Trump Promised to Defang the DOJ. So Why Are the Same People Still There? |10|07|26

The promise was to expose and dismantle the weaponization of the Department of Justice. But has the DOJ actually changed? I’m joined by January 6 attorney and former DOJ lawyer Jonathan Gross for a deep dive into what happened to the promised effort to root out DOJ weaponization. Nothing has changed in terms of personnel, with many of the same bad actors who persecuted innocent Americans continuing to stay on. We also discuss the January 6 prosecutions, coerced plea agreements, overcharging, selective prosecution, the treatment of Antifa and ICE-related cases, and Gross’ lawsuit seeking accountability for people he says were harmed by DOJ weaponization. The stakes, according to Gross, go beyond January 6. The central question is whether the federal justice system has actually been reformed — or whether the same machinery remains in place for whoever controls Washington next.  Sadly, it’s the latter.
