E. Jean Carroll and the Mob Boss Presidency (with Barb McQuade)

Barb McQuade is a former U.S. Attorney, MS NOW legal analyst, law professor, and author of The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government. In this live episode taped at the 92NY in New York City, Barb joins Preet to discuss President Trump’s mob-style tactics, the $1.8 billion “slush fund” for January 6 defendants, threats to the rule of law, and how Americans can reclaim democratic accountability.

Then, Preet answers listener questions about lawsuits challenging President Trump’s slush fund, whether acting officials can be impeached, and a court ruling barring arrests from being made in New York City immigration courts. 

In the bonus for Insiders, Preet and McQuade discuss restoring public faith in the Justice Department, the most important lesson for law students, and whether RICO is a viable legal tool for holding the Trump administration accountable.
