And then refer it Kash Patel, so he can investigate Kash Patel

I'm starting to think we need a Constitutional Amendment to create a "DoJ" branch of government, wherein we vote the leaders in, but there's no political parties intrinsic to the process, and instead of an AG there's a panel of like 15 of them, created through ranked choice voting or similar.

Trump's complete corruption of DoJ has pretty much proven the current system of Executive Branch control of DoJ is no longer viable, IMHO.
