Yes, it did seem to me like she was on board with that agenda completely. I mean, she said things like politics won't play a role in my decisions and I'll be the one making the decisions, not the White House.

But throughout the hearing, she basically echoed the central criticisms that Trump has been saying time and time again, that the Justice Department was turned into a crudgel to go after him. She certainly shares that view. There's basically no daylight between them in terms of you know, the types of changes that they think need to be made to this institution.

I mean, people inside the Justice Department, the career employees, are scared. You know, they're worried for their own jobs, but they're also feeling very angry and disappointed that the work that they've done over the past four years and beyond is... bit by bit, just being totally undone. And I think you saw that with the January 6th pardons.

People who pursued those cases, who were detailed from other cities to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C. for years to pursue those cases are now seeing the effects of their work washed away to some extent. And so I think there's just a lot of bad feeling within the Bureau. Interesting.

Yeah, I mean, there's always some growing pains and some changes that take place when a Republican administration comes after a Democrat and vice versa. I mean, the priorities of these parties are just different. And so, you know, there's always some movement. But this is really, really striking. And it's more intense and more poignant than it was during Trump's first administration term.

And I just think there's a lot less concern being paid to can we do this? It's more just like, let's do it.

And given what we've seen in the first few days in office, he seems more determined now than ever to bend the Justice Department to his will. And so what I will be watching for, of course, are signs of when senior Justice Department officials
