Special Prosecutor's Office

Description

Partisan prosecutors thrust immunity deals at Charlie Young, Leo's gravelly warnings of bankruptcy ruin and law school exile slashing through the air as loyalty frays under subpoena shadows. Clem Rollins commands this federal predator, unleashing leaks that ignite press infernos, hallway ambushes, and grand jury claws devouring Bartlet family testimonies, White House aides' defenses, and MS cover-up alibis. Babish's backchannel pleas rebound off Rollins' iron facade; immunity traps and privilege crucibles shatter staff solidarity, weaponizing legal peril to fracture the administration's core in high-stakes constitutional bloodletting.
