      This story is about Comey, but it is a reminder that the Trump Cabinet pick that will deserve the most scrutiny - by far - is AG. 1/https://twitter.com/evanperez/status/798523898673426432 …

      Trump has already shown lack of respect for a cornerstone of our democracy: independence of DOJ prosecution powers from the White House. 2/

      AG's traditionally do not consult/discuss/take direction from the WH on investigations & prosecutions. But this isn't set by law. 3/

      Not true. AGAG had a back channel. Sheldon Whitehouse worked hard to close it.

      Also, there's that 2002 Bybee memo that lets WH have grand jury information.

      The Whitehouse one was more general than that, I had thought. Plus, "NatSec" will soon = BLM and other dissident groups.

      I BADLY need a FOIA litigation budget. How are the 6th Circuit's precedents on FOIA, anyway?
