24:52Now PlayingRebecca Roiphe, a legal ethics expert and former Manhattan prosecutor, joins Lisa Graves from Court Accountability Action to discuss the ethics issues raised by the actions of Todd Blanche, who Donald Trump wants the Senate to confirm as Attorney General. They discuss who the client of the Justice Department really is (the U.S. government, not Donald Trump), how Blanche has used DOJ as if Trump is still his client, and why the power of prosecution should not be abused as a weapon targeted at Trump's perceived enemies.
