The Rule of Law Project

No one is above the law.

[The Rule of Law Project @RuleOfLaw_Proj]

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.

We are investigating criminal conduct by public officials and federal law enforcement. See what we're watching here:

"A constitutional republic cannot long endure when criminal law enforcement puts the politics of revenge ahead of the justice of accountability. The Rule of Law Project is brilliantly designed to combat that lethal perversion of priorities at this historic time of testing. I’m honored to join its Advisory Council."
- Laurence H. Tribe (@tribelaw), Carl M. Loeb University Professor, Emeritus, Harvard University.

Pardons are bought and sold. Contracts are steered to friends and family. Bribes are solicited and received in broad daylight.
➡️ No one is charged.

American communities are terrorized by armed, masked government agents. People are held in detention under the cruelest of conditions. Citizens are shot and killed on city streets.
➡️ No one is held to account.

We exist to change that. Help us restore the expectation that the criminal conduct has consequences.

"The core of the rule of law is that no one is above the law. Now, more than ever in American history, it is urgent that we reaffirm this and apply it to those who have violated the law. The rule of law is non-partisan; indeed, its very essence is that everyone should be treated equally under the law."
- Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of UC Berkeley School of Law & Advisory Council Member of The Rule of Law Project.

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.
