President-elect Donald Trump’s top cop nominee had a no-nonsense message for weaponized prosecutors and investigators in a resurfaced video that supporters wholeheartedly welcomed.

Between her work as the Florida Attorney General in combatting drug trafficking to serving on then-President Trump’s legal team during his first impeachment, all but the most zealous among the Trump deranged have recognized Pam Bondi cleared the qualification threshold for U.S. Attorney General.

While fearmongering and demagoguery have followed nearly every nominee announcement from the president-elect, video from an Aug. 2023 appearance with Fox News’ Sean Hannity zeroed in potential cause for concern for anyone alleged to have been part of any weaponization of the federal government as she assured “the prosecutors will be prosecuted.”

After the then-former president had been processed at the Fulton County Jail and his mugshot became part of pop culture, Bondi had appeared on a panel where she referenced allegations levied against President Joe Biden and his family surrounding foreign business dealings when she expressed, “When Republicans take back the White House — and we will be back in there in 18 months or less — you know what’s gonna happen? The Department of Justice, the prosecutors will be prosecuted, the bad ones.”

“The investigators will be investigated,” she went on, “because the deep state, last term for President Trump, they were hiding in the shadows. But now they have a spotlight on them, and they can all be investigated and the house needs to be cleaned out, because now we know who most of them are, there’s a record of it and we can clean house next term. And that’s what has to happen.”

Following the withdrawal from consideration of former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz who’d insisted, “There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle,” the president-elect had wasted little time in advancing a second nominee for his attorney general.

In his statement on Bondi, while Trump did not explicitly state that she would be following through on her promise, he did raise concerns around weaponized government as he had said in part, “For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans — Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again.”

“I have known Pam for many years — She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!” added the GOP leader.

Prior to Bondi’s nomination, it had been reported that a number of current and former officials from the Department of Justice and the FBI had begun lawyering up out of fear of so-called “revenge prosecutions.”

At the same time, anonymous officials insisted to NBC News that “Everything we did was aboveboard,” while the outlet detailed, “like many other current and former Justice Department officials, he is bracing for a potentially long and costly legal battle, as well as the possibility of protracted congressional investigations, after Trump takes office in January.”

While it remained to be seen how a second Trump administration would proceed on that front, many on social media welcomed the possibility.
