Fmr. Federal Prosecutor: “DOJ Is Bleeding Out Its Credibility Very Quickly”

Season 2025 Episode 7221 | 18m 09s

In his latest piece for Slate magazine, former federal prosecutor Brendan Ballou points out that in Trump's first 100 days he has "ignored judges, extorted law firms, and fired lawyers." Ballou discusses the mass exodus of employees from the Department of Justice, how the MAGA base might be positioning itself to take over the D.C. bar, and what all this might mean for the future of law in America.
