Listen "Concerns over weaponizing the Justice Department"
Episode Synopsis
The indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York State Attorney General Letitia James appear to be a clear case of political retribution. President Trump himself has made public statements to that effect. But the president's supporters say it is a logical response to what they perceive to be an unfair legal campaign against him. So what happens if the Justice Department becomes weaponized? Our guests discuss it. In studio:
Hon. John Ark, retired New York State Supreme Court justice
Hon. Richard Dollinger, retired New York Court of Claims judge
Hon. Thomas VanStrydonck, retired New York State Supreme Court justice
Hon. Joanne Winslow, retired New York State Supreme Court justice and former Monroe County prosecuting attorney
