Trump slammed for using AG Pam Bondi to target lawyers and law firms with 'Preventing Abuses of the Legal System' memo

President Donald Trump handed down orders to Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday directing federal law enforcement to go after lawyers and law firms that challenge his administration with “frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation.”

The White House issued a memo late Friday announcing Trump’s memorandum, which was titled, “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court.” In it, the Trump administration warns that lawyers and firms engaging in actions that violate the laws of the United States or rules governing attorney conduct “must be efficiently and effectively held accountable.”

“Accountability is especially important when misconduct by lawyers and law firms threatens our national security, homeland security, public safety, or election integrity,” the memo states. An example of “grossly unethical misconduct” is included in the memorandum, with Trump administration officials claiming it’s “far too common.”

“For instance, in 2016, Marc Elias, founder and chair of Elias Law Group LLP, was deeply involved in the creation of a false ‘dossier’ by a foreign national designed to provide a fraudulent basis for Federal law enforcement to investigate a Presidential candidate in order to alter the outcome of the Presidential election,” the memo alleges. “Elias also intentionally sought to conceal the role of his client — failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton — in the dossier.”

... are people going to finally realize that the Gangrenous Boil on The Ass of Humanity has NO redeeming qualities whatsoever, Not ONE.
Even Hitler liked dogs. Trump ridicules people who do.
Trump has plumbed new depths of pathological selfishness and malignant narcissism. He is, quite simply, the worst thing that has ever happened to this country.

..."American."
He ignores court orders, and no one makes any attempt to enforce them, thanks in no small part to those assholes in the conservative majority of the Supreme Court being stupid enough – or maybe deliberately treasonous enough – to grant him near total immunity from ANY consequences for his evil actions.
This cannot be allowed to continue. Traitors have taken over the country, and the cowards in Congress do nothing.

... I think of the original Frank Sinatra/Laurence Harvey movie regularly. One of Frankenheimer's earliest, I think.

One could say it's his strongest suit next to bald faced lying.
