Bar politically motivated federal prosecutions

Goldman says he will push for legislation to codify the Justice Department’s independence and bar political prosecutions. He has introduced legislation that would prohibit the Justice Department from considering partisan association in investigations or prosecutions, and describes a further proposal to explicitly forbid political prosecutions.

Context: The proposed push is conditioned on Democrats retaking the House. The source does not provide the text or enforcement details of the proposed legislation.
