joyce, you are not prone to
saying things that are designed
to fear monger, but this is
different.
this is the united states
justice department which we all
understand is a branch of the
executive.
but what we have not understood
until this last week and maybe
we should have but we have not
understood the degree to which
bill barr is acting like donald
trump's attorney general as
opposed to the attorney general
of the united states.
>> i think that's right, ali.
although the "time" article is
not mine, i share those
sentiments.
i think the important thing for
people to understand is that
there should never be any
politically motivated
interference in the criminal
justice system.
the president can't use criminal
prosecutions as a political tool
to punish his perceived enemies
and to help his friends.
and the concern here is that is
what we're seeing with this doj
and it's worth pointing out that
something that prosecutors take
enormous care with is to avoid
not just improper actions,...
