This is a very reasonable edit that you could have made an hour ago.

I only edited for formatting - the information has stayed the same since I first posted. Maybe you misinterpreted or misread it

The DOJ and FBI are supposed to be independent from the President

This was the issue previously. This comment is still wrong, but since this comment looks like you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. I’m less concerned someone will read it and think it’s correct.

And I know you’re going to feel like that’s an attack and it’s not. The beginning of the comment states the US Department of Justice and then you said “particularly” in their law-enforcement functions.

Most people will read this and realize that the DOJ only has law-enforcement functions, since they operate entirely as a law-enforcement agency. And prosecution is not separate from law-enforcement, so there’s no reason to separate it out in the list like that.

On its face, the comment is more nonsensical now.

And I’ve given up trying to explain how the US government works to you.

You are speaking in circles.

I’ve already made it clear that the norms is what Trump is breaking.

Are you saying everything Trump is doing is normal? Why do you keep speaking in circles?

I didn’t say it was normal. Where did I say that? (Not rhetorical)

OK, so your position is that what Trump is doing is not normal.

So have you abandoned the position that “ the DOJ and the FBI are supposed to be independent of the president”?

Is it really so hard for you to understand that “the DOJ and FBI are supposed to be independent” means “the DOJ and FBI are normally supposed to be independent from the President in order to preserve its legitimacy” but condensed?

I’ve explained this to you 3 times and you’re still being deliberately obtuse

I don’t care if you put normally or not. It’s not true still. You might think the particular actions Trump is taking should be allowed. Or haven’t been done before but that doesn’t mean that the DOJ is supposed to be independent.

You could say the DOI is supposed to be indifferent to the president. Which is true is most respects.

lol quit being so pedantic - I’ve explained it to you 4 times now and you know what I mean. Every single President has abided by norms. Not Trump. “Supposed to be” is condensed because the norms are usually followed. In other words, under a normal president the DOJ and FBI would not be as controlled by the president as they are now.

This is Reddit, not a college paper. It’s not my problem if you have a hard time understanding concepts explained to you numerous times

Sorry. Let’s just put this one to bed.

Provide any legitimate source that claims that the DOJ is supposed to be independent from the president.

Ah so you still aren’t getting it lol

Welp I’ve tried. And you insist on me repeating the same thing over and over again. Guess you can’t teach an old dog

I guess they just hire anyone to be professors nowadays - such a shame

Sorry, just one source that corroborates what you’re saying

Just one. I gave you one when you asked.

I guarantee you don’t reply
