Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi swears that Donald Trump didn’t get special treatment.
“Donald Trump did not get a pass,” Bondi told reporters. …
“There never was an investigation into Donald Trump by this office,” Bondi said.
Never. Never ever. Well, except maybe for that one time. The one where Bondi’s office told the Orlando Sentinel ...
… Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's office is reviewing the New York lawsuit's allegations, to determine whether Florida should join the multi-state case, a spokeswoman for the Republican attorney general said Wednesday.
That time. The time that came a couple of weeks after emails about the case circulated around Bondi’s office. The time that came just days after Bondi called Donald Trump personally to solicit a campaign contribution. The contribution neatly deposited in her coffers four days after her office told the Sentinel they were reviewing the New York case.
But don’t worry. That’s not a problem.
Bondi’s first political opponent in 2010, former state senator and federal prosecutor Dan Gelber, recently said she should at least have returned the check to Trump while the New York case was pending.
But Bondi on Tuesday said she didn’t return the check because it would have looked as if it were a bribe.
Returning the check while the case was pending? Would have looked suspicious. Accepting the check while the case was pending? Perfectly okay. By the way, How can there be a “case pending” when Bondi just said there was not even an investigation?
When Trump TV begins Pam Bondi is a shoe-in for the legal correspondent.
