Democratic administrations | Trials & Tribulations of King Donald

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.

As backlash brewed over new restrictions on press access, the Pentagon made a second, quieter move—one that sent another troubling signal about how far it’s willing to go to create a safe space for Pete Hegseth.

On Friday afternoon, just before the holiday weekend was set to begin, word began to spread among Pentagon reporters: new, even more restrictive press limitations were imminent. Shortly after, the Pentagon Press Association was informed just how sweeping they would be. Pete Hegseth, the embattled Secretary of Defense, announced he would revoke journalists’ long-held ability to navigate the Pentagon’s unclassified hallways freely, cutting off access that has been permitted across Republican and Democratic administrations for decades.

Hegseth cloaked the decision in the language of national security. In a memo that he publicized via tweet, Hegseth claimed the restrictions were necessary to safeguard “sensitive information—the unauthorized disclosure of which could put the lives of U.S. Service members in danger.” But to many reporters, the rationale felt hollow—especially coming from a figure at the center of Signalgate, the scandal involving Hegseth’s own use of an insecure messaging app to conduct sensitive military business. The notion that hallway access for credentialed reporters posed more of a security threat than his own sloppy use of an encrypted messaging app struck many as absurd, to say the least.
