    OA688: Oh No, the Privilege is MINE! Feb 09, 2023
    Show notes

    Today, Liz and Andrew have two stories for us, each touching on executive privilege.

    We begin with a quick fun Liz story where what comes around, goes around, particularly in Georgia.

    Then, for the first main story, Liz gives us a detailed update in the E. Jean Carroll litigation, where Trump has finally replaced Alina Habba with an actual lawyer. How's that going to go for him? Hint: probably still not great.

    After that, Andrew picks up a story involving the January 6th Committee, the New York Times, Politico, Judge Beryl A. Howell, executive privilege, and the world's longest minute order. It's a deep dive and a breaking news story all in one!

    OA680: The Pathetic SCOTUS Leak Investigation Fizzles Jan 23, 2023

    THEY DIDN'T EVEN ASK ALITO about the allegations of him leaking a prior decision. These weren't like, tabloid Occupy Democrats allegations either. These were in the New York gdamn Times. Didn't even look into it. Then, Reynal not sanctioned in CT but like, he might as well have been. And Dersh is STILL lying his ass off. This isn't a repeat. It's a new more pathetic set of lies every episode almost.
