Today on Mea Culpa, I welcomed back Harry Litman, former U.S. Attorney, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, law professor, and host of Talking Feds, to discuss Trump’s first week in office. We critique Trump’s authoritarian agenda, including mass deportation plans, the creation of controversial new departments, and executive orders that undermine democratic institutions. Harry emphasizes the dangers of Trump’s disregard for constitutional norms and explores legal avenues to challenge these actions. We also discussed Trump’s use of pardons for January 6th rioters, raising concerns about future political violence and the erosion of justice.
