All I want to do is be the best attorney general that I can be.

From conflicts of interest to inexplicable delays the actions so far of the attorney general and the Justice Department make it far less likely that the culprit will be found and that justice will be served.

The attorney general couldn't be any more irrelevant to this process.

As a former attorney general. I have the greatest respect for the criminal justice system. But it is not good at intelligence gathering.
