Prof. Alan Rozenshtein Quoted in New York Times About Politicization of Justice Department

Professor Alan Rozenshtein was quoted in a news analysis by the New York Times about the politicization of the U.S. Justice Department under Donald Trump. According to the Justice Department, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted due to making false statements and obstructing justice. The indictments were made by a prosecutor who has been in her job for less than a week but was told to do so to beat a quickly approaching statute of limitations on Comey’s purported crimes. Critics expect further arbitrary prosecutions pushed by Trump against his enemies. Prof. Rozenshtein said, “What we are seeing is the almost wholesale collapse of the Justice Department as an organization based on the rule of law.”
