"Bondi's legacy was atrocious. It is always welcome to see someone so profoundly malicious leave the government, even if she got booted because she wasn't evil enough."
"This is the woman who abolished the Justice Department's independence from the White House and declared that she would be doing the president's bidding directly."

The consequences of her actions included prosecuting political adversaries and violating court orders, leading to a legacy viewed as one of the worst in the department's history.
