Reply to comment by PPQue6 in AP sources: Justice Dept. watchdog probing US Attorney Rachael Rollins by EgonEggnog

Have you noticed the DOJ since Trump has only targeted Democratic folks in the DOJ? I am very suspect about this investigation.

Isn’t the DOJ doing an active investigation on Trump right now?

Not the same group inside the DoJ

I’m confused then, so you’re upset they’re targeting Democrats since Trump, but since Trump the DOJ has literally been investigating Trump.

I’m not upset about anything. I was pointing out that different groups run entirely separately inside the DoJ pursue different agendas.

Did you know that different names indicate that different people are saying things?

That’s not true - there have definitely been investigations of Republicans too.

That said: I strongly suspect that the DOJ gets flooded with plausible reports/tips of improper activities by Dems - petty bullshit like this being a prime example.

They can’t just NOT investigate reliable reports because that would be politically biased, and then the GOP PR machine gets to leak the story.

It’s a cheap political attack, and fucks w the DOJ’s ability to focus on other, serious investigations, but doesn’t necessarily point to thinks being screwed up within the DOJ itself.

Which attorneys in the DOJ were Republicans that you are speaking of? Source? Dates of these investigations?

Paxton, Texas. Too many investigations to name, DOJ has played a role in several of them.

Ahh yea, do you know how long he has been under investigation? Many many years and nothing has happened. Which to me is pretty suspect
