While Pam Bondi is in most respects a generic MAGA hack who will be no better or worse than anyone Trump would appoint to the job, she had one particularly critical qualification:

In 2016, news emerged that Trump paid a $2,500 fine because his foundation improperly donated $25,000 to Bondi’s political election committee in 2013 before her office opted not to pursue a fraud investigation into Trump University. Trump eventually paid $25 million to settle fraud complaints against the now-defunct university.

Bondi said she was unaware of Trump University complaints at the time and that the contribution had nothing to do with her office’s decision not to pursue the case. Trump has said he admired Bondi for never backing away from him amid the controversy.

One of the many things about the coverage of the 2016 election that will never get the attention they should is that Trump was revealed to have run a completely fraudulent fake university and bribed an Attorney General to overlook it, and yet it not only got a fraction of the attention of EMAILS, it got less attention than total nothingburgers than Uranium One. Republicans have gotten to play politics on easy mode for most of the 21st century.
