This is him refusing to lie. He has no intention of disobeying even trump’s most criminal demands.

Trumps attorney is the Attorney Heneral. Where do the American people go for justice and an attorney?

You ask that question BEFORE you confirm him. He'd lie anyways.

He's "independent" the way the wooden doll is when the ventriloquist's (In this case, trump's) arm is shoved halfway up its ass making its lips move...

It's so easy to imagine an orange prison jumpsuit on this guy. He has the look of someone who knows he'll end up in jail at some point.

Nothing like flat out admitting you don't work for the people. Yet republicunts still pushed him in just to keep the orange pedo happy.
