A bombshell report from The New York Times suggests that despite her title, Attorney General Pam Bondi is hardly running the show at the Department of Justice.

According to the Times, Bondi “sees her role as that of a surrogate, a faithful executor and high-volume messenger, compelled to cede ground to empowered players in the West Wing.”

“The decisions are being made at the White House, and then they’re being pushed down to the Department of Justice, which is very, very atypical,” observed DOJ alum Elizabeth Oyer. “It feels like she is just performing a part. She is like an actor, in a way.”

    Well of course. Trump doesn’t trust women, but he likes having them around as tokens to flaunt. I doubt any women under his admin are allowed any actual amount of power or control over their own departments.

      Maybe Noem. She’s proven herself to be a sociopath, and that’s his kind of people.

        Even she has that Pakled Homan to do the real dirty work. She just cosplays for photo ops.

          …she shot and killed her puppy because she didn’t feel like training it. She’s definitely a sociopath.
