The Latest Idea From the National Review Brain Trust: Stop Hillary by Impeaching Her Now

Rude Pundit points out that Pam Bondi has dropped investigations in return for campaign contributions before the one she got from Trump.

For instance, Bondi’s predecessor, Bill McCollum, had sued travel agencies like Expedia who were trying to get out of paying certain taxes in Florida. A few junkets and some money funneled through the Republican Attorneys General Association later, and, in 2014, Bondi said that there was no need to continue the lawsuit.

This was part of her cozy relationship with the now-defunct law firm Dickstein Shapiro, which contributed nearly $25,000 to Bondi’s campaign war chest (which seems to be the going rate for her). Bondi didn’t pursue cases against the firm’s clients, like Herbalife and, hey, a for-profit college. Dickstein Shapiro was eventually cleared when it was investigated for trying to buy influence with Bondi, but, shit, if we use Republican standards for what lengthy investigations prove, then everyone involved was guilty as fuck. The Florida press started calling Bondi’s m.o. “pay to look away.”

But, hey, Trump’s spokesjerk says everything is ‘squared away,’ so don’t worry your pointy little heads, mainstream media.
