‘He’ll Gut You Like a Trout’: Fox Analyst Offers Jaw-Dropping Endorsement of Pam Bondi’s Replacement

Fox News’ Jonathan Turley offered a jaw-dropping endorsement of Pam Bondi’s temporary replacement at the top of the Department of Justice on Thursday.

“I think that the president obviously is trying to prepare for what he sees as coming. And there’s a lot of unknowns there. I would say that when Chuck Schumer celebrates this, he should think again. Pam Bondi is still in good favor with not just the president, but most people in that party. She’s now a torpedo in the water. There’s a lot of places she could go, including running for office. So I wouldn’t celebrate too much if I were the minority leader in that sense,” mused Turley during a monologue on America Reports.

He continued:

In terms of who’s being considered, there’s various options. You have Jeanine Pirro, who is U.S. Attorney in D.C., very accomplished lawyer, very accomplished judge. Obviously, Lee Zeldin is very popular on the Hill. He would be someone who could really sort of grease the skids when you need things to move on the Hill in the area of the Justice Department. You have Todd Blanche himself who was a a partner in a world-class law firm, he was a prosecutor in what’s considered the top prosecution office, and he’s tough as nails.

In terms of confirmations, I think that Schumer’s hair would catch on fire if it was Todd Blanche because of his-, he was at the center of the Epstein files issue, but he’s also been at the president’s side throughout these battles. I think Zeldin would probably have the easiest of those, and possibly Pirro and others. But I think the president is primarily looking at as he has his whole career, if I make a personnel change, can I sort of spur this along? And each of these people have a skillset. Todd Blanche is a tough guy. He’ll gut you like a trout without even changing his expression. He’s a litigator. I mean, he’s been in the tough fights, and you can count on that. Zeldin is someone who’s able to avoid fights, but he’s also able to finish them. And Pirro and others have a track record with the president that is proven. She’s been an outstanding U.S. Attorney.
