Using the Department of Justice as a tool for political retribution is detrimental to the institution, regardless of which party is doing it.

“For America, it is not in fact a very good thing for the DOJ to be widely perceived and indeed used as a political tool.”

Allison Gill believes the Department of Justice exhibits chronic incompetence and obstructionism regarding the handling of grand jury records in the Jim Comey case.

“This is the third time in this case that the Department of Justice has failed to fully hand over the grand jury transcripts. The first time they just didn't turn any anything over. Then the judge said, "Give me the grand jury transcripts." and they gave just the FBI agent testimony transcript.”

The Trump administration is intentionally dismantling the Justice Department to replace the rule of law with a system of corruption and rigged accountability.

“I think she there there's an intentional uh desire by the Trump regime to take the DOJ and turn it upside down where people don't know how for it to f for it to function.”

The presence of long-term career employees within the federal government creates persistent bureaucratic roadblocks that are difficult for new administrations to oversee.

“These are career people. When we talk about career people in the federal government, these are people who have been there a decade, two decades, three decades. And they're throwing up every possible roadblock that they can. It is what they do.”
