Bondi wants to make sure that Vance (or Don Jr, or Ivanka) can effortlessly contest the 2028 election, if they lose [View all]

CONTEXT: You saw the stories about Vance being the "front runner" for 2028. You also saw that Trump has refrained from endorsing him, because he wants his "legacy" to continue, as in "President Don Jr" or "President Ivanka."

Regardless of who runs, take a look at what Pammy is up to:

Attorney General Pam Bondi is reportedly considering doing away with a critical Justice Department safeguard designed to prevent politically motivated prosecutions of elected officials, according to multiple officials familiar with a proposal circulated last week.

The change would remove the requirement of the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section (PIN), a Watergate-era department responsible for reviewing and approving prosecutions of public officials and signing off on federal prosecutors’ indictments of lawmakers. Instead, Trump-appointed U.S. attorneys would have the power to bring corruption charges without centralized oversight.

PIN also handles voting-related matters. In the case of a contested election, they would determine how the DOJ would intervene.
