The indictment that never came is still shaping DOJ’s ongoing battle with Trump.
In the first half, Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang break down this week’s accountability flashpoints:
- The push to impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem — what impeaching a cabinet official actually means and why it matters now
- The Supreme Court fight tied to the FTC with huge stakes for independent agencies and the question of whether a president can threaten the Federal Reserve
- The looming tariff decision — and how tariffs are being used as political leverage, including in Trump’s pressure campaign involving Greenland
Then Corey and John are joined by Glenn Kirschner (former federal prosecutor) for a blunt, inside-the-system conversation about:
- What went wrong with Robert Mueller
- The decision not to indict Trump — and the precedent it set
- How DOJ “corruption” happens in real life: pressure, incentives, normalization
- The hardest moral call for public servants: stay and fight, or resign and warn the country
If the law won’t check power, what will?
