Pretty soon, you’re going to start to hear people tell you that it’s time to move on. They’ll say that accountability is too divisive, too hard, too costly
Federal agents going door to door checking on whether people intended to vote is the stuff of democratic nightmare. Normally, DOJ would have stopped this cold. In modern times, DOJ was committed to combating voter intimidation, not condoning it. But now the call is coming from inside the house.

We filed an amicus brief urging the Ninth Circuit to keep DHS’s “Unlawful Voter Initiative” blocked. Law enforcement must protect the right to vote: justiceconnection.substack.com/p/federal-la...

"The rule of law is precious and impunity is corrosive. We must all do our part to counter those who would undermine the rule of law for their own private benefit." - Beth Van Schaack, Former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice & Advisory Council Member at the Rule of Law Project
"Allegations of brutality by armed mass government agents terrorizing communities. A staggering array of apparent corruption. And a Department of Justice that has largely turned away from its historic mission of policing both." That's why we started The Rule of Law Project.
We are investigating criminal conduct by public officials and federal law enforcement. See what we're watching here: ruleoflawproject.org/watching/
What We’re Watching - The Rule of Law Project
A first look at the kind of conduct we are investigating: public corruption, state violence, and a culture of impunity.

Pardons are bought and sold. Contracts are steered to friends and family. Bribes are solicited and received in broad daylight. ➡️ No one is charged.
"The core of the rule of law is that no one is above the law. Now, more than ever in American history, it is urgent that we reaffirm this and apply it to those who have violated the law." - Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of UC Berkeley School of Law & Advisory Council Member of The Rule of Law Project.
Exactly what we need in the absence of a functioning U.S. Department of Justice. An organization of ex-prosecutors and investigators who can put cases together for future prosecutors who will restore accountability for corrupt federal officials and those who benefit from that corruption.
