An Elected Attorney General and an Independent Justice Department

Let the People Decide

Let the people decide who should enforce our laws. An independent elected Attorney General would no longer be the President's puppet, crony or brother. An independent Attorney General would appoint all of the U.S. attorneys without any political assistance from the President or senators. An independent Justice Department and an independent FBI would investigate alleged crimes committed by occupants of the White House without fear of being fired and would improve the public's level of confidence in the fairness of the legal system.
