Holiday edition!  Tune in as co-hosts Steve Vladeck and Bobby Chesney discuss the rapid demise of the attempt by Donald Trump’s lawyers to use this executive privilege in relation to the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago, the arrival in the U.S. of a former Libyan intelligence officer charged with a key role in the horrific bombing of Pan Am 103 in 1988, the arrival in the U.S. of a Mauritanian man charged with several terrorist attacks in Mali, the arrival in the U.S. of erstwhile crypto exchange entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried to face charges stemming from that total dumpster fire. And, naturally, an indefensible number of detours, digressions, and other forays into frivolity!
