Appalled by the terrible injustices she had recently witnessed in our federal courts, Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor, published Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice in 2014.1 Powell did not want to write Licensed to Lie. She was compelled to do so. The book reads like a legal thriller, but sadly it’s true, and it names the very powerful people who promoted their own interests by abusing their powers as federal prosecutors. They made up criminal charges, hid evidence, and lied to judges to win convictions. In the process, they destroyed companies, jobs, families, careers, and lives, contributing to an erosion of Americans’ faith in our criminal justice system, while simultaneously propelling themselves to positions of great power and prestige in the government and in private practice.
