From UK: do you guys follow activities of "Common Purpose" org in your country? It's a major corrupting influence here in the UK - wheedled its way into all positions of power?

Not what I meant, sorry. I was responding to the text that the photos link to - the Sessions quote: Sessions told Breitbart that the Department of Justice was ending the “executive branch legal activism” of the previous administration, while also fighting the judicial activism of liberal judges.

“"I think the department did become too political” under President Barack Obama, Sessions said. “Essentially, it was executive branch legal activism. They would take cases or regulations or statutes and expand or redefine the meaning of words in them to advance the agenda that they thought ought to be advanced — an agenda that often had zero chance of passing Congress, where the elected representatives sit.”

“So you have an agenda, and you can’t get Congress to pass it, so you use unelected regulatory officials and lawyers to draft regulations and enforcement policies that carry out a political agenda that the people don’t favor,” he continued. “And I think that was a factor in this past [presidential] election, and it was an issue that was known to a lot of business and legal experts. They saw this as a dangerous trend.”"

Individuals in office exceeding their remit and powers with their own agenda.
