No Comments on Compliance into the Weeds: The DOJ in Crisis

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Are you looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this Compliance into the Weeds episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly review the recent astonishing developments at the Justice Department involving the indictment and subsequent attempted dismissal of charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Tom and Matt explore the implications for corporate compliance professionals and the broader message this dysfunction sends about ethics and the role of compliance programs under the current administration. They consider the possible repercussions for future corporate enforcement, drawing important parallels between the Justice Department’s actions and the expectations for corporate compliance. They emphasize the necessity of disentailing the ethical dysfunction at the department from the practical guidelines for compliance programs. The episode critically analyzes how political maneuvers affect the justice system and corporate compliance standards.

Key highlights:

The Eric Adams Indictment
Resignations and Internal Conflict
Separating DOJ Integrity from Compliance Guidance
Tone at the Top vs. Mood at the Middle
Future of Compliance Guidelines
