Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee - Attorneys general serve at the pleasure of the presidents who appoint them Quoted Post: Mark Paoletta @MarkPaoletta - .@AGToddBlanche is 100% correct that DOJ is not independent and is in fact supervised by President Trump. ALL executive power flows from the President. Presidents George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson personally directed the initiation or termination of specific federal prosecutions. As Professor Sai Prakash, a former Justice Clarence Thomas clerk, has written in a compelling law review article, titled The Chief Prosecutor, “presidential control of official prosecutions was not something controversial (or worse yet, contrary to law) … The presidents understood that they were constitutionally empowered to direct official prosecutions. Presidents ordered prosecutions commenced and halted, sometimes doing both in the same case!” President George Washington personally ordered prosecutions of those involved in the Whiskey rebellion in 1792 and 1793. But after concluding that two men had not been involved in the Rebellion, Washington directly ordered the Pennsylvania federal district attorney to not pursue charges.
