84: Cy Vance Jr May 05, 2021

Show notes

Manhattan’s District Attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr. is looming large in former President Donald Trump's life as he is leading one of the most high-profile criminal investigations into Trump financial dealings. In addition to his investigation of Trump, Cy has also worked to transform the Manhattan District Attorney's office to include cybercrime, sex trafficking, and terrorism while also leading numerous other high-profile courtroom victories, including People v. Weinstein. Prior to being elected District Attorney in 2010, Cy worked as an Assistant District Attorney in the office he now leads, served as special assistant to the New York Attorney General, co-founded the McNaul Ebel Nawrot Helgren & Vance law firm in Seattle, and joined Morvillo Abramowitz Grand Iason & Anello as a partner when he returned to NY. We join him on this episode to talk about his upbringing, some of his proudest moments as District Attorney, his investigation into former President Trump, the Harvey Weinstein case, and what's in store for him after he retires at the end of the year.
Yes we know the audio quality is not as good as we would want on Mr Vance Jr’s end, but we hope you still enjoy the show.

78: Marc Elias is Saving Democracy and Voting Rights From Peril Mar 30, 2021

Show notes

Marc is the Chair of Perkins Coie’s Political Law Group and founder of Democracy Docket, an organization that focuses on detecting, highlighting, and combating suppressive voting laws. He and his organization led the court battles against the GOP's suppressive tactics during the 2020 election and in combating Republican efforts to overturn the results of that election on unsubstantiated claims of widespread election fraud with a near 100% win record. His work continues post-election as he fights against the draconian proposed laws recently passed in Iowa and GA and pending in 41 other states. We look forward to talking to Marc about these proposed voting restrictions today. In addition to his current work, Marc previously served as general counsel for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign, won four election cases in the U.S. Supreme Court, and has represented dozens of political candidates in election matters. Politico Magazine named Marc as one of the “50 Politicos to Watch.”
