"By appointing a well-respected career prosecutor as special counsel, AG Garland has demonstrated his commitment to avoiding even the appearance of politicization at @TheJusticeDept. I'm confident that SC Smith will pursue justice in these investigations without fear or favor.

"The AG's decision is a far cry from the approach of the previous President & AG, who treated DOJ as the President's personal law firm -- and weaponized the Department to punish the President's political enemies and reward his political allies.

"The actions of former President Trump are exactly the kind of exceptional circumstances contemplated by the special counsel statute and we must take them seriously, for the sake of our democracy."
