Good article comparing the DOJ of Trump/Bondi with past DOJ's. 

So Biden answers a question, "Should Bannon be held in contempt for failure to appear before Congress?"

Biden answers, "Yes". This one word response gets him an immediate hand slap from the DOJ; who repeats their independence from POTUS. 

Today, Trump INSTRUCTS Pam Bondi and DOJ to go after Democrats in relation to the Epstein files. His clear implication is that only Dems are involved or going to be involved. 

The DOJ is supposed to operate independently from POTUS. Today's DOJ does the exact opposite. Remember that the Justice Dep't is supposed to advocate for justice for Americans. It's not the personal attack dog of the President. 

Biden's DOJ isn't the only one that did it right. It's been that way under most admins of either party. 

How far America has slipped down the slope away from democracy toward.......... something else. 

Here's a companion article discussing multiple people leaving DOJ:
