Justice Still Stands

From veteran Department of Justice prosecutor Mimi Rocah, an unique insider’s view, including unreported details, of the ongoing attack on the Department of Justice, Big Law and the courts, by President Trump and his loyalists—and the unsung heroes fighting back, with a foreword by one of those heroes: Maurene Comey. The Department of Justice was created to be the shield of the American Constitution, not the sword of a single leader. But since January 2025, that foundation has been deliberately and systematically dismantled. Mimi Rocah, a former federal prosecutor and legal expert in the inner workings of the Justice Department, breaks down the complete takeover of the DOJ by Trump and his loyalist DOJ leaders. Blending media reports, firsthand accounts from those fighting back, and her own personal experiences as a career prosecutor, she delivers a definitive, boots-on-the-ground account of how the American justice system is under attack from those charged with protecting it—and why the rule of law is still holding, for now. The DOJ’s immense powers have been used in unprecedented ways under the leadership of Pamela J. Bondi, and Rocah’s former close friend and colleague Todd Blanche, to protect and reward the president and his allies and punish the president’s perceived enemies. From the pardoning of 1,500 January 6th rioters and the Epstein files coverup to the perverse investigations of American citizens in Minnesota to revenge prosecutions against former government officials, from coercing Big Law into compliance and attacks on the courts,, Justice Still Stands is a chronicle of a historic assault on our democratic processes. Career prosecutors and FBI agents who are the heart and soul of this institution have been deliberately targeted and over 16,000 employees forced to leave the Department.
