Episode Description

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?
