think that there's truth to that and what do you think the implications are yeah look i think the most chilling thing about the bondi story is not that you know he doesn't like the fact that she handled the epstein files um uh in that i actually agree with him maybe i i dislike the way she handled the epstein files in a different direction than him but like yeah
I like that is not the chilling part.
The chilling part is she is not aggressively enough pursuing his political opponents.
And like she's pretty aggressively like misusing the Department of Justice to go after Donald Trump's political opponents.
And he doesn't think it's far enough.
I do worry that.
that we are still in the early innings of this administration and Donald Trump is searching for an attorney general who will more efficiently and effectively ignore the facts in the law and go after people that Donald Trump doesn't like.
Yeah, I think that you put your vigor on my biggest concern.
You know, normally when you have politicians who are not popular, when you have presidents who are not popular, what it does is it causes them to moderate.
Remember the triangulation, that concept of triangulation from the Clinton era, right?
That was nothing more than saying like, look,
When you're not popular, like what you need to do is find the midpoint between Democrats and Republicans and try to create policies that are essentially popular, you know, with both sides or try to, you know, play the two sides and you look like you're in the
Politics 101.
The problem with Donald Trump is that he, I think, views his unpopularity as a lack of constraint.
In other words, that if he's not popular, what it means is that popularity is no longer the metric by which he is going to gauge himself successful or not.
So I think what it means, he is much more likely to undermine free and fair elections.
This fall, we just saw him issue a blatantly unconstitutional executive order.
I think it means that he will flirt much more seriously and dangerously with the misuse of federal agents, whether they're ICE or CPB or whoever, around the elections.
We've seen him say he wished he'd seized the ballots after the 2020 election, and we saw him seize ballots
related to the 2020 election in Fulton County, and a subpoena, his Department of Justice subpoenaed them in Arizona.
