Colleague Pam Bondi discusses Trump’s AG election results so far

Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parkerwho worked hand-in-hand with Trump’s pick for attorney general, said Pam Bondi is a “woman of integrity” who, if confirmed, would prosecute fairly and uphold the U.S. Constitution.

Parker told Fox News Digital that she worked with Bondi after Stoneman Douglas massacre in February 2018 in Parkland, Florida, which took the lives of 17 students. She noted that Bondi’s “tender heart” and boots-on-the-ground attitude helped the community during the tragic mass shooting.

“At the time, Pam was working as the U.S. Attorney, and I was an FBI special agent assigned to the Violent Crimes Unit. And I responded to this tragic, absolutely heartbreaking incident, and Pam Bondi went to South Florida as quickly as possible , and she was there for her constituents in this dark time of need,” she said.

“What really inspired and touched me about Pam is that she has a very tender heart and a lot of compassion, and she genuinely cares about the people she serves,” Parker said. “She has this very fine and delicate balance between being very tough and strong, but also having a soul and compassion and concern for the victims she helps.”

Parker pointed to Bondi’s years of experience as Florida’s top cop, saying “her number one goal is to serve and protect the American people.”

“Based on her experience in Florida, it’s very clear to me that she’s going to be tough on crime and make America safe again. And her loyalty, No. 1, is to the Constitution and to the truth,” she said. . “And that’s what we need in an attorney general. She doesn’t just say what needs to be said to get where she needs to go. No, she’s a woman of integrity and she’ll stand up for what’s true.”

Bondi is a Trump loyalist with close ties to the president-elect and has been with him since his first term. She also represented Trump during his first recallwho was one of his lawyers and remains a vocal advocate.

On Wednesday, many of Bond’s questions were about the degree of loyalty he has to the incoming president. Parker spoke of Bond’s personal integrity and class, which she believes will be hallmarks of her cabinet role if confirmed.

“Based on my personal experience with her, she’s a woman of integrity. She’s a woman of class. She’s brilliant. She’s smart. She’s kind, she’s compassionate and she genuinely cares,” she said. “And I think he’s doing the right thing for the right reasons. And I think he’s going to do a fantastic job as always.”

“Based on my personal experience with her, she is a woman of integrity. She is a woman of class.”

Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department vowed at her congressional hearing to end the weaponization of the justice system, saying she “will not target people” based on their political affiliation.

“I think that’s the whole problem with the weaponization that we’ve seen over the last four years and what’s happening with Donald Trump,” Bondi said. “They targeted Donald Trump. They went after him, in fact, starting in 2016, they targeted his campaign. They launched countless investigations against him. That won’t be the case if I’m the attorney general. I’m not going to politicize that office. I’m not going to to target people simply because of their political affiliation.”

Parker echoed Bondi’s words, telling Fox News Digital that she will “stand up for what’s right.”

“I think that’s something, unfortunately, lately, especially in this administration,” she said. “I know this for myself, because we worked for the FBI, we applied to the Department of Justice and [current Attorney General] Merrick Garland, and the goal seemed to suit this current administration better. And I was very surprised by some of the questions from the Democrats because they talked about their concern that she might politicize the Justice Department. And I thought, ‘Where have you been for the last four years?’ Ministry of Justice is politicized on a level I’ve never seen before, and I’ve been with the FBI for almost 13 years.”

“We are sick and tired of this two-tier justice system. Americans just want fairness,” Parker said. “They want Lady Justice to be blind again. And they want an attorney general who will enforce the law equally and fairly.”

Parker said she believes that if confirmed, Bondi will prioritize cracking down about human traffickersviolent crime, counter-terrorism and illegal drug use plaguing the nation.

“She’s walking into a situation where, in my opinion, the Department of Justice has been focused on a lot of the wrong priorities for the last several years,” she said. “We have to stop the political charade and we have to get back to protecting the people.”

TRUMP’S CHOICE AG HAS A ‘HISTORY OF CONSENSUS BUILDING’

“I think she has a very clear vision and understanding of her goals and priorities,” Parker said of Bondi. “And I think she’s made it very clear that she’s not there to push people’s political and social agendas like we’ve seen in the past.”

She also noted that attorneys general are “craving strong leadership” and want to see a resurgence of confidence in the top prosecutorial agencies.

“I appreciate Bondi’s unequivocally expressing her gratitude to the excellent agents, law enforcement officers who honorably perform their duties and put their lives on the line every day to protect Americans and uphold the Constitution. I have worked side by side with some excellent prosecutors and agents who tirelessly they work behind the scenes,” Parker said.
