Democrats say that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s massive overhaul of the Justice Department “will take decades to recover from,” in the wake of a contentious Senate hearing with Bondi this week.

Bondi’s defensive and combative attitude during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday, in which she repeatedly refused to answer Democrats’ questions, has left many concerned about the future of the department.

Under Bondi’s leadership, more than 4,500 Justice Department employees have left, task forces dedicated to probing criminal activity have been disbanded, resources have been re-allocated to support Trump’s targeting of political opponents and more.

That's ... literally the point.

Republicans destroy government so they can point to the government and say "this doesn't work, pay me to run it in the private sector and vote for me so I can fix it." Then they just break more stuff every time Americans are stupid enough to put them back in charge.

You missed the part where they have a gun to everyone's head.
