The firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem could spell problems for Attorney General Pam Bondi, whose future has come into question following President Donald Trump's decision to cut a member of his Cabinet after Republican lawmakers expressed concerns, Politico reported Friday.
Bondi has come under fire for her handling of the Epstein files, as congressional leaders have questioned her leadership of the Department of Justice over the last several weeks.
"As many as 20 Republicans might be prepared to back an effort to render punishment against the nations top prosecutor for slowwalking the materials release, according to the Democrat helping lead the charge," according to Politico.
The move comes as five Republicans sided with Democrats this week to subpoena Bondi, who will soon be forced to testify before a House committee.

The female purge has begun. He uses them, they dutifully perform, then he chews them up, and spits them out.
DHS (gone)
DOL (under investigation)
DOJ (probable)

I personally don't think there is any other fake job he can create/shift her into
unless its in a country with no extradition.

(22,040 posts)as far as Shitler is concerned anyway. Good luck with that. AG Barbie isn't going anywhere. Nor is "Jeebs" Patel. They're doing their master's bidding. Noem became a liability. She began thinking it was about her, not of orange master.

(12,965 posts)Only one is gone, and even she is being kept around in a new position. (Which kind of surprises me, since she kinda threw Trump under the bus, which I would think would be unforgivable.)
Looking at both terms, he has not been at all reticent about getting rid of guys too.
And of course, some of the most significant players remain Susie Wiles, Karoline Leavitt, Tulsi Gabbard (though Tulsi's role has sometimes seemed tenuous).
I agree that Bondi is worth watching here because what she has in common with Noem is that Republican members of congress are turning against her.

(168,540 posts)but a BIG difference on how 45 HANDLES that "behavior".
Keystone Kash has been almost as egregious as Ice Barbie in his waste, fraud, and abuse, but continues to be protected.
Gabbard was given a "task" after being shut out of actual "intelligence decisions" (in essence, a demotion), and who knows how long she will be there.
Then you have Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Dept. of Labor) currently going through a slow-motion bus trampling. And after this last "disastrous" (their famous word against Biden) set of economic reports, her days are numbered despite not having anything to do with the policies that have gotten us here.
Wiles is like Rhona Graff, the latter who was his executive assistant for decades, and like Wiles, was his "gatekeeper" (although Wiles was also the daughter of a famous sports and broadcasting star - Pat Summerall
).

(12,965 posts)We'll see what happens with Kash. I think it's a stretch to say gender is likely the reason he's got his job and Noem doesn't. You describe his actions as "almost" as egregious (so, not quite as much), but moreover, he hasn't testified to congress that Trump personally approved the things he did, which has been seen as the tipping point for Noem. For Trump, in the end, it's always about, "okay, but how does this affect ME?" I don't think gender plays much into that equation. It's not like he hasn't gotten rid of tons of men, too.

(168,540 posts)She was head of a Department that is in fact the BIGGEST one behind DOD (which itself is headed by the disgrace Kegsbreath). Patel is only the head of an agency. So she had access to WAY MORE $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that could be flagrantly squandered for Waste. Fraud. Abuse.
And then there is the other ignored disgrace - RFK Jr. heading up HHS, who has had a fiasco of a revolving door of agency leaders (including CDC with multiples - all women, yet the loon Warlock of Oz remains at CMS).
I won't even get into what is happening with the female Fed Governor Lisa Cook.
