[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the below make her sound qualified?

"Mr. Reuveni’s removal was in keeping with a directive from Attorney General Pam Bondi that lawyers must not deviate from the decisions made by their superiors. She went so far as to release a statement saying the suspension was a message to anyone who prioritized decisions of conscience over her orders."

This is exactly opposite from what they are supposed to do..it is their stated mission to be impartial act free from political influence.

“At my direction, every Department of Justice attorney [b]is required to zealously advocate on behalf of the United States[/b]. Any attorney who fails to abide by this direction will face consequences,” Bondi said in a statement.

ABA Model Code of Professional Responsibility Canon 7: “A lawyer should represent a client zealously, within the bounds of the law.”

Seems like this is exactly what lawyers are supposed to do.  Impartiality and being free from political influence is for the judge.[/quote]

Zealous advocacy does not include disregard for the rule of law, perpetrating a fraud on the court, lying to a court, and propounding arguments that have a sound basis in law, etc.  Bondi seems to believe that "zealous advocacy" means "rabid Trumpism" and propounding arguments that have no basis in the law or the facts or even believable fiction.[/quote]
