What a bunch of BS. The president directs the activities of the DOJ and that’s a crisis. This new concept that DOJ should be free from the president and congress is nothing less than flipping the finger to the constitution.

The President can direct an investigation to be started, or order one stopped. Period, end of discussion. If he does it for clearly corrupt reasons, congress has the power to impeach.

But there is no such thing as a DOJ that the president must not interact with.

Correct!

The DOJ is an extension of the President’s mission, and authority.

They are in a panic because the whole Fourth Branch concept/structure is under threat.

If DOJ is subject to Presidential authority, then so is the EPA, the IRS, every commission and study group, and all the rest of the rotten structure.

I bet that if you had the logs, of visits and phone
conversations, of zero and Holder, it would number in the thousands.!!!
