EPISODE 29 · July 16, 2026
Who Framed Roger Rogoff?
Roger Rogoff was unanimously appointed by federal judges as Seattle’s top federal prosecutor. Before the hour was over, President Trump removed him. Was it a loyalty test? A judicial power grab? Neither explanation tells the full story. This episode examines the legal authority of the judges, the president’s power to remove temporary appointees, the Senate’s missing role, and the deeper failure to install a permanent, publicly accountable prosecutor. The law may allow the chaos. That does not make the chaos responsible governance.
