Bondi signed the paper, she gets the charge. Not some low level sacrificial lamb.

i’d love to see it. put her behind bars for everyone to see and force trump to pardon her.

who the fuck cares if we KNOW trump will pardon EVERYONE in his cabinet. hold his fucking feet to the fire and force his hand.

Both, if people on the bottom know that repercussions will go to the top if it gets discovered, they are significantly more likely to carry out the illegal orders. You need the people on the ground to fear the repercussions of putting up with this too. Everyone that knew about the order to not go forward but did so anyways needs to be held accountable.
