CAFE Insider Sample 3/15: DOJ Report Card

Attorney General Merrick Garland and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco are making headlines this week. So are the January 6th Committee and the DOJ's new "KleptoCapture Task Force." In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet and Joyce discuss the conviction of the first January 6th rioter to stand trial and the indictment of the leader of the Proud Boys on multiple charges relating to January 6th. They also break down the “obstruction of an official proceeding” statute that prosecutors are charging in many January 6th cases. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss:  – The completion of Merrick Garland’s first year as Attorney General; – The lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee against the January 6th Committee seeking to block a subpoena relating to RNC email campaigns; and – The launch of the Department of Justice’s “KleptoCapture Task Force” targeting Russian oligarchs who are supporting Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
