The probe stems from a mishandled post-conviction case that has dogged the office for months, rooted in two prosecutors who became critical of how Krasner dealt with the case, who claim his loyalty was not to the truth, but to \u201cprotecting the office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Krasner has denied any wrongdoing and accused the federal judge who recommended the investigation of acting unfairly, calling him a \u201cringmaster\u201d of a \u201ccircus.\u201d He has also called the DOJ under President Donald Trump \u201can attack arm for people the President perceives as enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today on the show: a reporter walks us through the timeline of events leading to the DOJ\u2019s involvement and unpacks where the case could go from here.
