Here's part of the detention memo for one of the people Pam Bondi let go free in MN while she focuses on Don Lemon and her felony-turned-misdemeanor spitting cases.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The defendant is no stranger to law enforcement and the courts. His past criminal record fills 10 pages of the bail report and reads like the index to the Minnesota Criminal Code. Over a span of 30 years, the defendant has garnered convictions for reckless endangerment, possession of a short-barrel shotgun, providing false information to law enforcement (seven times), possession of a controlled substance, third-degree drug offense, disorderly conduct (two times), driving under the influence (two times), possession of stolen property, ingesting a controlled substance, shoplifting (three times), theft (four times), involvement in a traffic accident resulting in injury or death, criminal vehicular homicide, aggravated assault, terrorizing, preventing an arrest, unlawful possession of marijuana, domestic assault by strangulation, a pharmacy offense, criminal trespass, third-degree assault resulting in substantial bodily harm, fifth-degree possession, and several vehicle related offenses. Doc. 4. By the government’s count, the defendant has over 30 criminal convictions, at least a dozen of which were for felony offenses. Moreover, he has approximately 22 failures to appear, 10 probation violations, and four occasions of absconding from supervision. Id. Several of the defendant’s crimes involve extreme violence. For example, at the age of 16, the defendant placed a short-barreled shotgun under the chin of a victim and then discharged the weapon and said to others, “If I get arrested, I’m going to kill you.” Doc. 4 at 2. Twenty-two years later, at the age of 38, the defendant was convicted for beating, kicking, and strangling a woman who was eight months pregnant while her seven-monthold child was lying nearby. Id. at 6. A few years later, in 2020, the defendant was convicted of repeatedly striking his sister in the face. Id. at 8.

Committee Democratic staff have worked with whistleblowers and ethical cybersecurity experts and identified additional concerns with DOGE’s interference at OPM. Experts have shown evidence raising concerns of potential Russian and Chinese access to OPM servers shortly after DOGE created the government-wide email infrastructure. Separately, information received by Committee Democratic staff indicated that DOGE employees lowered all firewall protections at OPM to enable the exfiltration of data for use outside of a government environment. Each of these instances raises serious questions about national security as OPM holds sensitive government operations data that adversarial state and non-state actors could use for leverage over

Retribution is.
