Arguably since the 70s, when famously Richard Nixon asked his attorney general to fire the special prosecutor who was investigating the Watergate break-in.

He went down to the career prosecutors in Washington. who work in the public integrity section of the Justice Department. Now, that's the section that does the most politically sensitive investigations. And he tried to ask them to file the motion to dismiss, and they too refused and resigned.

Then he went to the next level of management when the two top people there had refused to follow his order, and those three also resigned.

It gets to the point where you question who's there left to say no. If there's an order given that might not comport with the law. And I think that's what people are questioning right now.
