it s an amazing statement. it calls her an obama administration appointee who is weak on borders, weak on illegal immigration. i mean, it feels like something president trump wrote on the back of a napkin and handed to someone. it doesn t feel like this is how we talk about the most senior lawyer in the justice department. the justice department obviously is an agency that we expect to be politically independent, even though it s got political appointees at its upper echelons and this is something we fight about a lot as a country. i think about the slings and arrows born by people like eric holder, janet reno, people like jen ashcrof, people on the other side of the aisle saw them as public enemy number two, public enemy number one was the president. but despite that, the justice department does represent law enforcement in this country, does have to at least not only be seen as an independent agency
