The confidence in our republic rests on a legal process free from obvious and profound conflicts of interest. The Department of Justice is currently defending itself from assertions of removing important investigative tools from the FBI in its work in the Hillary Rodham Clinton email and private server violations. The head of the Department of Justice has already been greatly criticized for meeting privately with Ms. Clinton's spouse, reflecting an appearance of bias. Now the department has named Mr. Peter Kadzik to participate in the renewed investigation, despite his much publicized, photographed, and otherwise documented close relationships with the Podestas. Mr. Kadzik is an inappropriate choice for such a role with obvious conflicts of interest. I bring this as an individual.
