“Republican and Democrat — now, the Democrat presidents can accept it because they’re going to do their bidding, but all Republican presidents in our recent lifetime have accepted the canard that the DOJ and FBI are ‘independent,’ and independent means they’re not accountable to anybody.” “These are the people that have guns, they can put you in jail. Those are not the people that you want to not have accountability,” DeSantis said. “They are not independent agencies, they are executive Branch agencies that report to the elected president of the United States, and the president has got to hold those agencies accountable for their conduct and hold them accountable for abusing their power.” Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who served in the George W. Bush administration, disputed claims that the Justice Department was biased against Republicans in an Aug. 8 Washington Post op-ed. Former Attorney General William Barr and former Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey have also claimed that the Justice Department has not been weaponized.Of course, the DOJ and the FBI have been weaponized. Denying that is to deny reality.
