Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has once again demonstrated her political acumen and judgment in securing the nomination for U.S. Attorney General. Bondi, who served two terms as Florida’s top prosecutor and was an early, prominent supporter of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, weighed in on a sensitive matter involving longtime Republican ally Rep. Matt Gaetz.
Bondi and Gaetz have known each other since his early political career in Tallahassee, moving in the same Florida Republican circles and often appearing together at public events. Bondi even served as “godmother” to Gaetz’s dog, reflecting their close personal ties.
However, with Gaetz under congressional ethics scrutiny at the time, Bondi privately advised that he was not the right choice for Attorney General—a decision some sources say reflected her commitment to the integrity and reputation of the office. A Justice Department official, however, disputed this account.
When Gaetz stepped aside, Bondi’s proven experience and dedication made her the clear choice for Trump. Sources say Trump quickly recognized her as the top candidate, calling her personally to invite her to take the role. Within hours, Bondi’s nomination was announced, while Gaetz was offered a role in her office—a gesture he acknowledged with gratitude.
Trump even admitted that he had made a “dreadful error” in not considering Bondi over Gaetz, who had been accused of child sex trafficking and statutory rape four years earlier, a source told The New Yorker.
“He picked up the phone one morning about seven o’clock and called her and said, ‘I’ve made a dreadful error, and would you consider this?’” a senior administration official told the publication.
Hours after that call, Gaetz withdrew, and Bondi’s nomination was announced. Shortly after that, Gaetz called Bondi and got a job offer, he claims.
Recognizing that it had been a “tough week” for him, she said, “Come work for me,” Gaetz recalled. He opted against it but said, “I thought that was super kind of her.”
Her loyalty was repaid when she was confirmed as attorney general in February.
“She was like a cult figure with law enforcement. She’s a beautiful blond woman. She took these tough cases, she went to court, and won,” Gaetz told The New Yorker. “And what Pam did was she used the platform of her earned fame to dominate.”
Bondi’s strategic judgment, long-standing Republican loyalty, and demonstrated leadership in Florida positioned her to step into a national role at a pivotal moment, underscoring her reputation as a principled and capable public servant.
Allegations against Matt Gaetz were investigated and dismissed, as they were politically inspired because Gaetz is a true conservative warrior and was bound to be bitterly opposed by radical Democrats. Bondi was Trump’s second choice but is tarred by her having pushed a disastrous prosecution against George Zimmerman, defending himself against Trayvon Martin who viciously pounded his head against pavement during his attack on Zimmerman. Bondi also supported red flag laws, to the dismay of patriotic Americans who support the Second Amendment and Americans’ right to defend themselves and their God-given freedoms. Bondi does appear to be loyal to Trump but dismayed MAGA supporters by promising to release Epstein’s client list which she claimed she had on her desk, then retreating from that commitment. She gave an Epstein “binder” to MAGA influencers at the White House which contained nothing more than information already publicly available, creating expectations for more information to be released from the press corps, when they saw the binders as the influencers exited the White House. Bondi’s unleased Ed Martin to confront Obama & Biden’s “weaponization of government”– let’s hope this results in justice for all those guilty of violating the Constitution and shredding the civil rights of Trump and of American citizens- the Russia hoax, Hunter Biden laptop hoax, Open Borders, the January 6 committee & J6 prosecutions, all warrant thorough probing.
