We, the undersigned, are proud alumni of the United States Department of
Justice. We served this institution out of a commitment to the founding American
principles that our democratic republic depends upon the rule of law, that the
law must be applied equally, and that no one is above the law. Many of us served
with Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein. Those of us who served with these men
know them to be dedicated public servants committed to these principles. All of
us served with thousands of their peers at the Department, who also swear an
oath to serve, defend, and protect the United States, the Constitution and the
American people. We know that there are thousands of public servants at the
Department today who serve these principles and all of us.

We are therefore deeply disturbed by the attacks that have been levied against
the good men and women of the Department. Not only is it an insult to their
public service, but any attempt to corrupt or undermine the even-handed
application of the rule of law threatens the foundation of our Republic. We know
the people who serve at the Department will bravely weather these attacks and
continue to uphold their oaths by doing only what the law dictates. But it is up
to the rest of us, and especially our elected representatives, to come to their
defense and oppose any attempt by the President or others to improperly
interfere in the Department’s work, including by firing either Mr. Mueller, Mr.
Rosenstein or other Department leadership or officials for the purpose of
interfering in their investigations. Should the President take such a step, we
call on Congress to swiftly and forcefully respond to protect the founding
principles of our Republic and the rule of law.

Trump didn’t undermine the DOJ or your little reputations. You guys did that all by yourselves and before the election. Not to mention the fact that you are government employees and will always need to prove yourselves. We are to never assume you…...

Funny how none of these concerned alumni were speaking out when prominent Democrat officeholders were launching vicious criticisms of Comey and the FBI during October 2016.
No government institution is above scrutiny and criticism. If anyone…...

Do me a favor. Read the Wikipedia entry for Robert Mueller:

Then read the Wikipedia entry for Trump University:
