What’s happened to justice in America — and to the Department of Justice? Today we’ll host Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis for a rescehduled talk about their new book, Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America’s Justice Department, and how Donald Trump managed to use the machinery of America’s justice system against itself to escape responsibility for the assault on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 and ultimately to retake the presidency — and continue his unprecedented attack on the rule of law in the United States.

How to participate in the Book Club

Each week, we’ll post questions — our discussion guide — on Sunday, and every other Wednesday we’ll meet for a discussion with the Club or a visit from an author or other special guest. Look out for posts with further details. In between, we also host chat threads to get your insight on key questions in advance of our meetings. We’ll meet today, Thursday, January 8th, at 12:30 p.m. Eastern with journalists Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis about their new book, Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America’s Justice Department and why the DOJ lost its way, and how that translates into the lawlessness we are witnessing today in so many realms.
