Attorney General Bondi heralds the end of the 'weaponization' of the justice system under Trump - Conservative Institute

For nearly a decade now, President Donald Trump has frequently lamented how a politicized justice system was turned into a weapon by his partisan opponents against him and his supporters.
According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, however, the era of the "weaponization" of the Justice Department has now ended under Trump's leadership, the Washington Examiner reported.
The remarks from Bondi came just days after her DOJ obtained a federal criminal indictment against one of Trump's original political enemies, former FBI Director James Comey, over his alleged perjury during a 2020 congressional hearing and alleged obstruction of a congressional investigation into unauthorized leaks.
No longer a "two-tier system of justice"During an interview this week with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Attorney General Bondi revealed that "everything is on the table" when it comes to ending the "weaponization" of the justice system, as well as that nobody should consider themselves safe from facing accountability for their lawless actions.
"Whether you’re a former FBI director, whether you’re a former head of an intel community, whether you are a current state or local elected official, whether you’re a billionaire funding organizations to keep Donald Trump out of office. Everything is on the table," Bondi said.
"We will investigate you and end the weaponization. No longer will there be a two-tier system of justice," she continued of those who've sought to use that system against the president and those who surround and support him.
"The weaponization has ended"AG Bondi stated in the interview with Hannity that she and others were working "around the clock" at the DOJ to identify and expose wrongdoers and ensure that they are ultimately "held accountable" for their politically motivated criminal acts.
She observed that Americans "shouldn’t be nervous any longer because Donald Trump is in office and the weaponization has ended, we’ve made that very clear." She also noted, in the context of the Comey indictment, that "no one is above the law."
"A very liberal grand jury in one of the most liberal jurisdictions in the country just indicted James Comey," Bondi said of the ex-FBI director. "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty; however, we are going to trial in this case, and this is just the beginning."
Comey indictment is "not about revenge"To be sure, not everyone is happy about the indictment of Comey, and several prominent Democratic lawmakers have decried the criminal charges as an act of vengeance by President Trump against his perceived political enemies, according to the Examiner.
Yet, when pressed on the indictment by reporters, Trump insisted, "This is about justice, not about revenge."
AG Bondi put forward a similar message on the day of the indictment, when she posted on X, "No one is above the law. Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case."
Trump prodded Bondi into actionInterestingly enough, just a few days before the Comey indictment was announced, President Trump had publicly chided his attorney general for the apparent lack of "action" against his political enemies who'd weaponized the system against him, and who he viewed as being "guilty as hell," along with a demand that "JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!"
However, just over an hour later, Trump noted separately that Bondi was "doing a GREAT job as Attorney General of the United States," and that she "is very careful, very smart, loves our Country," but needed some help to prosecute those who'd been mentioned earlier, such as Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and New York Attorney General Letitia James, among others.
