28:30Now PlayingThe Court of History’s Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz are joined by former DOJ Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer to expose how Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his personal law firm. From the indictment of James Comey to cover-ups involving Tom Homan, to Ed Martin’s weaponization working group, this conversation reveals how deep the corruption runs—and why rebuilding DOJ will take nothing short of a modern Reconstruction.
Tune in for a sobering look at how Trump’s DOJ is being hollowed out, replaced with loyalists, and used to attack his enemies while protecting his allies.
