8. They are about 0 for 30 on high profile cases, but that's not the point.

The term "weaponizing" has been overused so much that it has mostly lost its original meaning. But in this case, weaponizing the judicial system is exactly the point.

They are not trying to win any of these cases. They know these are absurd cases. Their goal is to intimidate, slander, stall, redirect, extort, and when those things fail, they at least want to punish people financially. The taxpayers pay Bondi's salary and the salaries of all the prosecutors, so what do they care? Who is paying Mark Kelly's legal costs (and all the others who have suffered this weaponization)?

That is the point. It isn't stupid. It is evil and impeachable, but not stupid. And it isn't really impeachable; because Republicans know that if they try to do the right thing, these same weapons will be used against them.

Where is the Bar Association? The people using our judicial system this was should all be disbarred from their profession for life.
