But the purpose of this is so that we all go back to not conspiring against one another to slander and gin up faux legal conspiracies of lawfare and attack against our political opponents.

So Bondi has basically put a memo out in response to Trump's executive order ending weaponization, telling DOJ, we are going to go after every instance of this and also every instance of its appearance, because that's part of what you have to do. You have to both be just and look just and keep good faith. And so what I think...

the weaponization executive order is going to do is basically wipe the slate clean. And I think they chose a really good version of this with Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, because if you want to look like you're trying to be nonpartisan and ending lawfare, what better way to do it than to say, hey,

The previous administration went after one of their own, a Democrat, because he turned tail on their political program of bad immigration policy. He turned his back on that. So he's not helping some Trump supporter in some high-profile way. He's actually helping a Democrat mayor who's had a very adversarial attitude towards the Trump administration.

So I thought that choice in following out this executive order was a really smart one because it sends the signal, look, we're not just trying to help our friends. We're trying to help everyone get out from under lawfare.

And so I think it's a really great way to move forward, but it's both dealing with the perjury question, I think is a separate one, but also dealing with the weaponizations head on. And Bondi's got tons of things to do on every level, but I do think there's a headliner issue too.

it's very dangerous to do it, right? That's part of the problem. And so that's one of the reasons why, uh, I think some of the things I've seen so far are to actually release someone from lawfare attacks like Eric Adams. And I think that's right. Uh, but when you're dealing with that, in one sense, Emil Bove has already handled, uh, the question.

He dismissed them and said, you know, or the prosecutors at SDNY. But you're talking about the actual Democrat malefactors who are not refusing to deal with this issue, but who actually created the problem. Insofar as that's an issue, I think the best way is indirectly. You find the best cases, right, that will deal with the problem.

And so what Pambandi's done with Letitia James is they're actually not going after lawfare. They're going after their refusal to follow immigration law. So that's a great way to deal with that indirectly. But insofar as you have to get closer to the problem of lawfare, another indirect way to deal with it is perjury. Because you're not saying, hey, I don't like that you played politics.

You're saying, I don't like that you broke the law. But it turns out perjury is the number one way people commit crimes in the service of lawfare. I do think, by the way, at the end of this, because this is so dangerous and difficult, there are other ethics. Like, for instance... You should pick cases that are very clearly proven without their testimony. Like we've got you here dead to rights.
