John — In a
few moments, I’m going to explain why the hyper-politicization of the
Justice Department has a dramatic, negative effect on everyone in this
country.

But to properly demonstrate the impacts, I want to tell you a story first:

One of the unique cases I took on as a young Assistant U.S. Attorney
involved a corporation that hired toxic waste haulers to smuggle hazardous
materials across the border into Mexico.

The U.S. government had just put in place additional environmental rules
to protect our drinking water and our communities. This made it much
harder to dump chemicals and toxic waste in the U.S. and was critical for
water safety.

A U.S. company paid the haulers to smuggle the waste across the border and
dump it in Mexico. We found dozens of drums that used to carry this
hazardous waste there, from paints to flammable solvents and other toxic
materials.

We also intercepted a fair amount of other cargo intended to be dumped.
Unfortunately, people living in these areas emptied the drums, filled them
with water, and washed clothes in them. It was dangerous, and we needed to
take action.

As an Assistant U.S. Attorney, I took on this waste dumping corporation —
and won.

It was the first federal prosecution for across-the-border toxic waste
dumping ever. It set an important precedent: that no company, big or
small, could avoid accountability when harming our planet and putting the
health of communities at risk, both at home and abroad.

But if the Trump Administration succeeds at its goal of turning the
Justice Department into a tool to go after political enemies, then the
department might not be able to pursue cases like this. And might even
look the other way.

If Attorney General Pam Bondi directs young prosecutors to target Trump’s
rivals, then the Justice Department may not have the capacity to go after
corporations breaking the rules and putting people in harm’s way.

If the EPA rolls back climate protections, millions of Californians and
Americans are at risk of toxic material exposure.

If Trump and Musk lay off career civil servants, we lose decades of
expertise in vital departments that keep our federal government running.

All of this is at risk because Donald Trump wants to use the federal
government to go after his opponents. He views the Justice Department as
his own legal counsel — and we can’t let him.

John, I will work
to make sure the Justice Department remains a neutral arbiter of the rule
of law. I will do everything I can to make sure the Justice Department
pursues exactly what it’s meant to — justice.
