adminPresident Trump publicly demanded that Attorney General Pam Bondi move swiftly to bring charges against political figures he says have long escaped accountability, naming New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Adam Schiff among those who should be prosecuted. The president’s blunt message — posted openly on his platform — complained that delays were “killing our reputation and credibility” and insisted justice be served without further foot-dragging.
The demand followed the abrupt exit of the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after he concluded there was insufficient evidence to charge James, a development the White House linked directly to the president’s frustration with inaction. Trump made clear he would not accept career prosecutors quietly shelving cases against powerful Democrats, and he publicly blamed the prior prosecutor for failing to pursue what he called a “great case.”
In a move critics derided as political, Attorney General Bondi installed Lindsey Halligan — a former personal lawyer to President Trump and White House aide — as the interim U.S. attorney in that critical district. Conservatives should not flinch from the idea of installing trusted, loyal lawyers into key roles when the entrenched bureaucracy has repeatedly protected political allies of the Left; Halligan’s loyalty and willingness to take on tough fights were exactly why Trump pushed for her.
Letitia James and Adam Schiff have been central figures in high-profile, partisan actions against President Trump — James won a multi-million dollar civil judgment against the Trump Organization and Schiff led impeachment proceedings — and many Americans see a glaring double standard when those who pursue political vendettas aren’t held to the same criminal scrutiny. If the evidence exists, the American people deserve to see charges filed and justice delivered, not another season of selective enforcement where the Left is immune.
Predictably, the mainstream media and a choir of legal elites are shrieking about “weaponizing” the Justice Department, pointing to Halligan’s limited prosecutorial background and warning about politicization in a district that handles national-security cases. Those warnings deserve scrutiny, but they cannot be allowed to serve as a shield for powerful Democrats who used their positions to pursue partisan aims; accountability is not “weaponization” — it is the rule of law.
America is tired of one set of rules for the political class and another for the rest of us, and Pam Bondi now has an opportunity to show that justice applies equally — whether you’re a celebrity prosecutor in New York or a senator in California. President Trump’s pressure may make the swamp uncomfortable, but standing up to the partisan elites and demanding results is exactly what millions of hardworking patriots expected when they voted for change. If there’s a case to be made, bring it; if there isn’t, prove it transparently — the country deserves nothing less.
