Donald Trump’s pick for the next attorney general, Pam Bondi, seems well-qualified on paper. She's spent years as a prosecutor and Florida's attorney general. But her recent comments about the 2020 election and threats to prosecute Trump's foes raise big questions about her independence and trustworthiness. The attorney general has immense power, controlling many law enforcement agencies and a massive budget. So, it's crucial they act fairly and impartially. Bondi's record shows she can be tough on crime, like shutting down pill mills and fighting human trafficking. However, her public statements have sparked concerns. Some, like Dave Aronberg, a former state attorney, think she's not just a political hack and believes in the rule of law. But will she use her power wisely and stay independent? That's the million-dollar question.
