quote:Trump appointed a number of institutionalists last time, starting with his Vice President. He won’t do that next time. He’ll appoint evil, unprincipled lunatics, people who will make Mark Meadows and Bill Barr look moderate. People like Jeff Clark and Mike Flynn.

Which was the point about the guardrails being removed.
Imagine a DoJ run by someone determined to ensure that the entire government bureaucracy was staffed by MAGA loyalists. Imagine him (likely a him) unselfconsciously using the office to punish all of Trump's perceived enemies, and subtly threatening violence (by social media) against the families of any quasi-independent legal voice raised against his majesty.
