Adios, Pam Bondi. And Tulsi Gabbard? In the immortal words of the late Representative Joe Moakley, I wouldn’t buy any green bananas. From Reuters:

U.S. President Donald Trump ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday after mounting frustration with her performance, especially over the release of files on late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump also felt Bondi was not moving quickly enough to prosecute critics and adversaries whom he wanted to face criminal charges, according to sources. Deputy Attorney General Todd ‌Blanche, a former personal lawyer to Trump, will lead the Justice Department temporarily, Trump said in a social media post.

Fired by social media. Classy. And everybody is staying friends. It’s a Very Special Hallmark defenestration.

In the post, Trump praised Bondi as a “Great American Patriot and a loyal friend” who had overseen a “massive crackdown in Crime.” Trump said she will soon move to a job in the private sector, but he gave no details. In her own social media post, Bondi said: “Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime.”

She said she would spend the next month transitioning the role to Blanche. On social media, Blanche thanked Trump and praised Bondi, promising to do “everything in our power to keep America safe.” During her tenure as the top U.S. law enforcement official, Bondi was a combative champion of Trump’s agenda and dismantled the Justice Department’s longstanding tradition of independence from the White House in its investigations.

Maybe Blanche is a quicker hand with the shredder. Who knows? It’s all about the Epstein files. I’m sure that the president is upset that Bondi wasn’t able to secure convictions, or even indictments, against everyone who’s looked crossways at him for the past ten years. But Bondi’s inability to keep a lid on the Epstein files was her real failure. The drip-drip-drip of revelations plainly has the president in a constant state of low-level panic.

Trump informed Bondi at a White House meeting on Wednesday that he was looking to replace her as attorney general, according to a source familiar with the matter. Trump allies had encouraged the president in recent days to “rip off the Band-Aid” and fire her, according to the source and one other person familiar with the matter. Trump told Bondi multiple times over the past several months that he was unhappy with her performance, a senior White House official told Reuters. The official said Trump has contemplated replacing her with Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, but has also discussed other candidates.

All of whom will be lemons, you can be sure of that. And now our attention turns to Ms. Gabbard, who seems to be the next one to be sent across the Bridge of Death over the Gorge of Eternal Peril. What is the capital of Assyria, anyway?
