  • The Pardon Power

    The Pardon Power
    Dec 24 2024

    After a quick review of the Georgia Court of Appeals decision disqualifying Fani Willis from Donald Trump’s criminal case based on an appearance of impropriety, MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord are joined by NYU Law professor and Dean Emeritus, Trevor Morrison. The discussion revolves around the limits and scope of the presidential pardon power, the legal precedence of a blanket pardon for crimes not yet adjudicated, and whether a president can in fact, pardon himself.

  • One Dismissal Denied

    One Dismissal Denied
    Dec 18 2024

    There’s been significant action in New York as Judge Juan Merchan denied one of Donald Trump’s motions to dismiss his 34-count verdict- this one based on the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision. After a noteworthy amount of speed reading several filings, MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord break down Merchan’s rationale, highlighting the specifics of his multi-layered legal reasoning. Then, they turn to another fully briefed pending dismissal motion, this one based on the temporary immunity a sitting president is granted while serving.

  • A Kitchen Sink of Grievance

    A Kitchen Sink of Grievance
    Dec 11 2024

    Within the 80-page motion filed last week to dismiss Donald Trump’s New York criminal case, there’s a long list of grievances laid out by his legal team. MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord underscore some of the substantive arguments as to why a sitting president might find a pending case constricting, reasoning that there are aspects that could interfere with effective functioning of the presidency. But they also illuminate how these merits are buried deep within pages of hyperbole of alleged unfairness to the president-elect, prompting Andrew to ask, in terms of the facts, “Where’s the beef?” Then they turn to some analysis of a letter written by incoming Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, which calls out current FBI Director Christopher Wray with a personal vote of no confidence.

Essential

It's important to find trusted, experienced voices as we move through these important legal cases involving Donald Trump and his coconspirators. Andrew and Mary's years in government and law make them essential to my sources for correct information about the process. I'm grateful that I have the time to read court documents as a retired person and I look to them for explanations and implications of what's happening in these prosecutions. This is a good podcast to choose if you want this information but don't have time to listen to a bunch of them. They are good teachers and good citizens.

The best podcast

My go-to for all things newsworthy. I know the truth when I hear it though what does that mean anymore? I count on you to fill in the blanks where my MCAT score doesn’t help, hmm most of the time.
Thank you both so much!
