In a remarkable turn during her Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday, President-elect Trump’s Attorney General nominee, Pam Bondi, effectively turned the tables on Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse after he implied she would politicize the Department of Justice (DOJ).
During an intense exchange, Whitehouse questioned Bondi about the appropriateness of starting a criminal investigation with a target in mind rather than with evidence of a crime. Bondi responded by highlighting what she perceives as the political targeting of Donald Trump over the last four years, saying, “Senator, I think that is the whole problem with the weaponization that we have seen the last four years and what’s been happening to Donald Trump.”
Bondi used the opportunity to underscore her commitment to fairness and justice, stating, “I will not target people simply because of their political affiliation. Justice will be administered evenhandedly throughout this country. Senator, we’ve got to bring this country back together. We’ve got to move forward, or we’re going to lose our country.”
She further referenced Kevin Clinesmith, a former FBI lawyer who pleaded guilty to altering an email used in the Carter Page FISA application, as an example of misconduct within the DOJ.
Responding to Whitehouse’s concerns about the politicization of the DOJ, Bondi was clear, “Let me give you a really good example of a bad lawyer within the Justice Department, a guy named Clinesmith who altered a FISA warrant. One of the most important things we can do in this country. So will everyone be held to an equal fair system of justice if I am the next attorney general? Absolutely. And no one is above the law.”
Eric Daughtery, Assistant News Director at Florida’s Voice News, commented on the exchange, stating, “Pam Bondi totally flips the script on Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D) who tried to make it seem like she will weaponize the DOJ.”

Bondi is anticipated to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, with some speculation that she might even garner votes from Democrats due to her previous bipartisan work.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
