Trump's Attorney General Destroys DOJ's Independence!

Donald Trump's flunky, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has sure taken a play out of Donald Trump's playbook regarding how to undermine the rule of law. Just say it out loud - announce your wrongdoing in the harsh light of day - so maybe people will think there's nothing wrong with what you're planning to do. But there is so much wrong with Todd Blanche's attempted destruction of the independence of the Department of Justice. His latest wrongdoing? He said the DOJ will start taking criminal referrals DIRECTLY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE! This is exactly the kind of corruption and abuse of power that we saw with Richard Nixon during the Watergate era. In fact, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, guardrails were put in place to prevent a president from being able to use the DOJ to go after his perceived foes. Todd Blanche has proudly announced he is tearing down those guardrails. He should probable remember that Nixon's attorney General, John Mitchel, went to prison for the corruption that defined Nixon's presidency.
