Pulitzer-Prize reporters Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis expose Merrick Garland’s missteps at the U.S. Department of Justice—and offer five hard-earned lessons for Democrats planning accountability in the post-Trump era.
In their new book Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America’s Justice Department, Pulitzer-Prize winners Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis deliver an unflinching portrait of how the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) under Attorney General Merrick Garland failed to act decisively at a critical political juncture.
For Democrats that will someday hold power again, this is more than history — it is a cautionary blueprint packed with lessons on how not to execute legal accountability.
