I have said it before and will say it again. The DOJ is not now, nor has it ever been, independent. It is part of the Executive branch and is an arm of the president. It is no more independent than the DOD — and god knows that’s the last thing we would want . The president could order Barr to investigate and prosecute Hillary Clinton and it would be perfectly legal and constitutional.

Presidents, going back to the earliest days of the country have done so. Barr of course could refuse and resign. Eric Holder, under Obama politicized DOJ to unprecedented levels and even bragged that he was Obama’s wingman. I don’t recall anyone calling for his impeachment, certainly not Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler or Swalwell. They’re just hypocrites who know their party is doomed in the next election and so are tilting at windmills.

BTW I know that it would be better if Trump didn’t tweet in the middle of court cases. It is his right to do so but it just gives ignorant Dems a chance to clutch their pearls. Obama directed his DOJ to make sure that Hillary was not indicted and prosecuted, but he did it behind the scenes and the MSM were never going to investigate his corruption. I am not one of the people that thinks he should stop tweeting because that’s the reason that he can get his message out unfiltered by the media. However when it comes to criminal cases, wait until it’s over.
