As a MAGA hater, I agree. Then we can go after others doing the same. Any stock trades look weird? Bust that ass!

Maybe didn't read the article and why they are investigating her. It’s cause she said local cops should arrest ICE officers who are breaking the law.

“If you are telling people to arrest our ICE officers, our federal agents, you cannot do that, you are impeding an investigation, and we will charge them,” the Florida Republican told Fox News. Bondi added, “You’ve got Pelosi out there saying to obstruct their investigation. You can’t do it, and we’re going to investigate her now.”

edit: Pelosi’s statement that triggered this

While the President may enjoy absolute immunity courtesy of his rogue Supreme Court, those who operate under his orders do not. Our state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law — and if they are convicted, the President cannot pardon them.

That is funny. No the ICE is above the law. Trump can't even attack his enemies right.

Trump would fight a short person on his knees.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

God that quote is so fucking childish

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

I added Pelosi’s statement to the comment. They called that “interfering with an investigation”. lol.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

If you are telling people to arrest our ICE officers, our federal agents, you cannot do that, you are impeding an investigation

Don’t investigations typically involve warrants when you really need to get info from/about specific people or places? I haven’t heard of many, if any, warrants being used in these. Ok Bondi, show us the warrants for your “investigations”!

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He has already proved that as a president he is immune

Also it wouldn't surprise me if he eventually pardoned himself for all charges

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

~~Biden should have never pardoned himself~~ Trump will 100% do it but won't tell anyone. Like the documents stuff. Jedi Mind trick.

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Biden did not pardon himself.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I thought he did last moment. He did his family.

[–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah because he knew the guy coming him after him would maliciously prosecute them lol.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de -4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Take it to court like everyone else. That's what normal people do.

[–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Have you seen whats happening with our court system?

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

Supreme court is truly trash and the ninth is not far from it. However, the rest is still fighting and holding up....so far. People need to continue voicing their outrage. Show the courts, they are not alone.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Bondi isn't opening up an investigation against Pelosi for actual crimes, she's investigating because she said ICE agents who break the law should be arrested. Pelosi dared to say something against the gestapo, that's why Bondi is involved.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de -2 points 5 months ago

Yeah I know. Was hoping for really charges not make believe ones.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago

Fun fact: Congress critters are (were) exempt from all that SEC silliness the plebs are subject to.

[–] teft@piefed.social 7 points 5 months ago

That's not how it works under authoritarians. If you're in the circle you're fine doing whatever fucked up shit you can think of. If you're not then you're fucked for jay walking.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 22 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Presidential immunity does not extend to rank and file Federal employees. If they're breaking the law, they can and should be held accountable. There is nothing controversial about that.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago

I agree. Pam Bondi should be arrested and charged with her many counts of corruption and abuse.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 22 points 5 months ago

How about an investigation into Pam Bondi taking a $25k campaign contribution from Donald Trump in exchange for dropping the Florida state lawsuit against Trump for his massive Trump University scam?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-ag-pam-bondi-is-cleared-in-complaint-involving-25k-donation-from-trump/

Or how about re-opening the case case against Tom Holman for accepting a $50k cash bribe on video from an undercover FBI agent?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is fascist nonsense. Bondi should spend the rest of her life in prison.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 5 months ago

shes wearing her cross like karolina just in case.

[–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not sure too many people are going to oppose this one. lol

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

They should. Supporting the judicial persecution through trumped-up charges of politicians you don't like, just because you don't like them, will help the fascists and eventually come back to bite you.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I just cannot wait for that arrogant mean AG to get her comeuppance. Pelosi should also do some time as well for insider trading, if it is proven. I think the stock market does not mean as much anymore due to all of the manipulatable fuckery from everywhere and over time.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Pelosi is 100% corrupt. You don't get that wealthy by being a politician of the people. Remember when covid hit and a bunch of politicians magically sold off a bunch of their stocks right before the market crashed?? Pretty sure she was in that group. Either way she looks like a innocent school child in comparison to trump and his henchmen. If trump wants to start comparing whose more corrupt then he'll eventually lose. Eventually he'll start pulling a thread he wished he hadn't and wind said thread into a noose for himself

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Pelosi should be investigated for why she blocked several impeachments of Trump.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 5 months ago

Because she knew the votes weren't there in the Senate to convict, and to keep impeaching and having it go nowhere would start to look pathetic.

Also, 50 years from now, it might look more like it was persecution by Democrats, making Trump sympathetic.

Impeachment is supposed to something extremely rare, used only a few times throughout history, not as a routine punishment.

[–] opavader@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

throw both her and schumer to jail for life. they deserve it for making dnc impotent bootlickers of superpacs while backstabbing aoc and mamdani

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 months ago

trying to backstab AOC or MADHAMI. bernie is the one that recieved the most damage from it.

[–] solrize@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago
[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Which random accusations did she draw from the hat this time?

[–] beemikeoak@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 5 months ago

She's now 86 years old person. Like doesn't 64 years old mean that nobody is supposed to bother you anymore? WTF she's almost 90 in 4 short years. They are attacking old people now.
