I once worked for the DOJ in a different roll, and I saw the handwriting on the wall when Obama took over the government. He started installing his minions as fast as he could. The DOJ has always had it's share of problems, just like any organization comprised of people, but it was obvious political appointees above skilled ones were going to be the new norm. I also know a former FBI guy that bailed out for the same reasons not long ago. They are turning government agencies into political police forces like the East German Stasi.
