Attorney General Pam Bondi was caught off guard Thursday when President Donald Trump’s handpicked US attorney, Lindsey Halligan, secured New York Attorney General Letitia James’ indictment from a grand jury, two sources familiar with what happened told CNN.

Halligan, who has been running the Eastern District of Virginia for just over two weeks, did not coordinate with Bondi or other leaders at the Justice Department headquarters in Washington, DC, or inform them about timing before presenting the case to a grand jury.

A grand jury on Thursday indicted James on two charges — bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution — as the Justice Department continues to pursue charges against Trump’s political opponents.

CNN previously reported that Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche viewed the case against James as weak, reflecting the advice from the former US Attorney Erik Siebert and career lawyers in the Eastern District of Virginia. Halligan had told some people, including at least one Justice Department official, in recent days that she was planning to move forward with the charges against James. She presented the case alone in front of the grand jury on Thursday in Alexandria, Virginia.

3. Every single day is comprised of yet another avalanche of fucking BULLSHIT from this regime

It's beyond clear that the psychology of the MAGAts who continue to support this shitshow is such that they simply DO NOT CARE how utterly full of shit their leaders are, as long as what they are saying is annoying/offensive to 'The Left'.

"Actual, Demonstrable Reality" is UTTERLY USELESS to them. Only their Faux Nooz fantasy world of spin, hypocrisy, and gaslighting has meaning in their world.

No matter how much they are blithely lied to, they will never perceive that their intelligence is being insulted. Instead, they admire the regimes ability to lie, day-in and day-out, without any significant repercussions.

4. An unlikely story.

Bondi is just trying to distance herself from the impending losses, embarrassments and disbarments.
