"One of the terrific things about the Department of Justice is that it has a long and bipartisan tradition of remaining above the fray from partisan politics, of demonstrating a fidelity to law."

"I was hopeful when he was appointed that he would carry that reputation forward as Attorney General. It has saddened me greatly that he has not done so."

"is it consistent with fairly and impartially enforcing the law to have an investigation into the abuse of power by the IRS headed by a major Democratic donor?"

"there are many of us who are alumni of the Department of Justice, who have most respected the Department."
