We’ve got a violent judge who can’t park in Idaho, politically motivated prosecutors in Chicago, and Trump’s generationally incompetent personal lawyers failing to do basic lawyering. Finally, Leah speaks with Mary Moriarty, Hennepin County (MN) Attorney, about the charges her office has filed against ICE agents, the breakdown in cooperation between local authorities and the feds, and FAFO , the new coalition of prosecutors fighting back against federal overreach. The paperback edition of Leah’s book, Lawless , featuring brand-new material is out on Tuesday, June 16. Buy it here !
