Episode Details

On this episode of Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Nick Akerman, former federal prosecutor and Assistant United States Attorney in the SDNY, where he specialized in white-collar crime. Akerman, also renowned for his role as Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor, shares his expertise as we discuss Judge Merchan’s decision to deny Trump’s motion to dismiss in the Manhattan DA case. We delve into the implications of Trump’s promise to pardon January 6th insurrectionists and the erosion of democratic guardrails under his authoritarian agenda. Akerman highlights Trump’s ability to exploit the legal system, particularly leveraging recent Supreme Court rulings that could shield him from accountability. Together, we explore the chilling impact of Trump’s litigation strategies and his disregard for constitutional norms.
