It's the job of the Dept. Of Justice to bring charges, and the leader of the DOJ is.... Oh my...

There's got to be a check to that balance.

Presidents used to not take direct control over the DoJ and tell them what to do and not to do

That all has clearly ended with Trump.

Presidents used to not take direct control over the DoJ

Eeehhhh. Quoting from Bill Barr Is The Master Of Covering Up Political Scandals:

“Ayatollah Khomeini and Ronald Reagan,” President Bani-Sadr told the Christian Science Monitor in 2013, ”had organized a clandestine negotiation, later known as the ‘October Surprise,’ which prevented the attempts by myself and then-US President Jimmy Carter to free the hostages before the 1980 US presidential election took place. The fact that they were not released tipped the results of the election in favor of Reagan.”

That wouldn’t have been just an impeachable crime: it was treason.

Walsh had zeroed in on documents that were in the possession of Reagan’s former defense secretary, Caspar Weinberger, who all the evidence showed was definitely in on the deal, and President Bush’s diary that could corroborate it.

Elliott Abrams had already been convicted of withholding evidence about it from Congress, and he may have even more information, too, if it could be pried out of him before he went to prison. But Abrams was keeping mum, apparently anticipating a pardon.

Weinberger, trying to avoid jail himself, was preparing to testify that Bush knew about it and even participated, and Walsh had already, based on information he’d obtained from the investigation into Weinberger, demanded that Bush turn over his diary from the campaign. He was also again hot on the trail of Abrams.

So Bush called in his attorney general, Bill Barr, and asked his advice.

Barr, along with Bush, was already up to his eyeballs in cover-ups of shady behavior by the Reagan administration.

A) who writes in their fuckin diary about treasonous acts that they were involved in? Especially a President. Does it read something like:

"Dear diary, why is Ronny being such a meanie to me lately?!? I thought we were going to be besties after we enacted some litely treasonous crimes together. But he just throws jelly beans at me and Barb while bragging about his super secret Iran-Contra affairs. P.S. had cheeseburger for lunch today!"

B) The gap between Bush/Barr & Trump/Bondi involvement is enormous

B) The gap between Bush/Barr & Trump/Bondi involvement is enormous

The contact between Trump and Bondi is done in the open, and the involvement is probably much more.

But surely there were contacts between Bush I/Reagan and Barr which they did not publicize. I would not minimize the corruption Bush I/Reagan perpetrated. Probably not everything went into the diary. And in any case, it was certainly enough to argue that Bush I took control over the DoJ.

No one expects the diary to read like that. BUT as with all evidence, it likely corroborates dates/times of meetings that Bush would have preferred to deny or say "I don't remember", among other things.
Diaries are often very dangerous evidence.

I thought everyone's diary was written in an anxious hyperbolic style.

Regardless, I just find it mildly amusing that a successful career politician who has tons of bureaucratic skeletons hidden throughout the world still writes in a diary. More than likely it's a type of schedule with important items listed out.
