Prosecutors Drop Charges Against GOP Lawmaker​


Federal prosecutors have officially dropped all charges against former GOP lawmaker Carolina Amesty after uncovering exculpatory evidence that cleared her of wrongdoing. Her attorney, Brad Bondi, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s brother, confirmed the investigation’s closure and praised the justice system for recognizing the facts. Amesty had previously been charged for misusing $122,000 in COVID relief loans.

A GQP thief gets away with stealing because her lawyer is Pam Bondi's brother.

This is extraordinarily inappropriate.

Brad Bondi needs to be disbarred.

On what grounds? Your opinion?

More baseless reich-wing denial.

This was nothing more than case-fixing by Bondi.
 
We are a lawless nation. You might want to internalize that truth.
 
Imagine being so desperate that you complain that you can't convict your political enemies of crimes for which they've been proven innocent.

Even you can see how this looks bad right? Never mind

It does look bad. If a person is prosecuted for a "crime" in which there is "substantial evidence" that she didn't commit then yes, that's bad.

Bondi is well known for taking bribes.

Her brother tried a case in which she has subject matter authority.

This is absolutely inappropriate.

The Trump Foundation-Pam Bondi scandal - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

In March 2016, CREW discovered that the Trump Foundation had broken the law by giving an illegal $25,000 contribution to a political group supporting Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. This would set off an investigation which would lead to one of the biggest stories of the year. Here’s how it...

The woman is absolutely corrupt. The evidence supports my conclusion.

Can you say the same?

She hadn't been proven anything. That would require a court room and a judge and jury. Her charges were dropped very suspiciously I might add. At the very least, her attorney should have recused because of his relationship to the AG.

Ethics are no longer a concern for the GQP.
 
So liberal groups filed ridiculous complaints against Bondi and you call that "evidence".

We get it, you hate Bondi and anyone else remotely associated with Trump. Your hatred (and that of the people that feed your hatred) isn't evidence of anything untoward and the fact that you spin EVERYTHING into a negative against those you hate belies a political focus and bias that just might be unhealthy.

Yes. Anything that smacks of actual justice MUST be a conspiracy.

FWIW, this whole case seems to be with regard to the EIDL which was a COVID era loan program. All funds need to be paid back by the borrower so I'm not sure where "stealing" even came in to this. The tiny bit of information that was available seems to indicate that the charge was with regard to a false application but that should be pretty easy to sort out and, apparently, it has been.
 
This is what she was charged for:

She's one of the many people that took that money and used it for anything she wanted. Maybe you're fine with all of that, I'm not.
 
They think this is owning the libs so of course they are good with it.
They will flush this country down the drain to own the libs.
 
According to the article you posted she was charged before her lawyers could present any evidence. That's pretty shitty and any ethical prosecutor would hold off on charges until there was a full investigation. The whole thing smacks of exactly what she said it does, political persecution.
 
Corruption seems to run in the Bondi family. No wonder Trump wanted Pam as his AG.

And why isn't the Republican House committee interested in questioning Alex Acosta?

FFS, do you people EVER get tired pushing your bullshit narratives? I mean, I have never seen so many people so completely invested in their own bullshit in my life.
 
Sure, every politician that gets busted claims political persecution, only the guidable typically believe it.
 

That's why Trump picked her.
 
Wait a minute. How do you get from she had charges filed against her to hatred? That's pretty big leap.

Maybe she perpetrated wrongdoing. It needs to be considered. She's had a lot of shaky goings-on.

She made a huge donation to Trump's campaign and then she becomes AG? That smells of corruption right there. It's like Trump sold the position.
