'Bondi's Wedding Ring Made Trump Bleed ... and Other DOJ Absurdities' [View all]

"The Comic Horror of the Trump DOJ...Before we get into the substantive coverage of developments related to the Trump Justice Department, a quick foray into the absurdism that is never far from the surface."

"Thanks to a notebook dump by WSJ reporters in a story ostensibly about the politicization of the Justice Department under the thumb of the Trump White House, we have a bunch of new nuggets that are equal parts cringey and preposterous."

"There was the time earlier this year, for instance, when President Trump cut his hand on Attorney General Pam Bondi’s gaudy wedding ring. I can’t even with this story. That and the other lowlights of the WSJ story."

"No story on the absurdist Trump DOJ is complete without a cameo from Ed Martin: He works from an office dubbed the 'Freedom Suite' on one end of a hallway on the deputy attorney general’s fourth floor, which visitors have described as being decorated with oversize photos of Trump and a small cup of holy water on the wall."
