Harry talks with Bob Bauer, the most prominent Democratic political lawyer of the last generation, about his new book, “The Unraveling.” The book, analyzes the contributions of lawyers to the politics-as-blood-sport that is our inheritance from the last 40 years of national campaigns. Looking back on a lifetime of representation of candidates, officials, and political institutions like the White House, Bauer analyzes the warrior's role, including pushing on the truth and demonizing the enemy. Many of these excesses helped pave the for the far greater and more vicious dishonesty of the Trump era. Bauer ends with an extended prescription for restoring ethics and a sense of institutional values to political lawyering.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Al Sharpton join Jen to reflect on the state of the race, including Harris's veepstakes and Donald Trump backing out of a presidential debate that he already agreed to. Next, Jen fact-checks JD Vance and the GOP's pro-family agenda with a reminder for voters to "watch what they do, not what they say." Rep. Elissa Slotkin joins Jen to discuss a variety of topics, including Trump's pro-Putin comments at a recent rally, her Senate race in Michigan, and more. Later, Jen is joined by The Bulwark publisher Sarah Longwell to reflect on Harris's search for a running mate based on her latest focus groups with swing-state voters. Jen also breaks down how the negotiations came together in the deal that allowed Evan Gershkovich and three other Americans to return home from prison in Russia, describing it as one of the "good days" in diplomacy.

The world's attention turns to Kamala Harris after President Biden dropped out of the race. Endorsements for the VP are coming in fast and furious from heavyweight Democrats including potential rivals who hope Harris is their best chance to defeat Donald Trump in November. There appears to be little appetite for a contested convention, and so far no one else has announced their candidacy.

On this week's episode of The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart: Donald Trump rallies religious activists at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference with the same old rants and lies while declaring, without a hint of irony, his love for the Ten Commandments. Susan Del Percio and Ashley Etienne join me to discuss the politics of all this and more. Running out the Clock: The Supreme Court has just days to decide more than a dozen pivotal cases, including Trump's claim of presidential immunity. Mark Joseph Stern and Leah Litman weigh in on if justice delayed will be justice denied. And Debate Countdown: In the final weekend before the debate showdown in Atlanta on Thursday, I talk with Bob Bauer, Biden's personal attorney who we learned is helping the president prep for his debate with his disgraced predecessor. And as a former White House counsel, Bauer weighs in on Trump's claim of presidential immunity. Rep. Maxine Waters also joins us to talk about coming face to face in court with the man who targeted her with racist death threats. All that and more on The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.
Bob Bauer is President Joe Biden's personal lawyer and was general counsel to both of Barack Obama's presidential campaigns. But over the last three decades, he's developed another specialty practice: playing the role of his candidate's rival during debate prep. Bauer has helped Democratic candidates prepare for debates by playing the likes of Bernie Sanders, Al Gore, and Donald Trump. He's also been involved with efforts to reform the process and production of presidential debates themselves. So with the first presidential debate less than one week away, and both Biden and Trump cramming to prepare for it, Bauer is joining the show to preview the event, as well as to discuss his new book, “The Unraveling: Reflections on Politics without Ethics and Democracy in Crisis”. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Bob Bauer is a lawyer for President Biden and a veteran Democratic debate coach. Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.

In an undisclosed strategy last year, high-ranking officials within President Biden's administration were orchestrating an exit strategy for White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre. These insiders have spoken to us on condition of anonymity, revealing that Jean-Pierre, a trailblazer as the first African American and first openly LGTBQ+ individual to hold the role, had irked her superiors by repeatedly serving rehearsed responses from a script during her press briefings. This style of communication was perceived as lacking the spontaneity and credibility needed to bolster the image of 81-year-old Biden as he gears up for his upcoming re-election push. Consequently, a reshuffle in the ranks seemed to be in order, according to our insiders. Anita Dunn, reputed White House communication supremo and spouse to Biden's personal attorney, Bob Bauer, allegedly intended to introduce key figures from the Democratic fold to suggest to Jean-Pierre that her tenure at the podium was nearing its end. According to our sources, Dunn believed the time was ripe to convey this sentiment to the 49-year-old. 'Anita initiated the engagement of several individuals in the broader party community to liaise with Karine on the matter', one source disclosed, attributing this information directly to Dunn. Our source also revealed that Dunn insisted that White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients had given the green light to this covert plot to facilitate Jean-Pierre's departure from the executive office. The source offered this account, 'An effort was deployed to have trusted acquaintances of Karine discuss why leaving in the fall might align perfectly with her career trajectory.' They also reported that this strategy was meant to nudge Jean-Pierre towards her own departure and that these talks were geared towards 'advising her as to why she might benefit from taking the hint.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Insurrection Act is a provision that allows the president to deploy the U.S. military for domestic law enforcement. It's been invoked dozens of times by presidents to respond to crises in the over 230 years that it's been around, but it hasn't been reformed in centuries. In recent years, the Insurrection Act has come back into public focus because of its implication in a number of domestic crises, prompting a renewed conversation about whether it's finally time to curb the sweeping powers afforded to the executive in this unique federal law.On April 8, the American Law Institute released a set of principles for Insurrection Act reform, prepared by a group of 10 individuals with backgrounds in constitutional law, national security law, and military law. The co-chairs of this group were Jack Goldsmith, Lawfare Co-Founder and Harvard Law School Professor, and Bob Bauer, Professor of Practice and Distinguished Scholar in Residence at New York University School of Law. They joined Lawfare Associate Editor Hyemin Han to talk about the history of the Insurrection Act, to parse out the recommendations the American Law Institute is making for reform, and to make the case for reforming the act in 2024.

Next, attorney Bob Bauer takes us inside the room where Special Counsel Robert Hur interviewed his client, President Biden. Among other things, Bauer discusses the types of questions that Hur asked of the President for over 5 hours in what should have been an open and shut case. Jen breaks down how Trump's comments inviting Vladimir Putin to attack NATO allies undermine the work President Biden has done to reaffirm the United States' position on the world stage. Jen is joined by Senator Tim Kaine who calls out his colleagues who once supported NATO but now are backing up the former President's efforts to undermine the alliance. Finally, Jen explains why Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s MAGA-funded presidential campaign is an insult to the Kennedy legacy.

Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del miércoles 23 de agosto de 2023: - El presidente Joe Biden anunció el martes que el nuevo abogado de la Casa Blanca será Ed Siskel, un ex abogado de la administración Obama que ayudó a elaborar la respuesta a las investigaciones del Congreso sobre el ataque de Bengasi de 2012 que mató a cuatro estadounidenses, incluido el embajador de Estados Unidos. Siskel, que comenzará en septiembre, asume el cargo durante un momento crítico en la Casa Blanca, cuando Biden está compitiendo por la reelección y las investigaciones judiciales y del Congreso sobre su administración y su familia están en pleno apogeo. Los republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes también están hablando de abrir una investigación de juicio político contra el presidente demócrata. "Los muchos años de experiencia de Ed Siskel en el servicio público y su carrera defendiendo el Estado de derecho lo convierten en la elección perfecta para ser mi próximo abogado de la Casa Blanca", dijo Biden en un comunicado. El abogado personal de Biden sigue siendo Bob Bauer, que representa al presidente a título personal, sobre todo en asuntos relacionados con los documentos clasificados encontrados en su oficina y su casa en Wilmington, Delaware. Siskel reemplaza a Stuart Delery, quien pasó casi tres años en el puesto. Delery se unió al equipo legal de transición de Biden después de que Biden derrotara al entonces presidente Trump en noviembre de 2020. Delery se desempeñó como abogado adjunto antes de ser ascendido al puesto más alto el verano pasado después de que el primer abogado de Biden, Dana Remus, abandonara la Casa Blanca. FUENTE: AP El expresidente Donald Trump confirmó el domingo que se ausentará del primer debate de las primarias presidenciales republicanas del miércoles y también de otros. "El público sabe quién soy y qué presidencia exitosa tuve", escribió Trump en su sitio de redes sociales. “¡POR LO TANTO NO ESTARÉ HACIENDO LOS DEBATES!” Su portavoz no aclaró de inmediato si planea boicotear todos los debates primarios o sólo los que están programados actualmente. El ex presidente y uno de los primeros favoritos del Partido Republicano había dicho durante meses que veía pocas ventajas en unirse a sus rivales republicanos en el escenario cuando se reunieran por primera vez en Milwaukee el miércoles, dada su amplia ventaja en la carrera. Y había dejado claro a aquellos con quienes había hablado en los últimos días que su opinión no había cambiado. Mientras tanto, los rivales de Trump lo habían estado incitando a presentarse y preparándose con la esperanza de que lo hiciera, preocupados de que una ausencia pudiera hacerlos aparecer como candidatos de segundo nivel y negarles la oportunidad de asestar un golpe de gracia contra el Goliat de la carrera que podría cambiar la trayectoria de la carrera. El exgobernador de Nueva Jersey, Chris Christie, uno de los pocos candidatos dispuestos a enfrentarse directamente a Trump, ha estado acusando al expresidente de carecer de “las agallas para presentarse” y llamándolo “cobarde” si no lo hace. Un súper PAC que apoya a DeSantis publicó un anuncio en el que el narrador dice: “No podemos permitirnos el lujo de un candidato que sea demasiado débil para debatir”. Y el portavoz de la campaña de DeSantis, Andrew Romeo, añadió que “nadie tiene derecho a esta nominación, incluido Donald Trump. Tienes que hacerse presente. FUENTE: AP

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: Earlier today, President Joe Biden's personal attorney Bob Bauer announced via a statement that the FBI will search Biden's home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Bauer said: “The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to fully support and facilitate. We will have further information at the conclusion of today's search.” According to the Washington Post, the search concluded after three-and-a-half hours. Ian Sams of the White House Counsel's Office spoke with reporters on Wednesday—though, he conveyed very little information about President Biden's mishandling of classified documents. Sams claimed the Biden Administration has been “transparent” while refusing to answer whether the FBI will conduct searches at any other properties associated with President Biden. Sams also refused to say if any additional classified information was discovered during the FBI's search of the president's Rehoboth Beach home on Wednesday morning. Even mainstream news outlets are turning on the Biden Administration for their lack of transparency regarding the President's mishandling of classified materials. For example, CBS News correspondent Adriana Diaz expressed frustration with how the White House has handled the situation. On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre spoke with reporters—but, much like Ian Sams, she offered almost no details on Biden's mishandling of classified documents. While speaking with MSNBC, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was unable to answer where an estimated 600,000 “got-away” migrants—individuals who crossed the U.S. Southern border illegally and undetected without formally seeking asylum—are currently located. Zeoli announces that John Paul Mac Isaac—the electronics repairman inadvertently caught up in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal—will be joining him for a 1210 WPHT Speaker Series on February 23rd in person at FOP Lodge #5!

CNBC reports: FBI agents on Wednesday are searching the Rehoboth, Delaware, beach home of President Joe Biden as part of an investigation into the previous discovery of classified documents at other locations connected to the president, his personal lawyer said. The planned, consensual visit is the first publicly known time that the FBI conducted a search of the Rehoboth residence. Agents did not obtain a warrant for the search. The Department of Justice is investigating the discovery of classified documents at a private office in a Washington, D.C., think tank that Biden had used while a private citizen, and at his residence in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden's personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, previously has said that the president's lawyers searched the Rehoboth home and the Wilmington residence on Jan. 11. Classified records were found in Wilmington by those attorneys, but not in Rehoboth, according to Bauer. The FBI searched the think tank office in mid-November after Biden's personal lawyers first found classified records there on Nov. 2. The FBI searched Biden's Wilmington home on Jan. 20. Bauer, in a statement Wednesday, said, “Today, with the President's full support and cooperation, the DOJ is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
More classified documents have been discovered at President Biden's Delaware home. NBC reports: Six additional items, including documents with classified markings, were found in President Joe Biden's Delaware home after Justice Department officials searched the residence Friday, the president's personal attorney said Saturday. The search was prompted by the White House, not the Justice Department, according to a White House official and a source familiar with the matter. The documents at the Wilmington, Delaware, home appear to be related to his time as vice president as well as to his tenure in the U.S. Senate and were found after Biden's counsel offered full access to the premises as the department investigates his possession of classified material, Bob Bauer, Biden's personal attorney, said in a statement. “DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President's service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President," Bauer said.

Reveal host Al Letson talks with leading academics and journalists to take the temperature of American democracy: What did we expect from the midterms, what did we get, and what does that mean for 2024? Reveal's Ese Olumhense and Mother Jones senior reporter Ari Berman discuss how gerrymandering, abortion rights, election denial and fear of voting crimes played out in contentious states like Arizona, Wisconsin and Florida. Next, Andrea Bernstein and Ilya Marritz, who report on threats to democracy for ProPublica and are hosts of the podcast WIll Be Wild, join Letson to discuss how the violence and disinformation that sparked the Jan. 6 insurrection continues to shape the country's political landscape. The reporters tell the story of how the Department of Homeland Security backed off efforts to identify and combat false information after Republican pundits and politicians accused the Biden administration of stomping on the free speech rights of anyone who disagrees with them. Then, reporter Jessica Pishko delves into the world of a group called the constitutional sheriffs. This association of rogue sheriffs claims to be the highest law in the land and has increasingly come to see themselves as election police. Pishko attends a meeting in Arizona where Richard Mack, a leader of the movement who has also been involved with the far-right Oath Keepers, extols the rights of sheriffs to get involved in monitoring elections. In recent years, this right-wing group has grown from a fringe organization to one with national power and prominence. Pishko discusses the chilling effect these sheriffs have on voting. In his time as president, Donald Trump bucked the norms and mixed presidential duties with personal business, refused to release his tax returns and pardoned his political allies.This week, he announced he's running for president again in 2024. Letson speaks with two lawyers who have spent the past two years identifying how to rein in presidential power and close loopholes Trump exposed: Bob Bauer, former White House counsel for President Barack Obama, and Jack Goldsmith, former assistant attorney general in President George W. Bush's Office of Legal Counsel. They're also co-authors of the 2020 book “After Trump: Reconstructing the Presidency.” Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/newsletter Connect with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram

In battleground states across the nation, disinformation and partisan accusations have fed a growing lack of public confidence in America's democratic process. Hoover Institution visiting fellow Ben Ginsberg, a preeminent authority on election law, interviews NYU Law professor Bob Bauer and Maricopa County supervisor Bill Gates on the root causes for the electorate's trust going off the rails and suggested reforms to reassure those doubters that future elections are conducted honestly, with their votes counted accurately.
Ben Ginsberg and Bob Bauer with Pam Fessler: Safeguarding Free And Fair Elections – Two Election Lawyers (R & D) Discuss
In our first episode, we explore some of President Trump's most brazen transgressions—the conflicts of interest, the self-dealing and those elusive tax returns. In the run up to his inauguration, Trump created a sort of original sin when it came to his conflicts of interest, proclaiming that he is above any conflict of interest norms and regulation. Throughout his presidency, Trump continued to challenge any transparency when it came to his personal dealings and conflicts while in office.Virginia Heffernan explains how After Trump authors Bob Bauer and Jack Goldsmith propose reforming our laws and norms on a President's financial ties and activities while in office.

President-elect Joe Biden is continuing his transition plans by narrowing down his list of potential West Wing advisers. Biden has chosen his longtime adviser Ron Klain as White House chief of staff. Meanwhile, Pres. Trump, who continues to fight the results of the election with baseless accusations, met with political advisers to discuss a path forward. Thomas Friedman is a columnist for The New York Times. He tells Anderson Cooper we have a President “who puts himself before country” and who is “trying to soil what is actually the greatest expression of our democracy.” Plus, Trump’s refusal to accept the election results has stalled the required steps to transition government to President-elect Biden. Bob Bauer is a Senior Adviser to the Biden Campaign. He joins AC360 and says the election will not be overturned.

How well have political and legal norms held up in our politics during the Trump presidency? In November 2017, Jack Goldsmith, a professor of Law at Harvard and a former Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel, shared his assessment of the early days of the Trump presidency. Now, as we head to the end of 2020, Goldsmith re-joins us to consider where things stand today. Goldsmith argues that American institutions and legal norms have retained some resilience over the course of Trump's presidency. However, he analyzes how checks and constraints on norm-violating or corrupt behavior have weakened in many areas over the last three years. Drawing on his recent book (coauthored with Bob Bauer), After Trump: Reconstructing the Presidency, Goldsmith explains how future congresses should consider legislative remedies to restore norms in politics. But the heart of the matter, Goldsmith contends, is that the potential for a restoration of norms in our politics principally depends on whether future presidents will make adherence to norms a priority.
