CNN's “Newsnight” on Monday, CNN's contributor, Scott Jennings, is a former prosecutor of Ashley AKERS, a former prosecutor of Ashley AKERS, who promoted the concept that the Ministry of Justice was independent of the executive department and the US President. Former prosecutor, MARIA CARDONA.
Jennings: Yes. IG is a two different issues in my opinion, especially for prosecutors. I think it's pretty reasonable for the president who has just been selected to do not want his government's people who are just running him in prison recently. 。 In other words, it seems common sense for me that forcing the president to operate the government is incorrect. At least partially, I'm trying to imprison him recently.
As you know, I'm not -the fact that they might have done everything correctly, but he was still elected. This is the government of the people who select the president. It is not a carrier prosecutor's government. And for now, when he is not the president, I think there is no problem that they are not in the government. And if they want to come back, I don't know if there is a problem. However, it is reasonable for the president to believe that the entire administrative department is ROW in the direction he has set as a officially selected president.
Acers: I think we have forgotten that the Ministry of Justice and the faculty lawyers should act freely from political impacts and will.
Jennings: But it's the administrative department. The president will appoint the Justice Secretary. I work for the president.
Cardona: However, the Ministry of Justice is not working for the president. The Ministry of Justice is working for Americans.
Jennings: No, it works in the administrative department. It is in the constitution. It exists in the administrative department.
Cardona: The lawyer of the Ministry of Justice works for Americans.
Jennings: You are acting like a government -independent branch. It is in the administrative department operated by the president.
Cardona: Yes, Scott. However, the judicial lawyer works for Americans, not for the US President, but for Americans.
Jennings: So, do you not think that anyone in the administrative sector is tied to the chief of the administrative department?
Cardona: No. However, there is a difference. I think this is very important. You have a political appointment who serves with the joy of the president. You can always be fired for some reason. The president does not even need to say that. These are career prosecutors. These are the general career inspectors. In fact, there is a law that cannot be dismissed for no reason.
Allison: I think there was no problem if the former Ministry of Justice actually acted under Joe Biden as you said. All -I think so if you apply it to the last administration by your logic, and I want to go after Donald Trump because Joe Biden wanted to follow him. I thought -he could do it, and nothing was-
Jennings: They chased Donald Trump because Joe Biden didn't want to do it.
Allison: He had a special prosecutor. No, that is, –
Jennings: But in the order of the president.
Alison: But why is it wrong?
(Cross talk)
Philip: Hold -on, Scott. Hold, Scott. You said that it was just right.
Jennings: What?
Philip: You try to slide it there. You said in the president's order. It is completely wrong.
Jennings: Did he appoint a prosecutor?
Philip: It's completely wrong that Joe Biden ordered someone to create Donald Trump. It didn't happen now.
Jennings: What do you do -I–
Philip: You just said it, it didn't happen.
Jennings: Did they have a special prosecutor under the Biden administration and go after Donald Trump?
Philip: I just said under the president's order. Joe Biden did it-
Jennings: These are all in the execution department.
Philip: Hey, I get it.
Jennings: And this is my debate. It is an administrative department, and the president is at its peak.
Philip: But there is no evidence that Joe Biden ordered the investigation-
Jennings: He has repeatedly recorded that Donald Trump should be thrown into prison, instead Merrick Garland did not fail.
Philip: If Ashley's point is correct, I think it's okay for the US President to order what he wants, but what is wrong?
Jennings: I think I have a simple human resources discussion.
Philip: No, what's the problem?
Jennings: The Ministry of Justice is in the administrative department and is under the president. It is not an independent institution.
Philip: If so, what's wrong with Joe Biden? If so, what is wrong what Joe Biden is saying? Isn't that bad depending on your logic?
Jennings: Well, I don't think there is a problem as the administrative director who is talking to the President to the Justice Ministry. I think it is necessary to investigate things here, but it is up to them. It is up to them whether the law has been broken.
Philip: Four years later, four years later, when the Ministry of Justice was mistakenly used to a Republican member, I think it was a very extraordinary approval. You are now saying, that's okay-
Jennings: I don't say it should be a weapon, but it doesn't exist separately from the president. it's not.
