Seriously? There are documented cases of the DOJ being used purely for political purposes going all the way back to FDR who used it to gather "intel" on people who apposed his National Security Policies and had the temerity to send him missives about it. And don't get me started on Hoover who used the FBI as a political tool since it's inception.
The FBI ran "COINTELPRO" for over 20 years before they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. I refer you to the Church Committee Report for more detail. If you think that the DOJ Stopped those activities cause they got caught back in the 70's, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona you may be interested in buying.
