Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how Virginia Western District US Attorney Todd Gilbert and senior prosecutor Zachary Lee were forced to resign after refusing to pursue Trump's "Russia hoax" conspiracy theory, as Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche pressured them to prosecute Obama administration officials including James Comey, Adam Schiff, and Letitia James despite finding no evidence. The hosts reveal how Gilbert, a Republican political star and former Virginia House Speaker with 14 years of prosecutorial experience confirmed in July 2025, concluded there was "nothing here, nothing to prosecute" after investigating documents in an FBI burn bag—standard procedure for destroying classified materials—while Bondi's office blamed Lee, a career prosecutor with over 20 years’ experience hired under George W. Bush, and brought in Trump-aligned Robert Tracci to pressure the office into filing charges. They detail how the persecution campaign faces insurmountable obstacles including the statute of limitations for alleged 2016 crimes and Trump's own Supreme Court ruling granting presidents’ immunity for official acts, while contrasting Gilbert and Lee's integrity with opportunists who abandon principles for political advancement as Trump's weaponization of the DOJ continues hitting roadblocks from prosecutors with spines.
