Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn this episode, former federal prosecutor Kristy Parker returns to Faithful Politics to discuss the drastic shifts in the Department of Justice under Donald Trump. With nearly two decades of experience in the DOJ, Parker offers a rare insider's perspective on the erosion of institutional norms, the consequences of mass firings, and the implications for civil rights enforcement. From the establishment of a controversial anti-Christian bias task force to unprecedented executive orders affecting legal representation, Parker outlines how the DOJ has become a tool for political retribution rather than a defender of the rule of law. Listen in as she explains the ripple effects on American democracy and why Protect Democracy is working to hold the line.Guest Bio:Kristy Parker is a senior counsel at Protect Democracy, where she focuses on safeguarding democratic institutions and the rule of law. A former federal prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, she has extensive experience in civil rights litigation, police misconduct cases, and election integrity enforcement. Parker served under four presidential administrations, witnessing firsthand the transformation of the DOJ from a nonpartisan legal body to a political weapon under Donald Trump.Resources:Protect Democracy: https://protectdemocracy.org Support the show
President Donald Trump erupted on Truth Social this week when it became clear that MAGA loyalist and insurrectionist Ed Martin's nomination for U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C. is in trouble. Trump even called GOP Senators to demand their support. But then GOP Senator Thom Tillis announced his opposition, leading even staunch Trump loyalists to concede he might not survive. MAGA personalities lashed out in response. Lost in this saga has been the basic reason we don't want a MAGA-brained January Sixer in such a crucial law enforcement role in the first place. We talked to former prosecutor Kristy Parker, counsel at Protect Democracy. She explains why this position is so critical to the legal order, why Martin has no business in it, and why she has cautious optimism that Trump's assault on the rule of law might ultimately get repelled.

We were interviewing Kristy Parker - former federal prosecutor and current attorney at Protect Democracy - about the destruction of protections for our democratic system, when she carefully, methodically, and compellingly dismantled Donald Trump's main defenses in the election fraud/January 6 case. Also: we does it make sense to charge Trump under a statute intended to go after the KKK. And how can we reverse the assault on democracy in the US?
In light of the recent indictment of former President Trump over classified documents, there has been no shortage of commentary about what all of it means. However, we thought it was important to address the big elephant in the room and that's, is this a politically motivated prosecution? In this episode, we explore the significance of impartiality in investigations and how organizations like Protect Democracy are leading the way in this area. We discuss recent politically motivated investigations, the role of journalism in upholding institutional honesty, and the release of the Special Counsel John Durham report.We begin by examining the weaponization of government investigations, particularly in relation to President Trump. We highlight Protect Democracy's article on identifying weaponized investigations and discuss examples such as James Comey's announcement on the Clinton investigation and Alvin Bragg's indictment in NY. Additionally, we analyze the Take Care Clause and its application to presidential oversight of the Justice Department. We also scrutinize the GOP House majority's Committee on the Weaponization of Government and suggest other crucial issues they should address.Next we assess the impartiality of Attorney General Merrick Garland and evaluate specific cases like Hunter Biden and the Trump-E. Jean Carrol case. We also discuss concerns about the Durham Report intentionally omitting relevant information. Furthermore, we explore the Durham Investigation's new findings and the assessment by DOJ IG Michael Horowitz. Lastly, we touch upon the Authoritarian Threat Index and compare the John Durham report with other investigations on Russia's interference in the 2016 election.Join us for an insightful discussion on investigations and the vital role of impartiality in preserving our democratic values.Articles referenced in the show:How to tell whether a government investigation or prosecution is “weaponized”Investigating and Prosecuting Political Leaders in a DemocracyGuests:Anne Tindall is Counsel at Protect Democracy, where she works to secure accountability for abuses of power and counter anti-democratic activity at the federal and state level.

President Trump is known for his aggressive attitude toward the media, but do his actions and statements represent a violation of the First Amendment?

Joining the show to discuss the case are Kristy Parker, counsel for Protect Democracy, the nonprofit helping to represent PEN America in the case; and Berin Szóka, president of TechFreedom. For more information about the case, see Protect America’s overview.
