Has anyone ever suggested making the Attorney General independent of the White House?

22. Outside, private organizations have never had the power to nominate people to government positions

And they shouldn't.

Who would the AG report to? Whose policies would they follow? Who would discipline/fire them if they didn't perform well or got out of line? The state bar association? How would that work? State bar associations are private organizations, run by all kinds of people unaccountable to anyone but their membership.

Operating under the rules that apply to the judiciary would not only make them part of the Judicial branch, but would also create a whole new range of problems and issues since those rules apply to the operation of the courts, not to prosecutors.

Sorry, but this wouldn't work.

Out system has always worked well until it fell into the hands of corrupt people. That can happen to any system, regardless how near-perfect. If the system you suggest was administered by corrupt people, it would also fail.

The answer to this problem is not to dismantle the current system but to take responsibility and take action to change the people we put in charge of it.
