Exposing the DOJ's Dangerous Corruption | Mary McCord

Exposing the DOJ's Dangerous Corruption | Mary McCord

Former Acting Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord joins Marc Elias to deliver a sobering, inside-the-Justice-Department assessment of how political pressure is corroding DOJ norms, judicial trust, and prosecutorial ethics. Drawing on decades as a federal prosecutor and current work at Georgetown Law, McCord explains the collapse of the presumption of regularity, the rise of misrepresentations to courts, and the dangers of politicized prosecutions—from immigration cases to protest arrests and grand jury shopping. She also discusses the devastating impact on U.S. Attorney’s Offices, why juries are increasingly rejecting overreach, how law students are rethinking careers in government, and why lawyers must now speak publicly to defend the rule of law and constitutional democracy.
