LINKNuremberg Trial Prosecutor’s Warning About Trump’s War on the Rule of Law – BillMoyers.com
NOTE FROM BILL MOYERS: The author of this article is over 100 years old. He is the last living American prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials where Nazi perpetrators were brought to justice for their atrocities against humanity. Read his warning and read my interview with the legal scholar, James Whitman, on his book, Hitler’s American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law. Think upon the fragility of the rule of law and the importance of America standing firmly behind it.
