# *Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice*

[![](https://object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/images/license-to-lie-cover.jpg)](http://www.amazon.com/Licensed-Lie-Exposing-Corruption-Department/dp/1612541496)

In *Licensed to Lie*, attorney Sidney Powell takes readers through a series of disturbing events, missteps, and cover-ups in our federal criminal justice system. According to Powell, the malfeasance stretches across all three branches of our government — from the White House to the U.S. Senate, to members of the judiciary. Even worse, the law itself is becoming pernicious. Americans can now be prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned for actions that are not crimes. And if acquitted, there is no recourse against prosecutors who hid evidence vital to the defense. Join us for a discussion of these distressing legal trends and what might be done about them.
