Former DOJ Pardon Attorney. Forever a public defender. Hardwired to stand up to bullies.
It turns out it’s shockingly easy for the FBI or the Department of Homeland Security to get into your phone or your email account, even if you’ve committed no crime and done nothing wrong. I’m sharing two stories that are cautionary tales for all of us. Please share. youtube.com/shorts/hZtNj...

The Justice Department is in crisis. Here are seven recent developments that should alarm every one of us, regardless of politics or party. Congress needs to step in and perform its constitutional duty by conducting investigations and public hearings. youtube.com/shorts/7JeiO...

MAGA conspiracy theorist “Eagle Ed” Martin has been stripped of his title as Director of DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group and is reportedly leaving the Department imminently. RIP, Eagle Ed. youtube.com/shorts/saNgc...

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is continuing his press tour on the Epstein Files, and it’s an absolute fiasco. Lowlights include his admonishment to the American people that “it’s not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein.” youtube.com/shorts/frMlh...

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche did a press tour this weekend about DOJ’s latest Epstein Files release. What he said just highlights the dishonesty and incompetence of Trump’s DOJ. Here are the highlights. youtube.com/shorts/68eFM...

Latest on the investigation of ICE slaying of Alex Pretti: DOJ and FBI are not conducting a civil rights investigation; DHS is investigating itself. State authorities have been denied access to evidence. A Trump-appointed judge has ordered feds not to destroy evidence. youtube.com/shorts/9tDcG...

Shocking news from WSJ: the ICE agents who killed Alex Pretti are *still on the job.* Contrary to protocol, they have not been placed on leave, but instead reassigned outside of Minnesota “for their safety.” 🤯 youtube.com/shorts/2I0VJ...

In just one year, Trump has used the pardon power to forgive over $1.5 billion in debts owed to crime victims and taxpayers. I have more details—and a comparison to Biden’s pardons—in this post. For the full accounting and receipts, visit my Substack: www.lawyeroyer.com. youtube.com/shorts/OoPCK...

In case you missed it live, catch my conversation with the great Glenn Kirschner. We reviewed the latest legal issues with ICE in Minnesota, the dismal state of the DOJ, and the ongoing abuse of the pardon power by Donald Trump. It was a great discussion — I hope you enjoy it. youtu.be/rnF0P9UVoj4

Some very disturbing news in the Renee Good case: We’re now learning that the FBI actually opened a civil rights investigation into the shooter—ICE agent Jonathan Ross. But DOJ quickly shut it down. This is a coverup at the highest levels. youtube.com/shorts/9gb1k...

Important and chilling: On January 14, the FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter and seized her computers and phone. This legally dubious search has compromised over 1,100 confidential sources and effectively shut down her reporting on the federal workforce. youtube.com/shorts/2CkE7...

CALL TO ACTION: DOJ won’t investigate Renee Good’s killer, but they ARE investigating her widow. This is horrifyingly wrong. Make your voice heard by calling DOJ’s civil rights office at (202) 514-3847. Together, we can make a difference. #justiceforrenee #begood youtube.com/shorts/Ef4p9...

Shocking news that is not getting out: the Justice Department’s civil rights office has refused to investigate the killing of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross. This is a huge deal because this is the unit that investigates and prosecutes law enforcement misconduct. youtube.com/shorts/44an_...
