Letitia James whips out receipts of Bondi's losses before crucial bid to invalidate Trump 'revenge' subpoenas

New York Attorney General Letitia James took it upon herself to tell a federal judge — for the jurist's "convenience" ahead of a key hearing to shut down grand jury subpoenas — that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has lost in court multiple times and should meet the same fate for essentially the same deficiencies.

In a notice of supplemental authority, filed Tuesday for Senior U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield's review, the Democratic AG noted that Bondi's appointments of both interim and acting U.S. attorneys have been repeatedly smacked down by the courts and that acting U.S. Attorney John Sarcone's subpoenas for documents should also fail.

Schofield, a Barack Obama appointee, set a hearing for 11 a.m. on Thursday regarding James' motion to quash Sarcone's grand jury subpoenas — the DOJ investigation of the New York attorney general's investigations. The judge said oral arguments would be "limited to the issue of whether Mr. Sarcone's allegedly improper appointment as Acting U.S. Attorney invalidates the subpoenas."

In the motion to quash from August, James said Sarcone's subpoenas for documents on her civil fraud lawsuit against President Donald Trump and his family business and on her lawsuit against the NRA are little more than "revenge" — "because the President is unhappy that [her office] successfully enforced the laws of the State of New York against him and his allies."

to not know and acknowledge Bondi's horrible track record. I'll guess that district, circuit, and appeals courts are even more aware of this DoJ's malfeasance and incompetence.
