Default Yet Another warning

This time from the justice department:

A group of onetime Republican presidential appointees who served as
senior ethics or Justice Department aides are endorsing Joe Biden for
president, warning that Donald Trump has “weaponized” the executive
branch and is putting in peril the legitimacy of the Justice
Department.

“I think a lot of us are extremely alarmed, frankly, at the threat of
autocracy,” Donald B. Ayer, former deputy attorney general during the
George H.W. Bush administration, said in an interview with POLITICO.
“He’s going to be unleashed if he gets a second term. I don’t know
what’s going to stop him.”

People who have seen the rise of fascist governments elsewhere should
be alarmed by this. Dismantling the firewall between the executive
branch and the justice department upsets the separation of powers that
the founding fathers carefully built into the constitution. The guys
issuing these warnings are not a bunch of disgruntled progressive
liberals.
