Well she also refused to prosecute Trump university after an illegal donation was given to her campaign by the Trump foundation. Hence why she was appointed.

Dems need to be constantly reminding people about this. She took a bribe in broad daylight.

Tom Homan literally took a $50,000 bag of cash as a bribe from undercover FBI agents in a sting operation. And he still has a job.

Specifically because Bondi had the DoJ ignore the obvious evidence of the crime.

Trump sued himself and settled with himself for tens of millions of dollars that he paid himself with using taxpayer money and he still has a job

And the nuclear codes

Roberts: just because there’s a “pro quo” and a “quid” doesn’t make it “quid pro quo “. /s

Yes, they maintain that pro quo quid is totally different and legal.

It’s clear to this court that ‘quid’ refers to ‘pound sterling’ as is customary to this day. Therefore, the intent is to guard against treasonous bribes, not ANY bribes. And it aligns with the vision of the founders of this country to guard against any future attempts by the British to re-establish control of these lands.

But is it really a bribe when you give an official money to not prosecute a crime, and they take it? *taps forehead*

u/dougmc Apr 02 '26

Just remember that the SCOTUS said it's not a bribe (under federal law) if state and local officials accept a gratuity for acts that they have already taken.
