#attorneygeneral
Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton is frequently opting for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas.
One attorney cost taxpayers more than $24,000 for a day’s work.

In January, then-acting Deputy #AttorneyGeneral #EmilBove ordered the firings of about 2 dozen prosecutors who had been hired for temporary assignments to support the #Jan6 cases, but were moved into permanent roles after #Trump’s presidential win in November. Bove said he would not “tolerate subversive personnel actions by the previous administration.”
"Remember when everyone thought Matt Gaetz would be a terrible fucking Attorney General? That was cute. Pam Bondi makes Gaetz look like a goddamn choir boy caught holding a hymnal. At least with Gaetz, the sleaze is loud, brash, and impossible to miss. Pam’s corruption is quieter, silkier—a velvet-gloved hand rifling through the vault while she smiles for the cameras and lectures the rest of us on “integrity.”

#AttorneyGeneral of #NewYork #LetitiaJames:
"The President of this United States cannot, with the stroke of a pen, or in his case, a stupid Sharpie, he cannot violate the law in these #UnitedStates"
"Remember all of the ancestors who died for our right to be here"
(b) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secy of #Defense, in coordination with the #AttorneyGeneral, shall determine how #military & #NationalSecurity assets, training, non-lethal capabilities, & personnel can most effectively be utilized to prevent crime.
The #JimJordan led #House #Judiciary Cmt has now released their reconciliation bill.
In addition to #immigration measures, it transfers ALL #FTC #antitrust actions to the US #AttorneyGeneral [currently #PamBondi], among other antitrust provisions.

“Blocking the #GamblingAdReforms is the fourth known example of Albanese’s willingness to #overrule senior ministers such as #EnvironmentMinister Tanya Plibersek, #AttorneyGeneral Mark Dreyfus and assistant minister Andrew Leigh when they were tackling #controversial and #sensitive #policies.
The #PrimeMinister can always use the authority of his position to make the final call on all matters of policy. This masthead has already revealed that #Albanese has come over the top of Plibersek on #EnvironmentalProtection laws, Dreyfus on mandatory jail terms for hate crimes and antisemitism, and Leigh on sex and gender census questions.”
I’m going to be re-elected.

"The #AttorneyGeneral stated during her television appearance that a reason she ordered the #deathSentence was because the alleged victim was a CEO"This is as good as an open admission that CEOs have more rights than the rest of us peons. They are a new aristocracy, a new nobility. Robber barons, with emphasis on barons. Slaughter thirty schoolkids? Eh. Thoughts and prayers. Kill one CEO? UNTHINKABLE!!!

"The #AttorneyGeneral stated during her television appearance that a reason she ordered the #deathSentence was because the alleged victim was a CEO"
I am not going to presuppose a ruling in today's political environment, but when the prosecution seeks the death penality *because the victim is a CEO*, that's fucked

Pam Bondi Derides Eric Adams Indictment in New York as ‘Incredibly Weak’

He - #jdvance - appears to have acquired a #uk fellow traveller in the #HouseofLords in the form of #lordglasman ! #mauriceglasman - who is a #Laɓour peer - has demanded the sacking of #lordhermer, the current #attorneygeneral , apparently for taking the rule of law too seriously! Last month #mauriceglasman attended the inauguration of 47 as an invited guest.
Newly confirmed #Trump #AttorneyGeneral #PamBondi is expected to order a review of the cases brought against #Trump, including those undertaken by prosecutors in #NewYork who successfully #convicted him in court.
Sworn in at the White House on Wednesday, Bondi intends to issue a series of memos aimed at curbing the so-called weaponization of the #DOJ….
She will order the review of the #criminal & #civil cases against Trump….

"Firing career #FBI agents without cause would violate civil service protections. If the firing is based on their oversight of #J6 or #Trump criminal investigations that would not constitute good cause. So, if the above is accurate (and I have no reason to think it is not) then Emil Bove (the Acting Deputy #AttorneyGeneral and until recently one of Trump’s criminal defense counsel) is taking action that violates their rights."

@QasimRashid I just sent a request to David Yost, AG of Ohio. I hold little hope that he will do anything as he is a SuperMAGA clown. I hope anyone else in Ohio will do the same. #ohio #daveyost #attorneygeneral #trump #spendingfreeze
The #DOJ has abruptly revoked recent job offers from the #AttorneyGeneral’s #Honors Program — a prestigious & competitive opportunity for top #LawSchool graduates to work in entry-level positions across the department.
The #Trump admin’s cancellation of the program was confirmed by multiple people….

#PeteHegseth, who is seeking to lead the Dept of #Defense, & #PamBondi, Trump’s selection for #AttorneyGeneral, were greeted warmly by Senate #Republicans during their confirmation hearings, despite withering questions from Democrats about their #independence from #Trump & other matters. Bondi declined to distance herself from Trump’s lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, & Hegseth dodged questions about whether he would…order US #troops to shoot #protesters.
