The Trump Regime values loyalty over competence, rewards loyalty, and punishes free speech. Just ask former AUSA Will Rosenzweig, who was illegally fired by the US Attorney, Pam Bondi, last year because of blog posts he made, as a private citizen, back in 2017(!) that were critical of Trump. His attorney, Margaret Donovan, joins me with all of the details of his just-filed lawsuit and why we should all be terrified that the Trump DOJ, especially under Todd Blanche, isn’t pursuing justice, but punishment for critics of this Administration.
