We like to think our justice system is the fairest in the world – but is that actually true? Is Lady Justice blind in our country? Or do federal prosecutors actually commit perjury, doctor transcripts, and unfairly target innocent people? Why does the federal government have a 99% conviction rate if justice is a level playing field in the US? And what happens when a government prosecutor breaks the rules and unfairly gets a conviction – are they fired? Prosecuted? Or do they get promoted?

Our guest, Sidney Powell, served in the Department of Justice for ten years, and was lead counsel for over 500 cases. She is the author of Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice, and she’s going to help us understand just what the situation looks like and what we can do to make a difference.
