on

Published in Jokes

“This is not because he’s a Republican. Donald Trump poses a unique threat to our criminal justice system and to that concept of equal justice." Sally Yates, a former Deputy U.S. Attorney General who spent nearly 30 years at the Department of Justice, joins Jon Stewart to unpack the DOJ’s future under another Trump presidency. She explains how the president-elect views the DOJ as his "own personal goon squad," career employees’ concern over Trump weaponizing the department for illegitimate reasons, and unpacks why the promise of equal justice is a promise the nation has never completely fulfilled.
