It has a long tradition of independent special prosecutors to handle high-profile or often political cases.
If you got credible evidence of a criminal violation by a White House official, including even the president, would you bring in a special prosecutor?
Attorney General, do you think special counsels need to be confirmed by the Senate?
But you did sign an 11th Circuit brief arguing that they should be.
Understood.
But I was just getting to the clarity about the difference between a position you've advocated and what the current law is.
Thank you for that.
Look, bluntly to me, refusing to answer a hypothetical when there is clear and concrete previous history raises some concerns for me.
I think Chris Wray has done an outstanding job as FBI director at avoiding political pressure.
And although he was chosen by President Trump, he's being driven out so that he can be replaced.
My perception, I've not yet met with Mr. Patel by a loyalist who has publicly said he will do what the president asks him.
Given that Attorney General Barr was asked to go find evidence of election interference and improprieties,
went and looked for the evidence and said, I can't find any, and was then dismissed.
I'm just going to ask you one last time.
Can you clarify for me that in following ethics in the law, you'd be willing to resign if ordered to do something improper?
Whoa, watch.
As we discussed, protecting American invention and innovation, American intellectual property.
is a real concern of mine and of several others on this committee.
I look forward to talking with you about that pressing concern.
But the most important question I had for you today is whether you will be willing and able to stand up to politicization and interference in the Department of Justice.
