Unsurprisingly, no one at DOJ has actually said that in public, and instead what you have is the hearsay of what in other contexts might be called a disgruntled employee.

OTOH, I sincerely wish that the DOJ could act in a reasonably non-partisan way on *both* sides. It has fostered a lot of the division in this country and the insurgence of the burn it all down crowd. I am no fan of the federal government generally, but I think a neutralish DOJ would go a long ways to alleviating the mistrust of government.

I genuinely would like to understand how DOJ "fostered a lot of the division in this country" because I don't get it, and I tend to take that accusation kinda personally.
