The article criticizes the current Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi for appearing to prioritize Donald Trump's personal interests over its traditional role. The memo indicates a concerning shift, where appointed officials with personal ties to Trump, including his impeachment lawyer, now dominate the DOJ. This raises alarms about the department's independence and role as an impartial institution, suggesting it may be acting more like a legal service for the president rather than the public. The author calls for transparency and warns against the eroding checks on executive power.
While this step is brazen, it's not necessarily unexpected. At this point, everyone running the DOJ actually are Trump's personal lawyers.
Even after stacking the DOJ with personal cronies, calling them 'his lawyers' out loud delivers a Constitutional Law jump scare.
