Trump Orders Attorney General Pam Bondi to Indict NY Attorney General Letitia James



President Donald Trump in a social media post Saturday ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) and chided her for not going after his other perceived enemies quickly enough.

“Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, ‘same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leditia??? They’re guilty as hell but nothing is going to be done,’” Trump said of James, former FBI Director James Comey and California Sen. Adam Schiff (D).

“We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” Trump added. “They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

The post is one of Trump’s clearest directives yet to the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prosecute his enemies as part of his sprawling retribution campaign against political opponents and public officials who attempt to hold him accountable.

Would the SC rule that this is part of *rump's "official duties" as President or is he literally breaking the law?

He doesn't even try to hide it . They should just declare his website to be the official White House mouthpiece.

She isn't responding fast and hard enough so he is humiliating her in public.
Calling her by her first name and ordering her to break the law for him.

She is screwed either way.
She does nothing Trump, comes after her some more.
She goes after all of Trump's critics, and she looks foolish and criminal.

They courts will smack them down immediately.

Btw, there was plenty of evidence for BOTH of this toddler's impeachments. This is where TSFs fantasy fever dreams will meet reality.

on social media. They all have to know that their ultimate end is they themselves being thrown under the bus by TSF, don't they?
