Isn’t the justice department under the executive branch? With head appointed by the president? Or are they the judicial branch and have independence?

- wybiral 8y agoIt's exec but a decision like this would still require numerous people. Not that situations haven't arisen where exec is in disagreement with intel (Iraq, for instance) but that's pretty rare. And it's hard to tell exactly until more info comes in and other agencies corroborate. My point was that this isn't one person trying to start something. Multiple people had to be involved if what the Times is reporting here is correct. Not everything is a conspiracy.
