William Barr

The people around the nation, but specifically in Arizona where operation Fast and Furious was carried out, deserve more from their president and their attorney general.

What disturbed me most, frankly, about the Rod Rosenstein memo, is the fact it was addressed to the attorney general.

Sally Yates

Remember the attorney general is not a member of the president's staff. He's the attorney general of the United States. He's there to represent all of us, and it means all the laws have to be enforced fairly. And you can't bring your individual prejudices in there.
