After a one-week hiatus, the National Security Law Podcast is back! Tune in for debate and discussion as we talk about:

  1. The Mueller Report and its aftermath;
  2. Impeachment vs. Censure;
  3. The Trump Subpoena litigation;
  4. The summary judgment decision in Jewel v. NSA (concerning a would-be class action challenging warrantless surveillance);
  5. An update on the question of whether Section 215 will be renewed in whole or in part;
  6. The latest Office of the Director of National Intelligence statistics on the use of surveillance authorities (with an emphasis on “unmasking”); and
  7. A wave of recent Justice Department prosecution developments involving China and espionage, counterterrorism, and other matters.

Oh, yes, there also apparently was an episode of Game of Thrones the other night. A battle of some kind? We guys have some opinions …
