There is a three way checks and balances...each have their role...Congress makes the law, the AG (Exec Branch) enforces the law, the Judiciary interprets the law.
Under Bush, there are numerous examples of the AG interpreting the law (warrentless wiretaps, use of torture, claims of executive privilege...based on legal arguments crafted by WH attorneys.)
As to Clinton, do you have specific examples of how the AG served the interest of Clinton as opposed to enforcing the law or acting in the interest of the county?
