Curious if anyone feels that is appropriate or conversely if laws should be enacted to prevent such actions by an attorney general.

Good for him. What I find inappropriate for an Attorney General is enabling the President of the United States to continue in his unconstitutional and illegal actions and maintaining that there are no legislative or judicial checks and balances on the power of the presidency, not to mention counseling potential witnesses to be in contempt of Congress.

Please share why you would think this could possibly be inappropriate. This should be good.
