On some occasions (wiretaps, torture) as I noted above, the Bush AG has interpreted the law (not his role) and on other occasions, as chief law enforcement officer of the federal government, has directed attorneys in his department NOT to act or only to act in a manner that supported his (and the WH) interpretation of the law.
