Take it to the High Side (Andrew McCabe and Allison Gill; Unjustified podcast)

At least 18 Trump administration officials used an unsecured Signal chat to discuss real-time attacks on Houthi militants in Yemen earlier this month as investigative journalist for The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to the group.

The Department of Justice is drastically changing their policy of prosecuting crimes in the United States prior to deportation.

The FBI has cut staffing in an office focused on domestic terrorism and has scrapped a tool used to track such investigations. This shift could undermine law enforcement’s ability to counter white supremacists and anti-government extremists.

Alina Habba was sworn in Friday as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

Is Jan 6. Justice Moving Too Slowly? with Randall Eliason (Opening Arguments podcast OA585)

Are prosecutors being “chicken shits?” Will Trump get away with everything?

The Garland DoJ Coverage is Completely Wrong (Opening Arguments podcast OA498)

This episode is exactly why this show exists. Two stories about Merrick Garland's DoJ came out recently that gave the strong impression that Garland was defending Trump policies and even joining forces with religious bigots against LGBTQ rights. These stories are COMPLETELY misleading. As always with complicated legal stories, the truth faces a steep, uphill battle. Come along as Andrew explains why Garland is doing exactly what he should be, and would be doing even under a Bernie Sanders administration.

In the first segment, we discuss the Women's Health Protection Act. Can it save us from the Supreme Court overturning Roe? Find out!
