I actually read Neustadt in undergraduate! I really enjoyed his work. I totally agree that agencies do not act at the explicit direction of the president, and they definitely have a degree of discretion. However, that is a far cry from saying they are controlled by a party opposite to what controls the executive, and is not relevant to the legal element of probable cause needed to make arrests.

The justice department works even more independently than, say, the dept of transportation. You know this.
