As I mentioned in my remarks, I think one distinction we need to make is the one between partisan considerations and non-partisan considerations that might influence a discourse between cabinet colleagues and the Attorney General. As I mentioned, I think the better view is that the Attorney General should not pay attention to or be influenced by considerations that are expressed with respect to the interests of a particular political party and so on. On the other hand, if a member of cabinet has something to say to the Attorney General by way of advice about the definition of the public interest, I think it's for the Attorney General to make his or her own decision as to whether to listen and entertain that advice.
With respect to definitions of the public interest or aspects of the public interest that the Attorney General does not have personal knowledge of, it could be helpful to hear, but the key point is that it's for the Attorney General to make up her or his own mind about any unsolicited advice that is received.
