Former federal prosecutor Lou Manzo joins the conversation to unpack the various proposals within Project 2025 focused on the Department of Justice. We explore some of the Chapter's more extreme proposals that could fundamentally alter the department's independent administration of justice.
Mr. Manzo, one of the lead prosecutors who secured seditious conspiracy convictions in the January 6th Oathkeeper cases, brings his unique experience upholding the rule of law during turbulent times, to discuss what could happen if the DOJ becomes a political tool.
This episode examines the potential consequences of a politicized DOJ, from interference in state matters, to large-scale deportation programs.
