The only criterion that matters for President Donald Trump’s next attorney general is whether he or she will go after domestic terrorists such as Antifa and the participants in the attempted palace coup of the Russia collusion hoax. Those are two glaring areas in which outgoing Attorney General Pam Bondi fell well short of the mandate demonstrated by Trump’s win in 2024, and her successor needs to be unapologetic about pursuing justice in both cases.
As The Federalist CEO Sean Davis noted, “Trump’s next AG needs to be ruthlessly efficient at inflicting maximum legal violence against the left-wing terrorists, hoaxers, and coup plotters who are actively attempting to destroy this nation and anyone who defends it.” In fact, lack of action from Bondi on these issues is reportedly one of the reasons Trump fired her Thursday.
