The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act has been on the books for more than half a century, and Georgia's version was enacted in 1980. The 13th episode of Season Nine of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Breakdown podcast — “The Trump Grand Jury” — takes a deep look at RICO. The episode traces its origin as a prosecutorial weapon to take Mafia dons off the streets. It also looks at how RICO has been used in recent years against schoolteachers, a metro Atlanta sheriff and street gangs. Legal experts following the Fulton County special purpose grand jury investigation into what happened here after the 2020 presidential election say that racketeering charges could ultimately be brought in this case. Episode 13 — “Who's Rico?” — also looks at a key member of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham's legal team: Don McGahn. McGahn is one of three lawyers hired by Graham who contends the U.S. Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause protects him from having to honor his out-of-state material witness subpoena and testify before the special grand jury.

"Tooting a horn is not an expression of any great thought I'm aware of," Justice Hugh McLean of the Ottawa Superior Court said. He also said the ban on honking would not rob demonstrators of their right to protest. Journalist Élie Cantin-Nantel tweeted that, so far, the truckers appear to be complying. A convoy of truckers and other demonstrators protesting Canada's COVID-19 policies entered Ottawa on Jan. 29 and has been blocking streets and using horns ever since. Protesters also cooked food, set up bouncy castles, held impromptu dance parties, and played street hockey. https://twitter.com/backtolife_2019/status/1490632512414097409?s=20&t=DMD9DK_ZWpx0r5a8pvd9zQ Meanwhile, Hundreds of protestors (thousands?) gathered in the streets of Turin, Italy to eat together, protesting vaccine mandates. And next to Psalm sing protests, that’s about the next most Christian thing you could do. And if the truckers do decided to relax the honking, I hope they will all decide to honk at stated times, maybe at noon every day? Or at the beginning and close of business hours. Speaking of feasting and protesting: Idaho Family Policy Center is on the frontline of the battle to protect faith, freedom, and family values in the Gem State, and I'm excited to announce that we are hosting our first-ever Spring Banquet on March 10, 2022, at Still Water Hollow in Nampa, Idaho. We would love for you to join us for this unforgettable evening, which will feature Gary Demar, a renowned Christian apologist and cultural commentator, as the keynote speaker. Gary has served as president of American Vision for nearly four decades. His monumental work, God and Government, has long been the quintessential textbook on government for Christian private and homeschooling students. We ask that you consider partnering with us at this event as a table host by sponsoring a table of eight for $600. You will then have the opportunity to invite seven guests to join you for the evening as we fill the room with like-minded men and women who are ready to engage the culture and advance the lordship of Jesus Christ in Idaho. Your prayers and support are the backbone of our work. By sponsoring a table or making a tax-deductible gift in your absence, you will help support our commitment to promote God-honoring legislation, engage the church, and train statesmen to advocate our Christian values.

Possible Biden Nominees https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/06/us/leondra-kruger-supreme-court.html?smid=tw-share Leondra R. Kruger is on President Biden’s short list of candidates to succeed Justice Stephen G. Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court. Senate Republican leaders have warned that they will oppose “radical left” nominees. But jurists across the political spectrum say that, like the president, Justice Kruger’s hallmark is moderation. “She’s a consensus builder,” said Tani Cantil-Sakauye, the chief justice of the California Supreme Court, who was appointed in 2011 by a Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. “Beyond her obviously glittering Ivy League education and her brilliant mind is this incredibly humble, self-effacing personality who is very persuasive in bringing groups together on different legal arcs.” That instinct for reasoned persuasion has made Justice Kruger, 45, a powerful backstage force on a split court whose majority has shifted from right to left during her tenure. Since her arrival, California’s high court — notorious as recently as a decade ago for its partisanship and division — has voted unanimously in nearly nine out of 10 decisions, a rate that far outstrips the U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimity. https://www.scotusblog.com/2022/02/profile-of-a-potential-nominee-ketanji-brown-jackson/ Even before taking office, President Joe Biden pledged to reshape the federal judiciary. In a December 2020 letter, during his presidential transition, he asked Democratic senators to recommend public defenders and civil rights lawyers, who have generally been underrepresented on the federal bench, for judgeships. If the president nominates Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who currently sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer, he will take his mission to diversify professional representation to the next level, putting a former federal public defender on the highest court in the land. If nominated and confirmed, the 51-year-old Jackson would be the first Black woman on the court and also one of the youngest justices – second only to Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who celebrated her 50th birthday on Friday. She would bring a wide range of experiences not only as a public defender but also a federal district judge and a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Jackson has earned high praise from the justice she would replace if nominated: When she was under consideration for her previous job as a federal trial court judge, Breyer described her as “brilliant,” a “mix of common sense” and “thoughtfulness.” And she might enjoy an edge over other candidates because of the prospect that she would have a relatively smooth path to confirmation: She was confirmed to an appellate judgeship less than a year ago with support from three Republican senators, and she is a relative by marriage of former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who ran for vice president on the Republican ticket in 2012. Obama nominated Jackson again on Jan. 4, 2013, and the Senate confirmed her by a voice vote in March. During her seven years as a district judge, Jackson issued several high-profile rulings on topics ranging from federal environmental law to the Americans with Disabilities Act. But none had a higher profile than her decision in Committee on the Judiciary v. McGahn, in which she ruled that Don McGahn, the former White House counsel to President Donald Trump, was required to testify before the House Judiciary Committee as part of its investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and Trump’s possible obstruction of justice, even after Trump had directed him not to do so. In a 118-page opinion, Jackson rejected the contention by Trump’s Department of Justice that federal courts lack the power to review disputes between the executive branch and Congress over subpoenas, as well as its argument that the president has the sole authority to decide whether he and his senior aides will comply with subpoenas to testify about possible wrongdoing in his administration. She stressed that “the primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that Presidents are not kings.” White House employees, she continued, “work for the People of the United States,” and “take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”; the president cannot block them from appearing to testify. McGahn eventually testified before the committee in June 2021, after the DOJ (now under the Biden administration) and the committee reached an agreement for him to do so. In April 2018, Jackson ruled against the Trump administration in a lawsuit brought by federal employee unions challenging three of the president’s executive orders on the collective bargaining rights of federal workers. The unions argued that the orders exceeded the president’s powers and conflicted with both federal labor laws and the employees’ constitutional rights. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/politics/j-michelle-childs-supreme-court-joe-biden/index.html Michelle Childs from South Carolina ss the preferred choice of Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, one of the President's top allies. That endorsement, which Clyburn has loudly been making for more than a year. Since her name came up as being on Biden's short list, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham hailed Childs as a brilliant choice, saying, "It's fair to say I think Michelle Childs has a really good chance of getting Republican votes." Another Republican from South Carolina, Sen. Tim Scott, repeated that sentiment: "I think she has a strong record and would be a strong candidate." And Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia echoed the praise, calling Childs "a tremendous, tremendous candidate." Those accolades have been, at the same time, accompanied by criticism from progressive activists and union leaders who suggest Childs' legal record is not sufficiently supportive of worker rights. Childs, who was nominated to the federal bench in 2010 by President Barack Obama, earned degrees from the University of South Florida and the University of South Carolina. Her champions say her state school experience would be a welcome change on the Supreme Court. It puts her in contrast with other top contenders, including Leondra Kruger, who attended Harvard and Yale, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, who attended Harvard. “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” (Is. 3:12). It is a curse to be ruled by women and children. Yes, God does occasionally raise up a Deborah. It is not automatically in every situation sinful for a woman to have a position of political leadership. But it is a sign of weak men, and weak men is a curse on any society. And widespread rule of a nation by women is a great curse. And until Republicans and Conservatives stop celebrating all the women in politics, we will continue getting more of a Nanny state. In the immortal words of John MacArthur, let the women go home. Go home to the blessing of God. Go home to your husbands and children. Go home to the place where God has promised you great power. I’m all for empowering women. But sending them into combat, whether as pastors or pilots or snipers or judges, is not actually empowering them. Those are not vocations where a woman’s natural strength is fitted to the task. A woman’s God-given glory and strength flows from the home, is centered in the home, because that is where people are made and people are the most potent force in human history. Which incidentally brings us back to protests at a table – the Lords’ Table but also millions of dining room tables and to singing, especially the psalms – the war songs of the church. Psalm of the Day: Psalm 65 https://open.spotify.com/track/4tZsMtu1kW3x38kDB4ug0E?si=5f52bd62b1684661 0:00-1:00 Amen!

Since her arrival, California’s high court — notorious as recently as a decade ago for its partisanship and division — has voted unanimously in nearly nine out of 10 decisions, a rate that far outstrips the U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimity. https://www.scotusblog.com/2022/02/profile-of-a-potential-nominee-ketanji-brown-jackson/ Even before taking office, President Joe Biden pledged to reshape the federal judiciary. In a December 2020 letter, during his presidential transition, he asked Democratic senators to recommend public defenders and civil rights lawyers, who have generally been underrepresented on the federal bench, for judgeships. If the president nominates Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who currently sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer, he will take his mission to diversify professional representation to the next level, putting a former federal public defender on the highest court in the land. If nominated and confirmed, the 51-year-old Jackson would be the first Black woman on the court and also one of the youngest justices – second only to Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who celebrated her 50th birthday on Friday. She would bring a wide range of experiences not only as a public defender but also a federal district judge and a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Jackson has earned high praise from the justice she would replace if nominated: When she was under consideration for her previous job as a federal trial court judge, Breyer described her as “brilliant,” a “mix of common sense” and “thoughtfulness.” And she might enjoy an edge over other candidates because of the prospect that she would have a relatively smooth path to confirmation: She was confirmed to an appellate judgeship less than a year ago with support from three Republican senators, and she is a relative by marriage of former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who ran for vice president on the Republican ticket in 2012.Obama nominated Jackson again on Jan. 4, 2013, and the Senate confirmed her by a voice vote in March. During her seven years as a district judge, Jackson issued several high-profile rulings on topics ranging from federal environmental law to the Americans with Disabilities Act. But none had a higher profile than her decision in Committee on the Judiciary v. McGahn, in which she ruled that Don McGahn, the former White House counsel to President Donald Trump, was required to testify before the House Judiciary Committee as part of its investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and Trump’s possible obstruction of justice, even after Trump had directed him not to do so. In a 118-page opinion, Jackson rejected the contention by Trump’s Department of Justice that federal courts lack the power to review disputes between the executive branch and Congress over subpoenas, as well as its argument that the president has the sole authority to decide whether he and his senior aides will comply with subpoenas to testify about possible wrongdoing in his administration. She stressed that “the primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that Presidents are not kings.” White House employees, she continued, “work for the People of the United States,” and “take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”; the president cannot block them from appearing to testify. McGahn eventually testified before the committee in June 2021, after the DOJ (now under the Biden administration) and the committee reached an agreement for him to do so. In April 2018, Jackson ruled against the Trump administration in a lawsuit brought by federal employee unions challenging three of the president’s executive orders on the collective bargaining rights of federal workers. The unions argued that the orders exceeded the president’s powers and conflicted with both federal labor laws and the employees’ constitutional rights. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/politics/j-michelle-childs-supreme-court-joe-biden/index.html Michelle Childs from South Carolina ss the preferred choice of Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, one of the President's top allies. That endorsement, which Clyburn has loudly been making for more than a year. Since her name came up as being on Biden's short list, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham hailed Childs as a brilliant choice, saying, "It's fair to say I think Michelle Childs has a really good chance of getting Republican votes." Another Republican from South Carolina, Sen. Tim Scott, repeated that sentiment: "I think she has a strong record and would be a strong candidate." And Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia echoed the praise, calling Childs "a tremendous, tremendous candidate." Those accolades have been, at the same time, accompanied by criticism from progressive activists and union leaders who suggest Childs' legal record is not sufficiently supportive of worker rights. Childs, who was nominated to the federal bench in 2010 by President Barack Obama, earned degrees from the University of South Florida and the University of South Carolina. Her champions say her state school experience would be a welcome change on the Supreme Court. It puts her in contrast with other top contenders, including Leondra Kruger, who attended Harvard and Yale, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, who attended Harvard. “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” (Is. 3:12). It is a curse to be ruled by women and children. Yes, God does occasionally raise up a Deborah. It is not automatically in every situation sinful for a woman to have a position of political leadership. But it is a sign of weak men, and weak men is a curse on any society. And widespread rule of a nation by women is a great curse. And until Republicans and Conservatives stop celebrating all the women in politics, we will continue getting more of a Nanny state. In the immortal words of John MacArthur, let the women go home. Go home to the blessing of God. Go home to your husbands and children. Go home to the place where God has promised you great power. I’m all for empowering women. But sending them into combat, whether as pastors or pilots or snipers or judges, is not actually empowering them. Those are not vocations where a woman’s natural strength is fitted to the task. A woman’s God-given glory and strength flows from the home, is centered in the home, because that is where people are made and people are the most potent force in human history. Which incidentally brings us back to protests at a table – the Lords’ Table but also millions of dining room tables and to singing, especially the psalms – the war songs of the church.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Israel's far-right, heavily corrupt prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is finally out. He's been replaced by another far-right tech entrepreneur. Meanwhile, the normally tight-lipped Apple said it turned over data about Trump's former White House Counsel Don McGahn. And lastly, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez went on CNN and dared to point out the biggest flaw in her party's plans to enact any sort of agenda. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: It finally happened. After 12 years, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is out, replaced by a strange government coalition of basically everyone outside of his party in the Israeli government. But before we get too excited, let's meet the new Prime Minister. Taking over for Bibi is Naftali Bennett, a former tech entrepreneur whose politics may be just as right wing and reactionary as his predecessor's. Bennett has only been in politics about 8 years, and before that made millions in the tech sector. He's also a former Israeli Commando whose latest post in government was as Minister of Defense, and he's reportedly bragged about killing Arab people, saying quote: “I've killed lots of Arabs in my life – and there's no problem with that.” endquote. Yeah, sounds like this guy isn't exactly a step up from Netanyahu. He's also vehemently supportive of Israel's colonialist settlers. Bennett took over thanks to a razor-close vote in Parlaiment authorizing a new government by just one vote, 60 to 59, with one abstention. Bennett's party itself only holds 7 seats in Parlaiment, and managed to take the top slot by creating an eight-party monster coalition aimed at taking Bibi down. In other words, none of this is particularly stable, and none of it looks particularly good for the Palestinians still suffering after Netanyahu's final acts of war against them. AOC Calls Out Centrist Cronies The Democrats have a problem -- they all know it, but almost none of them will come out and say it. It's pretty simple: the Republican-friendly coalition of Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are essentially stonewalling any bill that Biden wants to pass. Naturally, most inter-party criticism falls on the left. Which is why Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was on CNN on Sunday defending progressive's decision to pre-emptivly reject the centrist infrastructure compromise plan that Manchin and co are putting together. CNN's Dana Bash tried to corner Ocasio-Cortez into saying whether or not she'd vote for such a marginal compromise bill, to which Ocasio-Cortez responded; “The thing is, is that this isn't the best that we can get." Then she launched into one of the few open declarations of what's actually going on; "I do think that we need to talk about the elephant in the room which is Senate Democrats blocking crucial items in a Democratic agenda for reasons that I don't think hold a lot of water." The key point that Manchin and his block are trying to make is that there are ten Republicans who can be convinced to play ball, and that Biden and every Democrat to the left of him should place their policy ambitions in those centrist hands. But as we all know, that's a myth. AOC knows it too, and said as much: “That doesn't really hold water, particularly when we can't even get 10 senators to support a January 6 commission." We covered this back when it happened. If Manchin couldn't get Romney and some of the less-Trumpy GOP to back an inquiry into an attempted coup earlier this year, then only a massive idiot would assume that they're going to get the GOP's help passing an infrastructure bill. The Democratic party leadership has to know this too which makes the real question clear: what are they going to do about it? DOJ's New Privacy Boogaloo The Trump Administration continues to deliver weird news gifts, even from beyond its political grave. This one comes from the New York Times, which reports that in 2018, the Justice Department subpoenaed data from Apple so it could look into White House Counsel Don McGahn. The exact reasons behind this decision aren't clear, and probably have something to do with the complicated mess left behind by Trump's nebulous associations with Russia. But what's weird about this case is that the Justice Department kept it secret for over two years, and forbade Apple from telling McGahn about it. And it fits in to the larger context of what's been going on in the privacy space in the past few months. We've recently learned that Trump's Justice Department aggressively hunted for leakers, going as far as to try to obtain phone records and other data from reporters for the Times, CNN, and Washington Post. This is all stuff that Biden's new Attorney General Merrick Garland is going to have to untangle. And right now it's not quite clear what side he's going to come down on. The Biden Administration ordered the DOJ to stop seizing reporter's email, calling it quote “simply wrong.” But the New York Times notes that there are still a ton of variables as to what the new rules will look like, as far as who's protected and who's considered a journalist. If you remember, The Obama administration was particularly zealous at rooting out leaks, so that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: Joe Biden met with the Queen of England on Sunday and managed to not commit any real social faux pas, only telling her that she reminded him of his mother. Isn't that nice! What a difference from Trump. At least our good president Biden loves and respects a Monarch, which is really what America is all about if you think about it. CNN reports that GOP Governors are pushing to end mask mandates in schools, once again blaming government overreach for the policy. Kids under 12 won't be eligible for the vaccine till about Thanksgiving, so the masks make sense, but of course you can't tell that to the GOP. A mysterious auction winner paid more than $28 million to ride to space with Jeff Bezos on July 20, becoming one of the first private space tourists to get ripped off by a billionaire's vanity project. Congrats to whoever that person is! Have a nice flight! A bipartisan group of lawmakers released two bills on Friday that could completely overhaul the competition and anti-trust system that let big tech establish world-spanning monopolies. We'll see how well they fare against the tech giant's inevitable onslaught of lobbying.

Former Trump White House counsel Don McGahn and his wife received disclosures from Apple last month that their account records were sought by the Justice Department in February 2018, while McGahn was still the top lawyer representing the presidency, according to a person familiar. The pursuit was under a nondisclosure order until May, indicating the Justice Department went to a judge multiple times to keep it secret throughout former President Donald Trump's years in office. It is extraordinary to subpoena a White House counsel's records. The Justice Department appears to have accessed McGahn and his wife's information the same month the department swept up Apple's data related to dozens of phone numbers and email accounts connected to the House Intelligence Committee, including for two of its Democratic members.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

In this episode, Ohio's vax-a-million campaign, and Moderna's ties to China. New Mexico Governor's encrypted messaging app to circumvent oversight.

Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance has empaneled a special grand jury that is expected to decide whether to indict former President Donald Trump, his business, or his business associates. It could be a few months before we know anything, or if there will be anything, about indictments. Is this an indication that Vance expected to indict anyone at all? Ken White and Josh Barro discuss the coverage of the grand jury announcement and the part of the memo sent to then-Attorney General Barr that underlay his decision to announce (purporting to summarize the Mueller report) that the Justice Department lacked sufficient evidence to indict Trump for obstruction of justice. What went into this order by LSFJ Amy Berman Jackson that the memo be released? Plus: Judge Jackson unseals some Manafort documents, McGahn will testify soon, remember Gordon Sondland?, and why you should be nice to your exes if you’re going to crime.

It has been a long year. George Floyd’s death had an impact, but not enough justice or change.  Former guy White House Counsel Don McGahn has agreed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee next week. McGahn used to ignore subpoenas, and who knows how much the committee will get out of him, but unfortunately it won’t be televised live. Teacher Brian Beute ran against Matt Gaetz’ pimp, Joel Greenburg, for tax collector, not pimp, or any of Greenburg’s other specialties. Beute is certain Greenburg couldn’t have crimed like he did if there wasn’t an efficient criming system already in place. Joel Greenburg’s only mistake was that he was just too ambitiously corrupt for his position. MT Greene wants to be the biggest idiot crackpot racist in Congress, and her ambition is capturing the attention of her bosses again. The fraud-it admin-surrection grift-metic in Maricopa is a mess, but a successful one that will be attempted everywhere, soon. Joan warns that time is running out for Joe Biden’s “bipartisan” infrastructure efforts, before the “infrastructure week” jokes begin again. The House Republicans did show up with a token plan, but the Senate isn’t even bothering. Republicans don’t need to work when they have Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to do the heavy lifting. Manchin has his hands full, obstructing virtually all the bills going through. Mitch McConnell can’t rely on Sinema and Manchin to stop a Jan. 6 commission, so he will have to have Susan Collins do it.

Former White House counsel Don McGahn, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and Biden campaign adviser Bob Bauer join The Post to discuss election night results and counting that continues in key battleground states.

Will former White House Counsel Don McGahn ever testify to the House Judiciary Committee? That partly depends on how you squint when reading the Declaratory Judgment Act. University of Texas law professor (and Twitter Laureate of federal jurisdiction) Steve Vladeck checks off the justiciability boxes and tells us it didn’t use to be so complicated. Meanwhile, cities continue to hate billboards, and the Supreme Court continues to not speak as clearly as it could, even in cases involving content-based restrictions on speech. Bob McNamara explains why you have to read a sign to see if it’s “on premises.” iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shor…uit/id309062019 Spotify: podcasters.spotify.com/podcast/1DFCq…Ehed/overview Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/institut…ce/short-circuit Google: play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#…odkfm5cpz7rlvf76a Newsletter: ij.org/about-us/shortcircuit/ Want to email us? shortcircuit@ij.org Transcript: forthcoming IJ Legal Intensive: https://ij.org/ijs-legal-intensive/ Committee on the Judiciary v.

EDITED: I mistakenly state that election day is "November 4, 2020." It is November, 3, 2020. My apologies for the error. Trump and his nefarious associates believe they have perfected exploiting the delay in the court system to run out the clock and never be held to account. The fix is not as difficult as you might think. There's an abundance of specialized courts created to deal with specific types of cases. For example, there are drug courts, mental health courts, juvenile courts and domestic violence courts. In federal district court in Washington, DC, for example, there is reentry court. Creating these courts do not require an act of Congress. It simply takes the judicial branch--a co-equal branch of the government--to recognize a particularized need in the criminal justice system and instituting common-sense rule changes to address the need. If there was ever a need to address a deficiency, it is in the way nefarious actors exploit the delay inherent in the system. DC federal district court can easily remedy this weakness by creating an Inter-Branch Dispute Court (IBDC). When legal disputes erupt between the executive and legislative branches, like the need to enforce the House of Representatives' subpoena for Don McGahn's testimony in the impeachment inquiry, the IBDC can give the parties 72 hours to file their briefs, another 72 hours to present their oral arguments and the court decision would be entered within 72 hours of the conclusion of those arguments. The appeals court can follow the same 72/72/72 time table. Justice can be done in a matter of weeks, as opposed to the Trumps and McGahns of the world delay justice for months or years.This common sense approach to fixing a procedurally broken judiciary is a must for the health of our democracy.

Our main story today is how the DC Circuit Court has helped Trump successfully avoid accountability until after the election. You may remember Don McGahn from such investigations as Robert Mueller's. McGahn refused to cooperate at all with the House's impeachment investigation, under the complete nonsense theory of absolute immunity. Andrew breaks down what happened and gives a signature deep dive on House subpoena power! Our first segment is some good news and "Andrew was right" about the Flynn case.

It was a big week for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals who handed down opinions in two cases involving former presidential White House advisors. The case of Don McGahn, former White House Counsel, was decided by a panel of the court, having been kicked back to that panel by the full court earlier in the summer. The case of Michael Flynn was decided by the full court, reversing a panel that had earlier ordered a lower court judge to throw the criminal case out. It's a dizzying series of events involving a complex bunch of cases. To talk through it, Benjamin Wittes got together with Lawfare senior editor Scott Anderson who clerked on the DC Circuit, and Jonathan David Shaub, a professor at the University of Kentucky J. David Rosenberg College of Law. They talked about the Flynn case, the McGahn case, the en banc court vs. the panels that it has generated, and where the cases are going next.

It's February 6, 2018. Don McGahn is back in the Oval Office with President Trump and the new White House chief of staff John Kelly. The New York Times has just published a story reporting that, back in June of 2017, Trump had directed McGahn to have Mueller fired and that McGahn had threatened to resign rather than carry out the order. The story doesn't look good. Trump says: “You need to correct this. You're the White House counsel.”Trump wants McGahn to say it never happened. But McGahn knows that it did happen. The White House Counsel is sticking to his guns. He's not going to lie. The president asks again. Is McGahn going to do a correction? McGahn feels Trump is testing his mettle, seeing how far he can be pushed. And so he answers: No. He's not. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

It's May 17, 2017. White House Counsel Don McGahn is in the Oval Office with the president. McGahn's job is to represent the office of the presidency, which isn't quite the same as representing the president personally. It's a delicate line to walk, and Trump hasn't made the job any easier. McGahn is supposed to act as the point of contact between the White House and the Department of Justice, to ensure all the rules are being followed. But the president has made clear, he's not interested in following the rules. Trump has already fired his FBI director. That's why McGahn is in the Oval that morning, they need to interview a new nominee for the position. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is there too.Sessions interrupts the meeting. He has an urgent phone call from the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, so he steps outside to take it. Sessions returns a moment later and relays the message: Rosenstein has appointed a Special Counsel to oversee the Russia investigation. It's the former FBI director, Robert Mueller. Trump slumps back in his chair. He says, “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I'm fucked.” Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

What Can You Do with a Superconductor? A Lot! [PODCAST] What is a superconductor? One definition says, “a material that can conduct electricity or transport electrons from one atom to another with no resistance.” “At the base physics level, what a superconductor does is it moves a lot more power per unit volume or per unit weight, so you have a very high energy-dense material that can move lots of power,” Daniel McGahn, CEO of American Superconductor (AMSC), explained as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “So, from a very simple standpoint, we can move transmission-level power at distribution voltage simply with the energy density.” AMSC is a global energy solutions provider serving both the power grid and wind industries. “Everything we do revolves around resiliency—either of the grid, infrastructure, or of Navy ships,” McGahn said. “We do a lot of grid interconnection of wind to the grid. We do voltage support within the grid. We do voltage support for large industrial consumers of power, things like mills, mines, and semiconductor fabs—all large instantaneous users of power. We have a solution for them to be able to protect the grid from their operations,” he said. The focus of AMSC's grid business is really on “trying to move power with a purpose,” McGahn explained. What that means is AMSC technology can interconnect substations on the distribution side to allow them to work as one. This allows a very small conduit to be used under city streets in the urban core. “So, it's not really a power cable, it's more like an extension cord or a long bus bar that connect two physical assets that exist,” McGahn said. “When we look at multi-point connections throughout the city, we have the potential to double if not quadruple the overall resiliency of that urban system.” AMCS has done work with Boston, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago. “What we see are very similar vanes of need. The first one is we need to bring more infrastructure into the urban core. We don't have access to land. It can be quite expensive to do it. And our idea is, ‘Why don't we untrap and unleash the trapped capacity that already exists within the system and have it work more like a multi-point network,” said McGahn. “Most of the things we do on the grid really revolve around hardening, bringing more resiliency, bringing more leverage of existing capacity. And we're trying to do that in a way where we don't extend the cyber footprint of the system,” he said. AMSC's technology is also being used on U.S. warships to counter minefield threats. Many mines are activated by sensing a change in magnetism, which can be caused by a ship passing through the water near them. World War II technology utilized copper degaussing coils to reduce magnetic signatures, but a lot has changed since that time. McGahn said ships now go a lot faster. Furthermore, threats today tend to be concentrated in shallower water and sensors have become more sophisticated. The Navy realized new solutions were warranted. “They've invested around $30 million of development money. We've done full qualification. We've done tens of thousands of hours at sea on multiple different ship platforms and we just recently—at the end of last year—converted that into a full order and instruction to deliver a complete system for the first ship. And the second ship, we announced earlier this calendar year,” McGahn said.

Today we’ll talk with John Bursch, senior counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, regarding the Washing State Supreme Court rejection of their earlier ruling against florist Baronelle Stutzman. We’ll also talk with Hans von Spakovsky on the pending House vote to hold AG Barr and McGahn in contempt and Amanda Barratt, author of My Dearest Dietrich: A Novel of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Last Love (Kregel).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's yet another busy day in America as Donald Trump seems to be inside a slow moving train wreck. Either that, or he's the wrecking ball that'll destroy this nation. We begin today's show with the latest news, including Don McGahn's no show at today's scheduled congressional hearing, and Trump being ordered to comply with a subpoena for his financial records. As the nation watches in horror as state after state passes draconian new abortion laws, author David Daley explains the role that partisan gerrymandering is playing in our nation's giant leap backwards.

Lawyer Don McGahn was on the Trump train from the beginning. But the dream job of White House Counsel quickly turned into a nightmare, as he slowly fell out of favour with the President. Then one night McGahn was forced to make a choice of historic proportions: help Trump potentially commit a crime or resign. McGahn has found himself the centre of attention, as his testimony to Robert Mueller implicates the President in possible obstruction of justice.

Mark LaRue and Dr. Sean Hays PhD. talk over the primary results in AZ, the Florida Gubernatorial race, McGahn's exit, how federal employees got screwed out of their inflation adjustment, SCOTUS, and where to shoot up. Thank you to Fifteen for the title of the episode.
