Autocrat Meet Bureaucrat

This episode of the "UnJustified" podcast, a news/current affairs program, focuses on the actions of the Trump administration's new Department of Justice leadership. The hosts discuss several key memos issued by Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, including orders to prosecute local law enforcement for non-compliance with immigration policies (potentially unconstitutional), redeploying anti-terrorism resources to immigration enforcement, and halting certain civil rights litigation. The podcast also covers the reassignment of numerous career DOJ officials and the dismissal of January 6th cases, highlighting Judge Chutkan's strong rebuke of Trump's pardons. Specific examples include the reassignment of experts in terrorism prosecutions and the appointment of acting U.S. Attorneys with ties to the Stop the Steal movement. The episode concludes by analyzing Judge Cannon's order blocking the release of Volume 2 of Jack Smith's report, emphasizing her apparent bias against the prosecution.
