under donald trump, the u.s. justice department was corrupted in multiple cases. trump didn t just want to do that he didn t just expressed a desire to do it. under bill barr, he did it because there were justice department officials who did it. who went along and took the calls, took the instructions, who squashed the stuff that white house wanted lawlessly quashed, who force the stuff that they wanted lawlessly forced. that can t stand as precedent. the u.s. justice department is too important. its credibility is to irreplaceable. that misbehavior during the trump era at the u.s. justice department has to be cleaned up. has to be found out, ferreted out, punished and cleaned out and come clean or the justice department will be used that way again by the next corrupt president who sees what happened under bill barr and the former guy as a legacy of corruption that you can build on and trust me it will happen. the job of cleaning up a
corrupted u.s. justice department is a terrible one and a really hard one. but it is a necessity for all the obvious reasons. you can t just wish that stuff didn t happen and agree that under your leadership it won t happen again. it s a terrible job. a really hard job, but it must be done. you can t leave that stuff unpunished because it becomes precedent and we knew that job would be hard no matter who president biden picked to be his attorney general, but i m not we sure we knew to expect that some of the worst stuff from the trump era justice department or the other justice department would not only be corrected in terms of accountability it would be continued under the new biden administration. we knew it had to be cleaned up. we hoped it would be cleaned up and i don t think anybody expected it would be continued. we re gonna have more on the

letting all this stuff slide is not only not going to stop it from happening now but it s not a way to stop it from happening again and i do absolutely and an cynically get the poetry that goes around comes around karma of putting merrick garland at the justice department after what happened to him not getting on the supreme court. but under merrick garland, the justice department so far is able on all of the scariest things that confront them right now. how long does that last? how long can it last honestly? morehead, stay with us. n with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein. common love isn t for us boost® high protein also has key nutrients
