Nor did they care when Holder's actions led to the murder of two Border Patrol agents...and Obama shielded the DOJ documents by using executive privilege.
The DOJ is the political nerve center of Fed.gov. Every President has a loyalist in the job to protect their flanks and carry out political operations. JFK had his own brother (Joe Sr. insisted). Reagan had his old friend Meese. Clinton had Reno and of course, Obama had fellow travelers (he made sure they were black, too) who made the DOJ Obama's political operations center for CAIR, for #BLM movement, for Ferguson and for every political scheme he had
Trump was not allowed to have a loyalist. That's why Sessions was forced on him.
