A NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB 'MUST-READ' CNN senior legal analyst and
nationally bestselling author Elie Honig explores America's
two-tier justice system, explaining how the rich, the famous, and
the powerful- including, most notoriously, Donald Trump-manipulate
the legal system to escape justice and get away with vast misdeeds.
How does he get away with it? That question, more than any other,
vexes observers of and participants in the American criminal
justice process. How do powerful people weaponize their wealth,
political power, and fame to beat the system? And how can
prosecutors fight back? In Untouchable, Elie Honig exposes how the
rich and powerful use the system to their own benefit, revealing
how notorious figures like Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey
Weinstein, and Bill Cosby successfully eluded justice for decades.
He demonstrates how the Trump children dodged a fraud indictment.
He makes clear how countless CEOs and titans of Wall Street have
been let off the hook, receiving financial penalties without
suffering criminal consequences. This doesn't happen by accident.
Over the four years of his administration, Donald Trump's
corruption seemed plain for all to see. The former president
obstructed justice, flouted his responsibility to the Constitution,
lied to the American people, and set the United States on a dark
path to disunity and violence. Yet he has never been held
accountable for any of his misdeeds. Why not? Untouchable holds the
answer. Honig shows how Trump and others use seemingly fair
institutions and practices to build empires of corruption and get
away with misdeeds for which ordinary people would be sentenced to
years behind bars. It's not just that money talks, Honig makes
clear, but how it can corrupt otherwise reliable institutions and
blind people to the real power dynamics behind the scenes. In this
vital, incisive book, Honig explains how the system allows the
powerful to become untouchable, takes us inside their heads, and
offers solutions for making the system more honest and fairer,
ensuring true justice for all-holding everyone, no matter their
status, accountable for their criminal misdeeds.
