Elie Honig: Pam Bondi Is Without a Question Qualified to Be Attorney General

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Well. When you look at her qualifications, how does she compare to previous picks for attorney general qualified than Matt Gaetz let‘s start with that.
>> You know, last week when Matt Gaetz was announced as Trump‘s original pick you and I said there‘s two main things you have to look at qualification and independence. So on the first of those qualifications Pam Bondi is without a question qualified to be attorney general. She‘s been a prosecutor for 20 years in Florida. For eight of those, she was the attorney general of the state. That‘s a very big very complicated job. And that level of experience is on par with or better than most United States attorneys general that we‘ve seen over the past 50 years or so. When we get into independence, though, things get a little more complicated. Now. There‘s nothing wrong or unusual with an attorney general who shares the same politics and ideology as the president. That‘s the way these things work with Pam Bondi is she was a vocal 2020 election denier, and I think that raises legitimate questions about her independence and her credibility. And I expect that to be a sticking point when she goes in front of the Senate the curve changed like I mean, we all know when we were in school, you got graded on a curve in some cases, and it would help you a lot with with what ultimately how you scored.
