"While no one should underestimate what Bondi is capable of, she’ll find herself at loggerheads with Trump eventually. “Trump turned against all his prior attorneys general when they retained a shred of respect for the rule of law,” said Michael Sozan, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. “He’s expecting Bondi to be an arsonist. It won’t end well for her. It will be even worse for the American people.”

There’s still another unsettling consideration here. If and when Trump pardons the January 6 attackers, media commentary will exude a strong push toward “turning the page” and “looking forward, not backward.” But as Brian Beutler argues, all this impulse really does is risk encouraging exponentially more right-wing degeneracy later. Indeed, this instinct toward absolution will be doubly absurd coming even as Trump is preparing to escalate the lawlessness and unleash sadistic persecution of an ever-expanding list of enemies within."
