Hey there,
According to The Hill, it was the D.C. Department of Justice office that “played a central role in DOJ’s request to drop charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.” That dismissal of charges, charges to which Flynn had already pled guilty, is what prompted Barack Obama to warn Americans that “the rule of law is at risk.”
The D.C. office also requested a lenient sentence for Roger Stone, the self-proclaimed “dirty trickster” and Trump advisor who was convicted of lying to Congress, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering.
Now, Trump has picked a new attorney to serve permanently as his personal “fixer” in the D.C. DOJ office. His name is Justin Herdman -- but if history is any guide, he’ll really just be another yes man for Trump. And while we and President Obama are concerned about Trump’s attacks on justice, almost 44% of voters still approve of the job Trump is doing. Tell us what you think:
