He says stuff like this about the criminal justice system, right?
It sounds moderate.
It sounds kind.
Here we go.
The White House shouldn't be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants to prosecute.
The norm, the idea is that the attorney general is the people's lawyer.
The awesome power of the state.
You can't have a situation in which whoever's in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies.
The IRS under Barack Obama literally targeted Tea Party groups and pro-Israel groups.
In 2013, Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the United States, called himself Barack Obama's wingman.
Obama's sitting there saying that the AG can't be the consigliere for the president.
Here was Eric Holder, his AG, literally calling himself Obama's consigliere.
And as you will remember, you know, when Barack Obama says you cannot use the DOJ to target your political opposition.
I seem to recall Barack Obama's Democratic Party under Joe Biden, his vice president.
After Biden became president, he then used the DOJ to go after Donald Trump one million times.
Here's acting AG Todd Blanche explaining.
Okay, Barack Obama, in that same interview with Colbert, he then goes ahead and he talks about how he is worried for the Republican Party and the Democrats.
Again, he masquerades as a moderate.
That masquerade is the whole game for Democrats.
It's the whole game.
