Bondi may have doomed prosecution of Dem candidate by 'saying quiet part out loud': report

Pam Bondi may have doomed the prosecution of a Democratic Party candidate with a recent statement, a legal analyst has warned.

The Department of Justice head could have landed herself in hot water with the title of a recent press release, according to legal expert Adam Klasfeld. The Legal AF analyst suggested a memo delivered by Bondi's team regarding California's EV Mandate could sway active cases because of how she referred to the department.

The title of the memo, "President Trump's Justice Department & Transportation Department Sue to Stop California's Illegal EV Mandate" could be contentious, Klasfield has claimed, because of how it refers to the DoJ.

"Attorney General Pam Bondi said the quiet part out loud this week when she put those words at the start of a Justice Department press release, making it eminently clear who she thinks she works for," Klasfield said. "Not for the American people, not for the constitution of the United States, but for Donald Trump.

"This was obvious to anyone who was paying attention to how Pam Bondi has been running the Justice Department since her tenure began. But it's worth pointing out that before she was confirmed to that office, she swore an oath to Congress that she would do no such thing."

Bondi's memo title could also affect the prosecution of Chicago Democratic Party candidate Kat Abughazaleh. Abughazaleh is fighting charges of attempting to obstruct law enforcement, and Bondi's recent memo could be fuel for her defense, Klasfeld wrote.

Abughazaleh, a primary candidate in the Chicago election, is one of four defendants looking to have charges dismissed following a protest at an Illinois ICE facility. Klasfield points out the Dem candidate had been protesting the enforcement of "Trump's weaponization and corruption of the Justice Department.

"It is well documented that President Trump and his administration, without precedent, has repeatedely and openly taken steps to improperly bend their partner justice towards his personal and political interests,' Klasfeld wrote.

"Indeed, illustrating the White House's influence over the once independent DoJ, just two weeks ago, a large banner of President Trump's image was placed over the front entryway of the DoJ headquarters in Washington D.C."

A court filing regarding Abughazaleh's case also notes the "weaponization of the Department of Justice and federal courts to retaliate against perceived political enemies." Bondi's naming of the department as "President Trump's Justice Department" could give that claim weight, Klasfeld wrote.
