Bondi Leaves DOJ in Ruins: Calls for Watergate-Level Reforms Mount
Pam Bondi’s recent behavior before the House Judiciary Committee exemplified a disturbing trend of presidential influence over the Justice Department, a pattern that echoes historical abuses of power. The article argues that a future Democratic attorney general faces a significant challenge in restoring the department’s independence and public trust. This rebuilding effort should draw inspiration from post-Watergate reforms aimed at insulating law enforcement from political interference, a necessity underscored by the article’s critique of Donald Trump’s administration. Without robust congressional action and potentially bold measures like court expansion, the damage inflicted on the Justice Department risks becoming permanent.
