Originally published at: Bondi Continues Using DOJ As Musk Retribution Weapon In Warning To Dem Who Protested Tesla - TPM – Talking Points Memo
Attorney General Pam Bondi sent Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) a warning on Sunday after Crockett participated in a non-violent conference call discussing protesting Elon Musk and his recent slashing of the federal workforce and federal spending through his Department of Government Efficiency rampage. Bondi’s warning, which included a directive for Crockett to “tread very carefully”…

I don’t understand how the GOP could have deteriorated so quickly. Were they always fascists in conservative clothing? Or are they just a party of the weak-willed who can be co-opted by the first tin-pot dictator that comes along? The party of beta cucks,* led by the betaest cuck of them all?
Pam Bondi was a piece of work in the past, but openly threatening peaceful protestors with unlawful retribution is way beyond anything she seemed willing to pursue in the past.

So a group of armed men can stalk and plot to kidnap and torture Governor Whitmer, and walk away. But you can’t criticize a non-elected corporate destroyer or his products without threat of jail.

I always knew she was a Trump surrogate but I never actually thought she would act as his personal attorney when she became AG. I feel so naive…

Too bad this ‘operation’ wasn’t retroactive—there were quite a few criminals threatening public officials during January 6, 2021.

So, if I firebomb a Ford it’s just an ordinary crime, but if I torch a Tesla it’s terrorism?

… Bondi, during a Fox appearance on Sunday, said that Crockett needed to “tread very carefully because nothing will happen to Elon Musk, and we are going fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country,”…
Did Bondi actually say “fight?” That sounds violent, to me.

What the hell is Bondi getting involved in this to begin with?? Vandalism and destroying property is already against the law, and it is a matter for local LEOs to deal with.
This is nothing more than gratuitous bullying and posturing by another Administration bully who is enabled and encouraged by the Bully-in-chief.
We cannot stand 3+ more years of this. Republicans in Congress have to be made to understand that they will pay a big price for not impeaching this monster. And if that takes some screaming and bullying on our part to get there…so be it. Time for some insurrection from our side for a damn change.

Pam Bondi, you’re no Elliot Richardson! She is corrupt to the core.

Has Bondi cautioned Trump or Musk when they use violent terms in the rhetoric they spout regularly and frequently? Just asking questions…

It is good to see that the government will protect Tesla dealers because, dog knows, the man with $400 billion (and slipping) can’t afford to hire security.

“tread very carefully”
But if you want to bash liberals, threaten Democrats, scare children, or announce terrorists eating dogs and cats… why, then… how about a slot at CPAC?

So now Republicans are vociferously defending an electric car manufacturer, when only a year or two ago electric cars were (according to them) “worse for the environment than gasoline-powered cars.”

“yet another example of Donald Trump’s Department of Justice functioning as an extension of the White House — protecting Musk’s business interests”
The DOJ can protect and intervene all they want but the bottom line is Tesla stock is tanking and nobody wants to buy or be seen driving one of Musk’s cars. Maybe MAGATs will pick up the slack and buy a Tesla or two? Maybe driving a Tesla can be seen as the new red hat?

It seems Republicans have been goose-stepping ever closer to fascism since DonOLD ran and won is his first term. The fascistic traits were there, DonOLD just brought them to the surface.
70 Republicans, from both chambers, decided not to run for re-election in 2020.

We need quotes from trump and musk from their idiot platforms threatening alongside Rep. Crockett’s and others. Which sounds like a literal threat and which is just speech.
Bondi needs to be told repeatedly she has no grounds or standing to investigate members of Congress. Aka EFF off Blondi.
