POTUS and the AG are so painfully bent on avoiding the appearance of political motivations, it's sad.
They need to speak out firmly defending their integrity, professionalism, and the rule of law. We need Presidents and AGs to make the right decisions for the Country - not contract out all the sticky stuff to a "special counsel" to avoid embracing the responsibility of your job.
What could possibly happen? The GOP might say it's unfair? Oh wait, . . .that's already happened.
