Yes, MSNBC host @NicolleDWallace - who was doing messaging work for Bush/Cheney when their DOJ was run by John Ashcroft and John Yoo justifying the most grotesque crimes on the ground that the President is omnipotent & immune from law - is profoundly worried about DOJ integrity:
Trump is not the inventor of an omnipotent presidency immune from law. He's the inheritor of that model, built over decades by both parties. Many of us spent years warning its advocates that one day these powers would be wielded by someone they didn't like washingtonpost.com/posteverything…
Particularly since 9/11, both parties have joined to construct a model of the executive utterly foreign to the founding: one of omnipotence, lawlessness, and unaccountability. The *last* people with the credibility to object are Bush WH & DOJ officials: glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/2006/01/ideolo…
