With anyone related to Trump's orbit, I assume ulterior motives.

| Yes. DC bar has a low turn out for votes vs number of lawyers. Plan is to take over the bar with Trump loyalists. |

From the substack: " That someone as busy—and conservative—as Brad would want to be bar president perhaps makes a bit more sense when you consider that Trump and his confederacy of dunces on Capitol Hill have a major axe to grind with the DC Bar Association. For example, in the “Interim Report on the Failures and Politicization of the January 6th Select Committee,” available here, the hilariously Orwellian-named “Subcommittee on Oversight” specifically noted that it “has reason to believe” that the bipartisan congressional committee investigating the January 6th attack “coordinated with the Washington, D.C. Bar Association to file an ethics complaint against [Stefan] Passantino.” Passantino was the attorney who initially represented Cassidy Hutchinson, the former assistant to Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Among other things, Hutchinson testified under oath that, prior to the attack on the Capitol, Trump was told that some of his supporters were carrying firearms and could not clear the metal detectors to enter his rally, to which he responded by saying he didn’t care as “they’re not here to hurt me” and attempting to have the detectors moved. Just a few days before her testimony, Hutchinson dismissed Passantino, later saying he had unlawfully instructed her to withhold information and misrepresent her testimony, and had implied that he would help her with future employment in return for testimony favorable to Trump. Passantino, who unironically was the head ethics deputy counsel in the Trump I’s Office of White House Counsel, wasn’t disbarred or otherwise disciplined, and now he has filed his own ethics complaint in DC, against Liz Cheney. That complaint is still pending, from what I’ve been able to run down. Maybe Brad can help move that baby along. Another knock against the DC Bar Association, at least in Trump World, is that the association filed disciplinary charges against three lawyers associated with Trump’s bogus “Stop the Steal” claims. Given the ongoing litigation involving Trump and his second administration, you can bet that a bar association being run by Brad Bondi won’t be filing disciplinary charges against the president’s more … errrr … zealous advocates. The opposite may be true." |

Because I have lost my will to be nice and polite, I will say that I think he resembles the baby from the 90s tv show Dinosaurs.

Thanks for posting this. I normally don’t vote, but I will make a point to vote this year, and Bondi will not get my vote. |

This was Pam’s face before her elective surgery. You can see it when she smiles. |
