1. I wish I could say Sessions

Was the only racist hate monger at DOJ, but the fact is that they are embedded throughout the line AUSA staff as well. During GOP administrations AUSAs are fired and hired for political reasons even though they are supposed to be protected. During the Obama administration DOJ followed the law AND hired and fired based only on job performance. In one notable example, Steven Cook, the President of the National Association of Assistant US Attorneys and a line AUSA from Tennessee and a RMF gave extensive bullshit testimony against the criminal justice reform bill. Of course, after Trump and Sessions he was sent to DC to head up Trump's crackdown on black people.

There are some good AUSAs but with us playing by the rules and the GOP not they are badly outnumbered.

Edited to add:

Sessions is a close second.
