Summary
The Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice, created in 1976 in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, is designed to guard against political prosecutions. So, of course, Attorney General Pam Bondi promptly gutted the Public Integrity Section.
Now, Bondi's DOJ is ratcheting up prosecutions and criminal investigation of Democrats. Trump's former personal attorney, now interim US Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba has charged a sitting member of Congress; New jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver; with assaulting, resisting or impeding a federal officer. Bondi's DOJ has also opened criminal investigations of Trump's avowed enemy New York Attorney General Leticia James, as well as Andrew Cuomo, the democrat challenging New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Trump and Bondi are destroying the legitimacy of the DOJ.
