## Resource

Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz dive deep with New York Times reporter Devlin Barrett into his new book, “The Department of Revenge: How Trump Took Control of American Justice,” on the destruction of the Public Integrity Section and the Civil Rights Division of DOJ, the fall of Pam Bondi and the rise of Todd Blanche, and how the lawyers have been steamrolled by the ideologues.
