The Attorney General who has been under fire by the president quite a bit has release his own statement pushing back on the president. This is consequence because the Attorney General did this right as he was going to the white house to meet with the president on criminal sentencing. Here is what he said. While i am Attorney General, the actions of the Department Of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political conversations. I demand the highest standards and where they are not met i take action. However, no nation has a more talented, more dedicated group of Law Enforcement investigators and prosecutors than the United States. I am proud to serve with them and proud of the work we have done in successfully advancing the rule of law. Just another note. I spoke with the doj official after that statement came out, asked what the mood is at the doj, and the person said
overwhelmingly people in 1998 said yes, the president of the united states is guilty of a crime. should he be removed from office? overwhelmingly, the answer the voters gave was no. they needed democrats if they wanted to throw clinton out and convict them. democrats saw those numbers and said safe to stay with the president and bill clinton survived. let s takie impeachment out for a moment. president clinton, 66 approval as you said. president trump, and we will see it in a moment, here it is, donald trump 42% right now. why is there such a disparity between their popularity? is it because i mean, listen, donald trump has been plagued by controversy. he has been accused of being a rays racist, zeno phobe, et cetera. the context, obviously, this is latest trump story hitting after endless controversy since he became a candidate really.
