mitchell fight over the last parachute. Although if possible, I'd get that last one to the pilot (had they not already bailed).

14. Bondi wins, but Ed Meese should get an Honorable Mention.

Ed Meese was Reagan's A.G. He ordered live fire on students protesting at University of California.

He famously said that anyone accused of a crime is, by definition, guilty, whether they can prove it of or not.

Up until ten years ago, arguably the crookedest Administration ever.

16. Ty Cobb: Bondi more 'reprehensible' than Nixon attorney general

Ty Cobb: Bondi more 'reprehensible' than Nixon attorney general

Former White House attorney Ty Cobb, who served during President Trump’s first term, lambasted Attorney General Pam Bondi for her combative congressional testimony Tuesday.

In an interview on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront,” Cobb said Bondi’s tenure as the country’s chief law enforcement official has been more “reprehensible” than that of Nixon-era Attorney General John Mitchell, who was later convicted for his role in the Watergate scandal.

Asked if he had ever “seen something like that before,” referring to Bondi’s performance, Cobb said, “Never.”

“I think today she achieved one thing,” he continued. “She knocked John Mitchell off the perch of reprehensible attorney generals as No. 1, despite his guilty plea and time in jail.”
