“It is important for the DOJ to maintain independence from a president
That is one of the dumbest things I have read today. Neither the Justice Department or the FBI are independent, they work for the President period. “
No, just like the President, they work for the American people, with the purpose and responsibility to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States. Sessions did not swear an oath to defend Donald Trump, but rather to “defend the Constitution of the United States”.
He still has a boss, that being the President.
