"Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, 'same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.' Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That’s why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we had no case. No, I fired him, and there is a GREAT CASE, and many layers, and legal pundits, say so," Trump wrote. "[White House lawyer] Lindsey Halligan is a really good lawyer, and likes you, a lot."
The outrage flowed from all corners of social media.
Ex-prosecutor Ron Filipkowski said, "This is the most corrupt and disgusting thing I think I’ve ever seen from a president. A blatantly impeachable offense. Republicans in Congress will say and do nothing."
Gregg Nunziata wrote, "It's becoming increasingly untenable for principled, honorable, ethical conservative lawyers to continue serving in the Justice Department. That's a shocking truth and a dangerous state of affairs."
Yashar Ali of HuffPost wrote, "President Trump posts a public message to Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has been facing significant criticism from his base and from some inside the administration."
"The president pushes her to prosecute his enemies and also suggests that she allowed a liberal Trojan horse into the DOJ. The 'Lindsey' he’s referring to is Lindsey Halligan, I believe, his former personal attorney," Ali wrote. "Note how he says he’s reviewed 30 posts, it sounds like someone put together a compilation of criticism of Bondi and his administration on these matters to sway him."
Constitutional law professor Anthony Michael Kreis chimed in with, "The president ordering a prosecution notwithstanding the evidence, as assessed by United States attorney, is an affront to the rule of law."
MeidasTouch added, "Trump posts a deranged message to Pam Bondi pressuring her to prosecute his political enemies after a U.S. attorney quit because he refused to fabricate charges" before quoting the president saying, “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.”
Richard Hanania wrote, "It just keeps getting more insane. Trump apparently tried to send a DM to Pam Bondi essentially telling her that his enemies need to be prosecuted. Instead he posted it on Truth Social, and it’s now been deleted."
Ex-prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega said, "Absolutely everyone needs to read this. Please, people, spread it far and wide!"
