The Department, pressed into a defensive crouch, has never fully recovered. Injustice exposes not only the Trump administration's efforts to undermine the Department at every turn but also how delays in investigating Trump's effort to overturn the will of voters under Attorney General Merrick Garland helped prevent the country from holding Trump accountable and enabled his return to power. Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis take readers inside as prosecutors convulsed over Trump's disdain for the rule of law, and FBI agents, the department's storied investigators, at times retreated in fear. They take you to the rooms where Special Counsel Jack Smith's team set off on an all-but-impossible race to investigate Trump for absconding with classified documents and waging an assault on democracy--and inside his prosecution's heroic and fateful choices that ultimately backfired. With a plethora of sources deeply embedded in the ranks of three presidencies, Leonnig and Davis reveal the daily war secretly waged for the soul of the department, how it has been shredded by propaganda and partisanship, and how--if the United States hopes to live on with its same form of government--Trump's war with the Justice Department will mark a turning point from which it will be hard to recover" -- Dust jacket.14aTrump, Donald, d1946-10aUnited States.bDepartment of Justice.14aEstados Unidos. bDepartamento de Justicia  0aPolitical culturezUnited States. 4aAdministración de justicia zEstados Unidos  4aCultura política zEstados Unidos  0aPolitical corruptionzUnited States. 4aCorrupción PolíticazEstados Unidos 0aMisconduct in officezUnited States. 4aMala conducta en el cargo zEstados Unidos 7aAdministration of criminal justicezUnited States.2sears 7aAdministration of justicezUnited States.2sears 7aPolitical corruptionzUnited States.2sears 7aRule of law.2sears 0aUnited StatesxPolitics and governmenty21st century. 4aEstados Unidos xPolítica y gobiernoySiglo XXI 6aÉtats-UnisxPolitique et gouvernementy21e siècle. 7aUnited StatesxPolitics and government.2sears1 aDavis, Aaron C.
