Considering the DOJ is supposed to operate independently of the executive branch, this is quite literally appalling.
But not surprising, unfortunately.
Edit to clarify that I used “Executive Branch” loosely. I meant that the DOJ is not supposed to be a judicial weapon for the sitting president and his lackeys to punish those they deem inferior or a threat to their personal and financial gain, or to protect them from being punished for the crimes they have committed against citizens of the United States.
