"The White House has exercised extraordinary control over the Justice Department,
with prosecutors pressured to investigate and prosecute the president’s enemies,

"The vast majority of those who left the department over the past year quit or retired
to avoid being caught up in the chaos, for fear they would be targeted or asked to do
things they believed to be improper, or contrary to their beliefs."
