A Moment Of Clarity: The DOJ’s Secret Purge: Why 200+ Fired Prosecutors Should Alarm Every American
About this episode
Michael Steele discusses the implications of the mass firing of over 200 federal prosecutors by the Department of Justice.
What happens when the Department of Justice stops representing you and starts representing only the White House? We are witnessing a systemic dismantling of the independence that once defined our legal institutions. For decades, the DOJ and FBI relied on "norms" rather than laws to remain non-partisan—but norms can be changed by whoever is in charge. Michael Steele dives into the mass firing of over 200 veteran federal prosecutors and the rise of "in-house counsel" loyalists within the halls of justice.
