“Now, the president was musing about sending some of the most horrible people in this country down to that megaprison, you know, people that push ladies into subways and hit old ladies with baseball bats to the head. Is that legal to do, is that something you’re allowed to do?” Watters asked.
“Well, Jesse, these are Americans who he is saying who have committed the most heinous crimes in our country, and crime is going to decrease dramatically because he has given us the directive to make America safe again,” Bondi replied. “These people need to be locked up as long as they can, as long as the law allows, we’re not gonna let ’em go anywhere. And if we have to build more prisons in our country, we will do it!”
Bondi’s answer is lacking, well, an actual answer—probably because deporting U.S. citizens is not legal. Trump’s plan to exile Americans who are incarcerated to foreign countries not only violates multiple federal codes on the keeping of U.S. prisoners, it would also potentially violate the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

Man her lying and dodging questions.
Also found it somewhat funny/annoying how pissed she get when she knew she was asked a question she had to lie about. That ole abuser tactic of I need to be hyper aggressive so no one questions me.
Also the sketchy fallacies they used for emotional gain. Let’s begin to talk about this man we falsely sent to cecot, only to shift to a murdered white woman from a completely different illegal immigrant, and question why that is ok for dems to allow and how the White House thinks it’s bad the media keeps asking about the other guy and wants him back, even though SCOTUS ruled twice he needs to be returned.
I wonder how much she sold her soul for?

"I'm just following orders" wasn't sufficient during the Nuremberg trials, and shouldn't be here, either.

“The president has long said that it would be an abuse of power for a president to direct prosecutors to investigate him. Last week, President Trump explicitly directed the Justice Department to scrutinize Chris Krebs to see if it can find any evidence of criminal wrongdoing,” asked Swan. “How is that not an abuse of power, to direct the Justice Department to look into an individual—a named individual?”
“Look, the president signed that executive order. It’s the position of the president in this White House that it’s well within his authority to do it, otherwise he wouldn’t have signed it. And he signed it, and that’s his policy,” Leavitt said.
According to Leavitt’s logic, Trump’s order to investigate Krebs was not an “abuse of power” for the simple fact that Trump was the one doing it. It doesn’t get more authoritarian than that.
