More from the article...

... If successful, the overhaul could represent one of the most consequential actions of a second Trump presidency given the Justice Department's role in protecting democratic institutions and upholding the rule of law.

It would also mark a dramatic departure from the department's mission statement, opens new tab, which identifies "independence and impartiality" as core values. ...

@#2 ... How is that any different then what's going on now? ...

What is going on now?

... turn the nation's top law enforcement body into an attack dog for conservative causes ...

This looks like yet another example of Republicans doing what they falsely accuse Democrats of doing.

@#12 ... the way to counter Dem abuse of these agencies. ...

An assertion without substantiation.

What's yer current alias got?

@#15 ... Attorney General Eric Holder brushed off a question Thursday about when he might leave the administration. Instead, the top lawman professed his allegiance to President Barack Obama.

"I'm still enjoying what I'm doing, there's still work to be done. I'm still the President's wing-man, so I'm there with my boy. So we'll see," Holder said in an interview on the Tom Joyner radio show. ...

... Why is it in question? ...

Simply because the article your current alias cites does not say anything about, as the thread summary states... "...Some of Donald Trump's allies are assembling proposals to curtail the Justice Department's independence and turn the nation's top law enforcement body into an attack dog for conservative causes, nine people involved in the effort told Reuters. ..."

So, where are the links your current alias can post about Democrats saying they want to turn the DoJ into an attack dog?

In comparison, the comment your current alias cites from Mr Holder, seems to be quite benign. Doncha think?

fwiw, I had been curious about the absence of those two aliases on this thread.

Then, suddenly, they both appear, with one (#15) apparently trying to prop up the other (#12).

Curious.

@#19 ... a fringe website serving what, 100 people? ...

My view....

Do not confuse those who post with those who read.

The readership of this site is beyond, way beyond, those who post here.

And that is all I will say about that.

#21 ... And how many of those are Jeff's sock puppets? ...

All I'll say is the following --- do not trivialize the readership of this most august site.

@#25 ... Yet the jackass still can't point to a single Trump indictment he could do without fear of legal repercussions. ...

Exactly.

And that is why fmr Pres Trump is attempting to try his cases in the court of public opinion instead of the Court of Law.

@#19 ... Pathetic doesn't begin to describe it if they are 1 in the same ...

So... how will those current aliases try to recover from that apparent faux pas?
