Justice was never meant to serve politics. Yet that line keeps getting crossed. This week on Under Color of Law, I break down how prosecutions are being twisted for power instead of truth: from the Comey case to Trump’s threats to use the Insurrection Act.

I joined The Daily Beast to break down Trump’s case against James Comey.
