It’s quite literally why in previous times, when we weren’t neck deep in fascists, the DOJ was supposed to be INDEPENDENT from the executive branch, not run by his personal fucking lawyer

Republicans used to pitch a major bitch when it even smelled like the president and AG were friendly, now it’s expected that the AG works as the presidents attack dog… It’s exactly why we’re so fucked. There’s no teeth to the supposed checks against the president if the DOJ is in his pocket.
