For Florida AG Pam Bondi, 'pay-to-look-away' was about more than Donald Trump



Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has finally started to get some attention for the cash she personally “requested” from Donald Trump, the fat check which landed in Florida just in time to cause the state’s version of the Trump University lawsuit to conveniently go away, and the peachy-keen “thanks for not filing a lawsuit” prom Donald threw for her. If it’s not an obvious instance of bribery, it certainly appears to be.

But as it turns out, this is far from the only time Bondi was paid to look away.

Attorneys general are supposed to be crusaders of justice: men and women who aren't afraid to step on toes, take on tough cases and make the bad guys pay.

... the only thing the bad guys are paying is the tab. ...

If Washington has pay-to-play, these guys have pay-to-look-away. ...

And right in the middle of it all was Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The dollars Bondi asked for—and received—before Donald Trump’s little multimillion dollar lawsuit went missing are far from unique. They’re part of a pattern of behavior. - DailyKOS


Pam Bondi is making a name for herself in the news today! Whoohoo! Good job, Pam! Looks like you may get impeached after all of this is said and done.

it's bribery and corruption. Wake up journalists and stop using your Luntz words.
