In a stunning series of moves, newly appointed Attorney General Pamela Bondi has unleashed a sweeping overhaul of the Justice Department, delivering a fatal blow to several Obama-Biden era enforcement priorities.
SHOCKING DEVELOPMENTS:
- Anti-corruption units DISBANDED
- Corporate enforcement GUTTED
- War on cartels INTENSIFIED
- Local prosecutors UNLEASHED
The bombshell directives, released in a blitz of 14 memoranda, signal a seismic shift in DOJ’s focus. Gone are the days of targeting corporate America – Bondi’s DOJ is laser-focused on immigration, drug cartels, and human trafficking.
In perhaps the most dramatic move, Bondi has ELIMINATED the famous Task Force KleptoCapture and the National Security Division’s Corporate Enforcement Unit. The message is clear: Wall Street can breathe easier while drug lords should watch their backs.
“Total elimination” is the new battle cry against cartels like MS-13 and Tren De Aragua. Local prosecutors have been given unprecedented power to pursue cases without Washington’s blessing – a move experts say could unleash a wave of aggressive prosecutions.
MASSIVE POLICY REVERSALS:
- Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement REDIRECTED
- Anti-corruption initiatives TERMINATED
- Environmental justice programs SCRAPPED
- Death penalty moratorium LIFTED
But wait, there’s more! The AG has ordered a full-scale investigation into alleged “weaponization” of the DOJ under Biden, including the prosecution of former President Trump. A new working group will probe Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation and actions by New York prosecutors.
Corporate America should note: while resources are shifting away from business investigations, Bondi’s directive to pursue “the most serious readily provable offense” could mean bigger penalties when companies do get caught.
In a final twist, DEI programs are now in the crosshairs, with the Civil Rights Division ordered to “investigate, eliminate, and penalize” diversity initiatives in private companies receiving federal funds.
The clock is ticking on these changes – some are temporary 90-day measures. But one thing’s clear: the Justice Department Americans knew under Biden is gone. Welcome to Bondi’s DOJ.
