Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : That bond of loyalty is precisely why Trump nominated his three personal lawyers to the Justice Department.
44% : As Florida attorney general in 2013, she dropped her office's investigation into Trump University after receiving a $25,000 campaign contribution from Trump.
36% : Patel's only qualifications for the job are his political rants premised on conspiracy theories, devoid of any facts, about purging the FBI of the "deep state" and his willingness to do whatever Trump asks of him.
29% : As such, when it comes to Trump's vow for retribution against his enemies, they will be in the uncomfortable position of having to adhere to their oath to the Constitution over their loyalty to Trump.
27% : If Trump has his way, lady justice's blindfold will be riddled with holes.
19% : Although Trump's criminal defense team was not part of his presidential campaign, their appointments raise the same concerns to act independently of Trump.
16% : His attorney general nominee Pam Bondi campaigned for Trump in 2020, later repeating Trump's falsehood that the 2020 election was rigged.
