Our Democracy in Peril. Part-2-Investigate Donald Trump! Sep 21, 2021

Show notes

If we don't investigate the origins and aftermath of the Big Lie and the insurrection on January 6th, we may be doomed to repeat it. This time with smarter more skillful people. Investigation and prosecution are a deterrent to others thinking about doing it again. Barbara McQuade is a former US Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan and is currently an MSNBC Legal Analyst and law professor at the University of Michigan. In an op-ed for the Washington Post, she, along with Harvard’s Laurence Tribe, and former US Attorney Joyce Vance, provide a roadmap for a Justice Department criminal investigation of Donald Trump.
