The Hero We Need (feat. Cathy Harris)

In this episode of "UnJustified," Allison Gill and Andy McCabe discuss several pressing issues. They interview Cathy Harris, a former member of the Merit Systems Protection Board, about her wrongful termination and the implications for multi-member boards and the separation of powers. The hosts then analyze the Trump administration's attempt to federalize the District of Columbia, including the appointment of a DEA head as emergency police commissioner, and the legal challenges that followed. They also discuss the difficulties federal prosecutors are facing in securing grand jury indictments against protesters interfering with ICE officers, and an open letter from former national security officials warning about a purge inside the FBI. Finally, they answer a listener question about the strategies and motivations behind the Trump administration's actions.
