JUSTICE LEFT THE CHAT - The Lincoln Project



Trump promised to restore law and order. Instead, critics argue he’s turned the Department of Justice into a weapon of political revenge, selective accountability, and loyalty tests.

This week, Rick Wilson is joined by Brendan Ballou, founder of the Public Integrity Project and author of When Companies Run the Courts, to unpack the growing concerns surrounding Trump’s DOJ—from politically motivated prosecutions and controversial pardons to the lingering questions around the Epstein files and the effort to rewrite the history of January 6th.

Rick and Brendan also expose how forced arbitration has quietly tilted the legal system in favor of powerful corporations, creating a parallel justice system where the rich and connected play by different rules.

If Americans can be convinced to forget an insurrection, what else can they be convinced to overlook? It’s a conversation about power, corruption, accountability, and the dangerous idea that justice is only for the people on the right side of power. - 06/23/2026.

and unleashed inflation and covid upon the world.

i think my memories are real. but so do they.

the truth is that whatever technology they are using to warp reality must be regulated or destroyed. data centers unplugged. crypto mines illegal. media decentralized. artificial intelligence subject to , at least, asimov's laws.
