President-elect Trump has indicated he may use executive power to direct the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute certain individuals. This would be a “terrible idea,” according to CERL Executive Board member Stuart Gerson, as quoted in a TickleTheWire.com article, though not illegal.

Stuart Gerson is a Member of the Firm at Epstein Becker Green, former Acting Attorney General of the United States, and Founding Member of Checks & Balances. He is also a member of the CERL Executive Board. Read his bio here.
