Conservatives aren’t interested in turning DOJ into a presidential toy, but we also reject the idea that the bureaucracy is beyond scrutiny. The real issue is whether DOJ follows rule of law, applies standards evenly, and earns public trust after years of selective outrage and media-approved narratives.
If Swalwell thinks specific actions are wrong, name them, document them, and argue for a consistent standard. What matters is equal justice, institutional credibility, and the basic expectation that prosecutors serve the country, not a political class.
