NEW YORK, Feb 5 (Reuters) - For two weeks President Donald Trump's new administration has been racing to remake the Justice Department tasked with U.S. law enforcement. Leading the overhaul is Emil Bove, a lawyer who defended Trump in a criminal case stemming from hush money paid to a porn star.
Bove, 43, stayed largely in the background during last year's criminal trial, letting his co-counsel address the jury while their client, then a candidate for the White House, spoke to news cameras in the courtroom hallway.
Now as acting deputy attorney general, Bove has been front and center, signing his name to bold policy changes meant to remove what Trump calls political bias but which critics say threaten DOJ's traditional independence from the White House. "If you want somebody who's going to hit the ground running, he's the guy," said Brendan Quigley, who in 2016 alongside Bove secured the trial conviction of two nephews of Venezuela's first lady on drug trafficking charges at the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, which includes Manhattan.

Rest assured, The BiXiden White House was not insulated from The Meritless Garland, nor the rest of the DOJ.

For once, I read an entire Reuters article. It was glorious. I think they mean it to be negative, though. (Strangely, they didn’t doctor the pictures with fake smoke.)
