About this episode
Is President Donald Trump breaking the Justice Department or simply reshaping its priorities? As federal prosecutors resign, Sarah Isgur and David French debate whether we’re looking at another Saturday Night Massacre—and whether that’s how the justice system should work.
The Agenda:
—What is (and isn’t) lawless?
—More on the independence on federal agencies
—One magnificent speech away
—Justice Brett Kavanaugh on fiduciary discretion
—“F— cheerleading”
