Update: She's been fired now?

Trump posted that Todd Blanche will be acting AG.

The claim is that he is pre-firing her, I guess. Telling her to prepare her resume and make up a reason why she is voluntarily leaving the job.

Is this true? No idea, of course.

Bondi on the brink?

By JACK BLANCHARD with DASHA BURNS

...

WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT: Dasha last night confirmed those buzzy NYT and CNN scoops that Pam Bondi will likely soon be OUT as attorney general.

Bondi beached: A person close to the White House tells Dasha that when Trump met EPA boss Lee Zeldin on Tuesday to discuss last year's California wildfires, Trump also discussed the potential of tapping him for the AG role. (CNN and the NYT last night both named Zeldin as the most likely successor.) A second person familiar with the situation tells Dasha that Bondi will be out imminently.

Epstein strikes again: Rumors of Bondi's departure are hardly new, but it seems the mood has shifted against her in recent days. The AG has been under pressure since last summer over her ill-fated handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files inquiry, with even close ally Susie Wiles admitting Bondi "completely whiffed" her response. Trump has also long been frustrated over the DOJ's failure to successfully prosecute his enemies, and readers will no doubt recall the infamous "Pam" message that Trump accidentally posted onto social media last year.

Zeld-IN? By contrast, Trump has repeatedly showered praise on Zeldin for his work at the EPA. Zeldin worked as a New York attorney in his 20s, and as a House representative during the first Trump administration became known for his hawkish support of Trump's various legal battles and pursuits.

Non-denial denial: A statement issued to CNN and the NYT shows Trump voicing personal support for Bondi. "Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job," the president said, which is hardly a guarantee of her future status. Bondi accompanied Trump to the Supreme Court yesterday morning and was in the audience for his address to the nation last night. Zeldin was also there.

The New York Post:

President Trump told Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday that she would be out as head of the Department of Justice, a source with knowledge of the conversation told The Post on Thursday.

Bondi was at the White House to attend Trump's address to the nation on the Iran war, and earlier had accompanied the president to the Supreme Court to watch oral arguments in a major birthright citizenship case.

Fox News said Trump will replace Bondi with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as the interim attorney general.

Trump is expected to soon make a formal announcement.

The White House did not directly address the report, but pointed The Post to a quote from the president praising Bondi.

So Fox is confirming it.

Unexpected, at least to me.

Update: Sorry to push unvetted info, but a commenter posted this and I'm going to repeat it even while declaring "I don't know if this is anywhere close to true."

Trump's reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI's efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.

I'm still trying to figure out where this comes from.

Update to last post: At an Easter event, Trump told Erika Kirk that she should "sue their asses," speaking about her professional defamers like low-IQ schizophrenic DEI podcaster Candace Owens.

Owens says that the only reason Erika Kirk would have to sue her would be that she is "making fun" of her "best friend's" grieving widow, and then says this proves that the "Israelis are in charge" and that Trump is now fully Jewish.

This is the woman the site's current Nazi Troll tells me I have to align with Because Reasons.

The Nazis defend her because she routinely says things like "the Israelis are totally in charge now" and "Trump is now fully Jewish." But when you object to Candace Owens telling lie after defamatory lie about a grieving widow who appears to be a nice normie mom, they always say the same thing: You're only against her defaming a grieving widow in the most evil and demonic way possible because you're obsessed with Israel.

No, Nazis. I condemn someone for telling countless vicious lies about a grieving widow -- and suggesting that her wheelchair-bound dying mother is faking for money and sympathy -- because these are inherently, on-their-face evil actions that any right-thinking moral person should condemn uniquivocally.

You, on the other hand, refuse to condemn these lies, because YOU are obsessed with Israel. You have too few prominent Nazi agitators to cut one loose just because she's been on a deranged campaign for almost a year to put Erika Kirk through her own conspiracy-theory Calvary. We don't condemn Candace Owens' breathtakingly evil defamations "because of Jews" -- but you sure as shit embrace this evil because of Jews.

So fuck you and also Kill Yourselves, please and thank you.
