Pam Bondi revokes Biden-era DOJ policy against subpoenaing journalists

www.axios.com

Just a moment...

"I have concluded that it is necessary to rescind Merrick Garland's policies precluding the Department of Justice from seeking records and compelling testimony from members of the news media in order to identify and punish the source of improper leaks," Bondi wrote in an internal memo obtained by Axios.

Bondi's announcement comes as several federal agencies have been beset by constant — and often embarrassing — leaks.

So it begins
- I think at this point it's "so it continues."
- Theres been decades leading up to this point in time starting with Len Leo's court capture scheme and citizens united.
- Did you just wake up stranger?

I have concluded that it is necessary to
You just gotta love how these people heard this phrase in courts and thought: "It sounds so official, I'll use that too!" yet they somehow completely missed that that was always prefixed with a huge list of factual reasons why they have come to that conclusion
- "But why is it necessary?"
  "I concluded it. Didn't you hear me?"
  <Makes a note to subpoena this annoying questioner later>
  
  "I didn't say it. I declared it."

I'm pretty sure the Constitution has a rule for that.
- Their constitution starts and ends at 2.
  
  For now.

- Eh, not just America. Both France and Germany are seeing a rise in right-wing ideologies, not to mention the countries where they're already in power.
  
  Poland as well. It's honestly happening everywhere, and I suspect Russia is funding a lot of it worldwide.
  
  Italy too and Canada has a candidate for PM that is a trump loyalist.. poilievre i think his name is
  
  all of them of 1 thing in common, being funded by putin/musk, its not by accident they all are happening at once.
  
  Canada is about to vote on the 28th. We have a baby fascist druphkin sympathizer too.
  
  The UK is likely to leap to the right next time they have an election too. They had a decade and a half of terrible right-wing government then voted for something else, but what they got was terrible centrist government and they're frustrated. The centrists expelled all the left politicians from the Labour Party, so now the choice in England at least is Labour's centrism-with-bigotry, incompetent Conservative, neo-fascist, another fairly directionless centrist party that appears to be led by a clown, or Green. Because people are angry, it's likely to flip far right.
  
  Whataboutism. Can't wait for the countries you mentioned to be standing and laughing once the ruins of America catch on fire.

I cant wait to watch in real time the downfall of this regime and see every one of these heinous pigs taken to slaughter
- Maybe you'll even get a chance to help hold hogs accountable for their actions!
  
  Damn straight.. i wont shy away when it comes time... Acting prematurely is not advisable.. waiting till its the right time is how we win..

Did nazi that coming
