Assignment: Compare And Contrast

OK class, here's your assignment from Professor Buster:

Read the words of Barack Obama (as shared former federal prosecutor Joyce White Vance, and confirmed by former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara) and those of Donald Trump (quoted in a Thursday NY Times interview), then in 500 words or less, compare and contrast their attitudes toward the U.S. Dept. of Justice and their visions of their personal role regarding same.  Have it on my desk tomorrow morning.

   The first time President Obama met with his US Attorneys, he told us, “I appointed you but you don’t serve me. You serve the American people. And I expect you to act with independence & integrity.” None of us ever forgot that.

"I have the absolute right to do what I want to do with the Justice Department."
-- Trump


(Hint:  There's very little comparison.  It's pretty much all contrast.)
