282 former DOJ officials signed a letter sounding the alarm about "this administration’s degradation of DOJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it."

The fact that hundreds felt compelled to say this speaks volumes.
Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm'
Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."
