A Moment Of Clarity: The DOJ’s Secret Purge: Why 200+ Fired Prosecutors Should Alarm Every American

What happens when the Department of Justice stops representing you and starts representing only the White House? We are witnessing a systemic dismantling of the independence that once defined our legal institutions. For decades, the DOJ and FBI relied on "norms" rather than laws to remain non-partisan—but norms can be changed by whoever is in charge. Michael Steele dives into the mass firing of over 200 veteran federal prosecutors and the rise of "in-house counsel" loyalists within the halls of justice.
