Justice Department official Ed Martin is under investigation by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel in Washington, which handles attorney discipline. His Senate nomination to serve as U.S. attorney in D.C. stalled, prompting him to inform his staff in a farewell email. Martin claims the investigation violates his confidentiality and threatens his professional standing.
…
Democratic lawmakers and advocacy groups accused him of using prosecutorial threats to intimidate opponents of President Donald Trump and his associates. Trump replaced Martin with former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, who has been sworn in as interim U.S. attorney.
Trump also appointed Martin as associate deputy attorney general and pardon attorney. Martin will lead a task force investigating the perceived weaponization of federal law enforcement against Trump supporters.

Fox News: Justice Department tells American Bar Association it will no longer comply with ratings for judicial nominees
The letter, previewed exclusively to Fox News, marks the latest escalation in a protracted legal fight between Republicans and the nation’s largest legal organization.
The Justice Department on Thursday formally notified the American Bar Association that it will no longer comply with its ratings process for judicial nominees, the result of what it argues is a biased system and one that “invariably and demonstrably” favors nominees put forth by Democratic administrations.
The letter, sent by U.S. Attorney General Pam [Bimbo #3] Bondi to ABA President William R. Bay, was previewed exclusively to Fox News. It marks the latest escalation in a protracted legal fight that Republicans have waged against the nation’s largest association of legal workers.
“For several decades, the American Bar Association has received special treatment and enjoyed special access to judicial nominees,” Bondi said in the letter. “In some administrations, the ABA received notice of nominees before a nomination was announced to the public. Some administrations would even decide whether to nominate an individual based on a rating assigned by the ABA.”
The Justice Department said in the letter that it will no longer grant the ABA the “special treatment” and first access it has received, revoking decades of precedent where the ABA interviewed and vetted potential members of the incoming DOJ team.
We’ve seen what type of attorneys Trump will pick — such bright shining stars as Pam “Bimbo #3” Bondi and Alina “Bimbo #4” Habba — when the ABA is removed from the process. This will not turn out well.
Fortunately there’s only a 19 month window of opportunity for them to screw things up before the mid-term electees take office.

FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News on Wednesday that the federal government is in no “rush” to release more information about Jeffrey Epstein and the so-called Epstein Files.
All we ever seem to get out of loser Patel is lip service.

Newsweek: Victims’ families slam Pam [Bimbo #3] Bondi over Boeing deal: Next crash her fault
Families of victims of Boing 737 Max crashes are speaking out after the Justice Department reached a deal Friday that will allow the airplane giant to avoid criminal prosecution for allegedly misleading regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before two of the planes crashed and killed 346 people.
Nadia Milleron, whose 24-year-old daughter, Samya Rose Stumo, died in a 2019 plane crash in Ethiopia, told Newsweek via email, “Pam [Bimbo #3] Bondi is afraid to try a case. She is reinstituting the coddling corporate criminal’s policy. Boeing remains a criminal corporation and [Bimbo #3] Bondi is enabling them. The next crash will be her fault.”
Fort Worth Star-Telegram: Pam Bondi’s Massive Stock Trade Sparks Ethical Concern
Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly sold shares in Trump Media & Technology Group valued between $1 million and $5 million on the same day President Donald Trump announced significant tariffs on global trade. The announcement during a press conference called “Liberation Day” included baseline tariffs on most imports and specific tariffs, such as a 20% rate on the European Union. The news led to a drop of over 10% in Trump Media’s stock, sparking concerns about the ethical implications of Bondi’s actions.
While it remains unclear whether Bondi sold her shares before or after Trump’s announcement, Trump Media registered its top shareholders, including Bondi and Trump, with the Securities and Exchange Commission the day before the sale. The exact connection to her transaction remains uncertain.
Eventually all of this pond scum will be locked up.
Miami Herald: Pam Bondi Under Fire Over Qatar Jet: ‘Wrong Signal’
Attorney General Pam Bondi’s alleged connection to Qatar has drawn criticism as the Qatari government plans to gift President Donald Trump a luxury Boeing 747-8 for temporary use as Air Force One. Bondi previously lobbied Congress for Qatar, earning $115,000 a month in 2020. The situation has since fueled legal and ethical concerns regarding foreign gifts to U.S. officials.
…
Democratic pollster Matt McDermott said, “The DOJ memo approving Trump’s Qatari jet? Written by Pam Bondi. Her last job? Lobbying for Qatar.”

New York Times: With Trump Visit, Qatar’s Image Makeover Scores Another Success
The emirate, once called “a funder of terrorism” by President Trump, has spent lavishly on overhauling its global reputation.
The president, who has described the emir as a “great gentleman” and a “friend of mine,” is granting Qatar the honor of hosting one of the first foreign visits of his second term. As for the plane, the president says he would be “stupid” not to accept such a nice gift despite loud objections, not only from Democrats but from some of his most fervent MAGA supporters.
It is a dramatic turnaround for a small Persian Gulf country that Mr. Trump derided eight years ago as “a funder of terrorism at a very high level.” At that time, he cooperated with Qatar’s bitter rivals in the region — who imposed a punishing blockade on Doha — in calling for an end to what he described as the country’s “extremist ideology.”
Impeach! Impeach! Impeach!
Raw Story: Pam Bondi fires ‘warning shot’ at free press with ‘most chilling’ guidelines yet: report
“Attorney General Pam Bondi fired a warning shot at the free press last Friday,” according to the Editorial Board of the Washington Post.
They are concerned with the removal of a Justice Department regulation, which limited the government’s ability to see the phone or email records of journalists.
Bondi replaced this guideline with ones they call “most chilling.”
This is because Bondi is allowing investigators to go after members of the media who obtain “privileged and other sensitive information,” not just classified material, “that undermine President [Donald] Trump’s policies.”
The regulations Bondi removed were put in place by Attorney General Garland.
Additionally, the House of Representatives voted unanimously to codify the regulation, which was known as the Press Act (Protect Reporters and Exploitative State Spying Act) last year.
But Trump called on Senate Republicans to kill the bill after his election.
“The effort had bipartisan support because both parties have an interest in exposing wrongdoing inside government, especially when they are in the opposition,” according to the Post.
