Last night on @lauracoates.com: Bondi’s attack dog approach to her testimony while not surprising is beneath the office she holds. And again - no mention of survivors or victims the very people DOJ is supposed to protect.

Powerful piece from @mimirocah1.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @dahlialithwick.bsky.social & @rachelfoster.bsky.social & Rachel Foster reminding us to avoid tabloid framing and center Epstein's victims in lieu of him and those who reprehensibly abetted him.

New (& important) from @dahlialithwick.bsky.social @mimirocah1.bsky.social Rachel Foster & me slate.com/news-and-pol...

I don’t understand the supposed legal basis for this.

DOJ requested a summons—*not* an arrest warrant—under Rule 9 of the FRCrP.

Are they going to go back to the magistrate and ask for a warrant, even though Comey hasn’t failed to appear? If not, what’s the exigency for a warrantless arrest?

👏👏👏

Working on a new book, “The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government.” Drawing from my experience as a prosecutor, the book offers ideas to take back our democracy and a vision for the future. Available June 9, 2026. Here’s the cover. What do you think?

Today seems like a good day to announce that I am writing a book! About? The assault on our system of justice. It’s more important than ever to lift up the stories of courageous lawyers standing up & doing the right thing (& to talk about those who aren’t). Fall 2026 with @harpercollins.bsky.social

The fundamental underpinning of democracy, which we spread around the world, is an apolitical, independent criminal justice system.

James Comey’s case is a joke that will never stick. But the damage Trump is doing to the rule of law will leave a lasting stain.

Erik Siebert’s resignation emphasizes Trump’s feverish pursuit of becoming dictator-in-chief. Mimi Rocah examines his reliance on Pam Bondi and his plans to expedite the hiring of loyalists across government.

Survivors of the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell respond to FBI director Patel’s testimony:

“The politically motivated termination of Ms. Comey…upends bedrock principles of our democracy & justice system…. AUSAs like Ms. Comey must do their jobs without fearing or favoring any political party or perspective, guided solely by the law, the facts & the pursuit of justice.”

Exactly.

I’m proud to announce that Vol. 1 of Hidden Voices: Jewish Americans in U.S. History is now available for *free* for K-12 educators EVERYWHERE to integrate into their social studies/US history teaching.

Grateful to the many who contributed, now LET’S USE IT!

Amazing and important. Thank you my friend.

Anyway in addition to teaching the law maybe elite legal institutions should also focus on teaching aspiring lawyers not to be morally bankrupt

My latest for @msnbc.com after yesterdays powerful gathering of Epstein/Maxwell survivors organized by @rachelfoster.bsky.social @laurenhershey.bsky.social www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Why speak publicly now a reporter asks? Because DOJ gave Maxwell a platform and was put on a pedestal. Because Trump called it a hoax. We won’t be silence anymore.

This #epstein press conference where survivors are speaking is incredible. The unity & power of this group of women (and their families) is so moving.

My latest for @cafedotcom.bsky.social staytuned.substack.com/p/listen-to-...

Tomorrow 930 am Washington DC survivors speak. That is who we should all be listening to.

"In any semi-normal time, the Justice Department would acknowledge that Maxwell’s denial of her own conduct proved at trial means she has zero credibility…But credibility and truth were clearly not the goals of this so-called proffer.”
