'Difficult path': Pam Bondi said to be facing 'mission impossible' to make Trump happy
According to NBC national security analyst David Rohde Donald Trump's attorney general nominee, Pam Bondi is on a smooth path to being confirmed by the Senate but after that is when her real problems will begin.
Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Rohde was asked by co-host Willie Geist how things are going for the president-elect's nominees after hearings started this week and he replied that Bondi and secretary of defense nominee Pete Hegseth both demonstrated how their strings are being pulled by Trump.
"I think she has the votes here in the end but you're seeing the beginning of the sort of mission impossible I think Pam Bondi faces," he told Geist. "And Hegseth, you saw this also. They have to say what Donald Trump wants to hear, they can't say that Joe Biden won the election."

"You know at the same time, she's trying to say she's not going to abuse her powers," he continued. "And so Trump is expecting investigations and prosecutions, and she's going to have a hard time building cases that actually show that."
"And then this enemies list issue was stunning," he elaborated. "Kash Patel is the nominee to be the FBI's director; he wrote a nearly 300-page book filled with allegations that there are all these deep state bureaucrats committing crimes and then there is an appendix that we've talked about with the names of 60 people that's titled 'members of the deep state in the executive branch.' So that is a de facto enemies list."
"And these are all the issues she's going to face," he added before pointing out Trump's previous appointees as attorney general ended up butting heads with him when he made demands and then stating, "So this is going to be a very difficult path ahead for Pam Bondi."
