We begin with the mob boss in the White House exposing the Department of Justice as nothing more than his private law firm with consiglieres who are his former defense lawyers unleashed like junkyard dogs to hound, harass, bankrupt and if possible, jail Donald Trump’s enemies. Joining us to assess the state of the DoJ for which Trump’s number one target James Comey, in response to being indicted by Trump’s rogue justice crew, is “heartbroken” is Harry Litman, a former United States attorney and deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department. A professor of constitutional law and national security law at the University of California San Diego and University of California Los Angeles, he is a Senior Fellow at the Annenberg Center at the University of Southern California, the host of the Talking San Diego speaker series, and the Executive Producer & host of the Talking Feds podcast as well as author of the Talking Feds Substack.

Here’s why.”
