Does that mean the stuff their NOT doing is...
...NOT being done alone either?
...NOT being done alone either?
Do you even know what they do? Here is an org chart as a clue (the agencies under DOJ - https://www.justice.gov/agencies/chart)

Not actually effectively stopping this is a group effort then?
DOJ has ALWAYS worked as part of a "group" with others because they are the "legal" and "enforcement" arms for REST of the federal agencies. This is not hard.
When my agency would send out inspectors to a firm we regulated and the asses at the front door didn't let them in, then we left and contacted...wait for it... DOJ... to provide us U.S. Marshals to attempt to carry out our inspection. And if that firm STILL refused us entry, even with the Marshals, then DOJ would GO TO COURT and get a SEARCH WARRANT (and seizure as necessary) so that OUR inspectors could proceed to do their work. WE had NO AUTHORITY to do that.
I understand you feel that the DOJ is a glorious shining example of effective leadership, but I disagree.
The snark doesn't make you wiser regarding how the federal government works.
Why you refuse to LEARN and understand what their role is with respect to the Executive Branch, is breathtaking. Doubling down rather than actually looking up their history is not conducive to actually learning something.
They are the OTHER agencies "lawyers and police" when those agencies need them.
It's really very simple but whoosh!
On a side note, snide innuendo does not actually make your position any stronger, just sayin'.
Perhaps you need some Civics 101 and then get back to me.

If BumRushDaShow says there's a tornado forming over my house, I'll duck and cover before looking out the window.
