Lina Khan recently concluded her term as one of the Biden administration's most controversial leaders. Her tenure as chair of the Federal Trade Commission raised the profile of the relatively obscure antitrust agency charged with protecting competition. Her anti-monopoly outlook and more aggressive enforcement strategies, particularly toward Big Tech market power and protecting workers, earned the ire of the business community and the dedicated vitriol of the Wall Street Journal editorial board.Khan began her term as the youngest-ever appointee of the FTC. She initially rose to prominence for her 2017 Yale Law Journal article, “Amazon's Antitrust Paradox,” which went viral among the antitrust community for its argument that scholars and regulators must look beyond prices to understand what constitutes a harm from a lack of competition, especially in today's digital economy where many services are nominally provided for free to consumers. Fresh out of law school, Khan appeared on a Capitalisn't episode in our first season and wrote for our sister publication at the Stigler Center, ProMarket, as far back as 2018. She also delivered two keynote addresses at the Stigler Center's annual Antitrust and Competition Conferences while FTC chair.On this episode, Khan returns to Capitalisn't to reflect on her tenure, her vision of capitalism, and how her approach to enforcing existing laws with new thinking may have impacted the everyday lives of Americans. How does she respond to her critics, who include major Democratic business leaders? How does she view the new Trump administration, which is continuing many of her transformative policies, including revised merger guidelines and major lawsuits? As a senator, Vice President JD Vance said she was “one of the few people in the Biden administration actually doing a pretty good job.” Reflecting on her work, Khan also touches upon how conflicts of interest among corporate lawyers and consultants, former bureaucrats, and academics distort policymaking, court rulings, and market outcomes. Finally, she highlights the antitrust issues to pay attention to moving forward, such as algorithmic collusion.Show Notes: Also, check out ProMarket's series on the future of the Neo-Brandesian movement, of which Lina Khan is an emblematic figure.

What are the legal implications of the unprecedented mass pardoning of the January 6th rioters? What does it say about American rule of law? President Biden's DOJ prosecuted nearly 1,600 of the January 6, 2021, rioters—many for acts of shocking violence against police and government offices. On January 20, newly sworn-in President Trump, in one of his first official acts, issued a sweeping grant of clemency to all of the rioters charged in connection with the attack on the Capitol attack. He pardoned most defendants and commuted the sentences of 14 members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers militia, most of whom had been convicted of seditious conspiracy. The response from some of these violent rioters since the pardons has been alarming.“The people who did this, they need to feel the heat. We need to find and put them behind bars for what they did,” said Enrique Tarrio, the former national Proud Boys leader, sentenced to a 22-year sentence on seditious conspiracy charges, on Alex Jones' podcast soon after his pardon. Our guests today are Stanford Law Professor Shirin Sinnar and former DOJ prosecutor Brendan Ballou.Sinnar's scholarship, including a recent study of hate groups, focuses on the legal treatment of political violence, the procedural dimensions of civil rights litigation, and the role of institutions in protecting individual rights and democratic values in the national security contextBallou was a lawyer at the Department of Justice for five years. He resigned on January 23 soon after President Trump's pardons. In a New York Times opinion essay, he wrote: “For while some convicted rioters seem genuinely remorseful, and others appear simply ready to put politics behind them, many others are emboldened by the termination of what they see as unjust prosecutions. Freed by the president, they have never been more dangerous.” He graduated from Stanford Law in 2016.Links:Shirin Sinnar >>> Stanford Law pageNew York Times piece by Brendan Ballou >>> I Prosecuted the Capitol Rioters.

I call this episode “Anchor's Aweigh” for two reasons. First, there is a potential seismic shift in federal sentencing coming, which would go far to eliminate what we call the dreaded “anchoring effect” of the draconian and deeply dysfunctional sentencing guidelines. If this passes, it will likely be the biggest change in guideline sentencing since Booker was decided twenty years ago. The other reason for the title is because the achor's up on the new ship of state, and anyone paying attention should feel deeply unmoored. The vessel is powering through dark and dangerous waters, with seemingly nothing other than doom on the horizon, particularly when it comes to our criminal system. If you are not a guidelines nerd, and you'd like to hear our take on recent pardons and relevant executive orders from the new administration, then fast forward to 24:30. Lastly, please excuse the bad quality of the recording. I had the pleasure of being in the same physical space ("IRL" as the kids call it) with Mark Allenbaugh, which is a very rare occurrence. So we hunkered down in a booth at Jack's Steakhouse and Seafood in Bismark, North Dakota (https://jackssteakhouse.net), and recorded this episode. The "live" element without my good sound stuff explains why the recording is a little wonky. IN THIS EPISODE: Proposed guideline amendments eliminating departures and limiting supervised release; Thoughts on the sweeping pardons issued by both the Biden and Trump administration; Thoughts on some of the new executive orders that will significantly impact federal criminal law.

Restitution is often imposed to compensate crime victims for their losses. Done correctly, it can help victims recover and allow offenders to move on after serving their sentence. However, defense attorneys sometimes overlook restitution issues, resulting in burdensome payment orders. These can extend prison time and hinder reintegration after release, making restitution effectively a lifelong punishment. So, in Episode 106 of Set for Sentencing, we welcome back Ashley Adams, a former united states attorney and incredible white collar criminal defense attorney in Phoenix, AZ. Together, we take a deep dive into the wonderful world of restitution. IN THIS EPISODE: Exemptions under state law don't necessarily apply with the feds; The “20 year rule” for restitution orders; Negotiating restitution issues in the plea negotiations; Whether and how a payment schedule can be modified; What happens when you catch the “FLU”, or rather the “FLU” catches you (i.e. what does debt collection look like with the Financial Litigation Unit of the DOJ; The ins and outs of the “Inmate Financial Responsibility Program” Navigating probation or supervised release with a restitution order; Vulnerability of a spouse's assets in a “community property” state; Charging orders in partnerships; The government going after kids' college funds; Whether and how the government can go after foreign assets.
