Here's What I Want From the Next Attorney General

I do not envy our next Attorney General. He or she has their work cut out for them. Attorney General Pam Bondi was fired yesterday, and now Todd Blanche is the Acting Attorney General. He said the allegations against ActBlue, which I told you about here, are a priority for his DOJ.

That is a good start. For years, conservatives have said ActBlue was little more than a money laundering mechanism for foreign donations, and those claims were dismissed as baseless conspiracy theories.

Republicans are going after @ActBlue, fueled by a baseless right-wing conspiracy theory about money laundering. They simply can’t fathom that so many people genuinely want to support @KamalaHarris and downballot Democrats.

It’s yet another example of the GOP abusing government… https://t.co/IElHIlDU6M

But —once again — those conspiracy theorists were proven right. Of course, as the brilliant Data Republican points out, celebrate the demise of ActBlue, but don't get cocky.

“It’s long been a goal of the 'democracy' camp to overturn Citizens United and ban PAC money," she wrote on X. Here’s the catch: they want to replace it with union money and taxpayer-funded money schemes much like the NGO gaming of subsidized campaigns, which allowed Mamdani to win in NYC. They are moving towards, or are already in, a total monopoly over campaign funds for Democrats. Yes, let’s enjoy the collapse of ActBlue. But beware."

She's right, but that's fodder for another column in the near future.

ActBlue is just one of the many, many things the new Attorney General and the DOJ need to address before the end of President Trump's term. So here are the other things I would like to see tackled before 2029. While it's not an exhaustive list, it will keep the DOJ busy for the next two and a half years.

Joe Biden's Cognitive Decline

This is the biggest scandal in presidential history, making Watergate look like a child's birthday party. We had a president who had clear signs of cognitive decline, which I (and countless others) noted back in 2020. Unfortunately, COVID restrictions made it very easy for the campaign to hide Biden's problems behind a veil of "pandemic safety." Unfortunately, COVID restrictions didn't last, and there are numerous videos and pictures of Joe Biden wandering off, shaking hands with invisible people, mumbling and muttering or screaming incoherently, and needing note cards to not only identify reporters but with stage directions telling him when to sit, stand, or leave the room.

Americans deserve to know who, in fact, was running the country from 2021 to 2025. We don't know that person, or persons, but we do know this: Joe Biden was not calling the shots. This means that everything from his COVID orders, including his push to use OSHA to usher in a nationwide, employer-based vaccine mandate, to his pardons, to his appointments — including Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson — to his myriad pardons, to his last-ditch effort to unilaterally ratify the Equal Rights Amendment as he was walking out the door, is spurious at best, and illegal at worst.

Yes, the implications of undoing the work of an entire presidential administration are vast, complex, and breathtakingly overwhelming. That said, the DOJ needs to investigate it all. They need to tell us who was making the decisions, what (if anything) Joe Biden was actually aware of and authorized, and how to not only remedy these wrongs but also prevent them from happening in the future.

That doing so is a sticky wicket is on the Democrats who propped up Joe Biden from 2020 onward, but who wanted to let him have another four years in office so these persons unknown could continue running the country in his stead.

Social Media Censorship

Last September, Google admitted that it worked with the Biden administration to censor social media users on its platforms, including YouTube, over politically controversial topics, including COVID.

During a hearing with the House Judiciary Committee, Google confessed that the Biden administration "“pressured Google to censor Americans and remove content that did not violate YouTube’s policies.”

This, too, was originally dismissed as yet another conspiracy theory, but Google later offered those it had suspended an opportunity to return to the platform. The revenue those users lost, however, was not given to them.

Last March, the Media Research Center found almost 60 anti-free speech and censorship policies pushed by the Biden administration, including getting a judge to ban X from notifying users of government surveillance, harassing and threatening Meta employees into censoring criticism of Biden's COVID-19 policies, a "Framework" with other nations to censor social media, and working with Google, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and OpenAI to restrict online speech.

These are gross violations of our First Amendment rights, and those who enacted these policies should be held accountable.

Left-Wing Protests

These protests, while ubiquitous today, are nothing new. The Left has been staging these protests for decades, and it's clear that they are well-funded, highly organized, and coordinated by forces that seek to undermine American freedom and our rights. Just last weekend, we saw numerous "No Kings" protests pop up across the country. They were all scheduled at times that allowed these groups to move from one protest to another, with preprinted signs and — by and large — the exact same branding. They are about as organic and original as a Kardashian face.

No, really, all these things happening at the exact same time, under the exact same brand, with the exact same preprinted signs isn't an astroturfed psy-op. https://t.co/7ZWaEnK0me

Here’s how communist PR deception works:

They have two protests minutes away from each other, but one protest starts 2.5 hours after the other ends.

The media is an ally, so they will report massive attendance at both without admitting it’s the same people. https://t.co/8nvQTpWHuS pic.twitter.com/92EzktD24l

The First Amendment, while robust, does not necessarily cover these types of protests. The right to "peaceably assemble" meant that the government could not prevent you from gathering in a home or place of business. It was never carte blanche to block roads, harass citizens, threaten law enforcement, or disrupt lives.

Who is funding these protests? Most of us know that George and Alex Soros are likely behind a lot of it, but they're not the only actors. The DOJ must root out these funding sources, investigate possible RICO, and bring these protests to an end.

Corruption, Financial and Otherwise, in Congress

There have been allegations of insider trading in Congress for years. Nancy Pelosi is so notorious for it that the proposed legislation to prohibit elected officials from owning securities and investments was named after her.

But it's not just the trading. There are serious questions about Rep. Ilhan Omar's immigration status — did she lie on her applications? Did she marry her brother as part of an immigration scheme? — that need to be answered, as well as questions about Rose Lake Capital, the firm belonging to Omar's husband, Tim Mynett. Mynett started the firm in 2022, and it was worth less than $1,000 in 2023. In less than three years, Rose Lake Capital grew to manage more than $60 billion in assets. How?

Companies tied to Mynett's stakes in two businesses went from just tens of thousands of dollars in 2023 to nearly $30 million in 2024. Again: how?

Late last year, Omar's "obscure" financial disclosures were called into question, including one asset that went from $1,000 in 2023 to over $5 million the following year. Watchdog group Investigative Economics said there's no clear explanation for that increase.

Omar's fellow Squad member, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, is also someone the new DOJ should take a serious look at. Just yesterday, I reported how Tlaib had ties to Salah Sarsour, who was arrested by ICE in Milwaukee. Sarsour has deep ties to Hamas as well as a criminal history dating back to the 1990s, and hosted fundraisers for Tlaib during her 2018 Congressional campaign.

Those three are not the only Congressional people who need investigations, of course, but they should be the new Attorney General's priority.

More than any other position in the government, the AG can actually drain the swamp of its power.

Therefore, the swamp will fight to have a weakling in the position. Trump has to nominate the most bloodthirsty anti-communist who can actually get confirmed. That’s the challenge. https://t.co/QPkHY1oYLx

We elected Donald Trump to drain the swamp. All of it. The Attorney General is the one who has the power to do, and do so he (or she) must.

We've lived through decades of Democratic criminality, and every time Republicans get elected, it's "time for us to turn the page" — Bush did that in 2001 with the Bill Clinton investigations and pardons. He stopped them in an effort to heal the nation after the contentious 2000 election. How'd that work out for Bush and the rest of us? They still hated his guts, waged war on his administration, and called him Hitler.

The Democrats have made their intentions very clear, should they regain power: they plan the full-blown weaponization of government against anyone and everyone who didn't adequately "resist" President Trump and his administration, including ICE agents, businesses, schools, and organizations. The scale of the retribution, should Democrats carry out those plans, will be huge. And we have no reason to believe that they won't. Look at what Joe Biden did during his four years in office: social media censorship, labeling parents and Catholics "domestic terrorists," and throwing numerous January 6 defendants in prison for lengthy sentences. And that was when they were happy having won the 2020 election.

They are not happy now. Kamala Harris lost to President Trump, and President Trump is chipping away at their voter base via immigration enforcement and voter ID legislation. Things, I fear, will be very ugly in 2027 and worse in 2029 if Democrats regain control. The next Attorney General can nip this in the bud by holding Democrats accountable.
