The DA Who Refused to Play the Game (with Mimi Rocah)

from Stay Tuned with Preet · host Preet Bharara

Mimi Rocah is the former District Attorney for Westchester County, and Preet’s former colleague at the Southern District of New York. She made national news when she announced her run for DA in 2019, and sent shockwaves through the legal community when she decided not to seek re-election last year.  She joins Preet to discuss her remarkable choice to step away, the political circumstances surrounding her decision, and why DA-ships across the country may be structurally unsound.   Then, Preet discusses the legacy—and threat—of patronage at the DOJ.
