We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account.
Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.
Exactly what we need in the absence of a functioning U.S. Department of Justice. An organization of ex-prosecutors and investigators who help can put cases together for current and future prosecutors who will restore accountability for corrupt federal officials and those who benefit from that corruption.

"When politics gets in the way of prosecutions, the best way to ensure future justice is to build evidentiary cases now. That has proven true in lawless situations around the world. It is needed in the United States today."
@KenRoth, Former Executive Director of Human Rights Watch & Board Member of The Rule of Law Project.
“As long as the need is there, we’re going to do business.”
- Mark Blumberg on the Project’s commitment to ensuring accountability and restoring the rule of law.
“We are not going to shy away from anything in which we can develop evidence which proves a prosecutable case.”
- Mark Blumberg, the Project’s Executive Director & Chief Legal Counsel, on the need for accountability without fear or favor.
Here's how we're going to choose our cases — and what success looks like.
Watch Brad Adams and Mark Blumberg discuss The Rule of law Project on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace and Andrew Weissmann:
Andrew Weissmann explains how The Rule of Law Project gets around the problem of the "federal pardon power."
Hear about the Project's "brilliant move."
"There are many places that have been broken that have been fixed."
- Brad Adams, discussing the hard work of re-building the rule of law in the United States. Watch on MSNOW:
"People need a place to turn when they feel helpless and broken, and powerful institutions turn their back on them. The DOJ was that place, but they've turned their back on that mission."
-Mark Blumberg, Executive Director & Chief Legal Counsel of The Rule of Law Project
New: A group of former investigators intends to probe corruption and ICE violence being ignored by DOJ, with the idea of presenting the cases to local, state or future federal prosecutors.

We are facing a crisis of accountability.
Federal officials and their private-sector enablers are violating federal, state, and international law on a daily basis, with open contempt for the rule of law, and the public’s ability to stop them is rapidly diminishing.
