As we were talking about Pam Bondi just a second ago, the thing that jumps out to me as well is that Pam Bondi ostensibly gave it her blessing to this deal, saying that it is not corruption because there's no associated official act with what is clearly a bribe. And it's not a foreign gift to Donald Trump because it's not doesn't go to him personally. This is such bogus. It is just garbage.

They issue memos. Those memos are cited over and over and over. Decades later, they create sort of binding precedent on the executive branch. They're just ignoring all that. They're pretending as if that is not how the Department of Justice works and that Pam Bondi gets to make decisions about what is legal and what is illegal.

And by the way, the last thing on this, Ben, which I'm sure you know, is before she was attorney general, Pam Bondi was a paid lobbyist for the Qatar government.

But well, Ben, I just want to interrupt for a second there, because we can't wait until January of twenty twenty seven. And this corruption is beyond anything anyone has ever seen. It is so blatant.

It's not just Democrats who are responsible for upholding the Constitution. It's Republicans, too. It's congressional Republicans who also take an oath to the Constitution, not to Donald Trump. And it is long past time that they stand up for their oath to the Constitution and call out Donald Trump's
