Summary
Brett L. Tolman— Executive Director for Right on Crime & former U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss criminal justice reform, the indictment of former President Donald Trump, and the draconian number of statutory federal crimes which has risen to nearly 4,500. Alarmingly, if the government wants to arrest you, they can almost certainly find a reason to legally “justify” it.
