Prosecutors: Clinton contributions compromise integrity of Justice Dept.

The revelation that employees at the Justice Department have supported Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign to the tune of $75,000 diminishes public trust in the department at best, prosecutors who spoke with the Washington Examiner said on Tuesday, and may suggest the department is too compromised to function properly at worst.

“‘Justice is blind’ is not an empty mantra,” said Matthew Whitaker, a U.S. attorney under President George W. Bush. “The whole republic would be in jeopardy if justice was delivered at the political whims of the prosecutors at DOJ.”
