This interview podcast features Tim Miller interviewing Melissa Murray, a law professor, about Pam Bondi's nomination as Attorney General. The discussion analyzes Bondi's confirmation hearing, focusing on her evasiveness regarding potential conflicts of interest and loyalty to Donald Trump. Murray highlights concerns about Bondi's lack of managerial experience and the concerning appointments of Trump loyalists to key DOJ positions, such as John Sauer as Solicitor General. The conversation also touches upon the implications of these appointments for issues like same-sex marriage and abortion rights, and the potential for the DOJ to become a tool for partisan political prosecution. Finally, the discussion expands to broader political strategy for the Democratic party.
