0:00.0	Welcome, everybody.
0:08.0	We are quickly learning why former president Joe Biden did pardon people on his way out of office.
0:14.9	We are learning why thanks to Attorney General Pam Bondi, who yesterday announced a number of new lawsuits.
0:22.5	She calls it filing charges.
0:25.1	It's not even clear she knows what she's doing, but that's a whole different story.

1:32.0	This is the same Pam Bondi, former Attorney General of Florida, who once famously accepted
1:37.0	a donation from Donald Trump and then said, you know what, I'm not going to open up an investigation
