The Lawfare Podcast Bonus Edition: Robert Mueller vs. the Committees with No Bull

Elena Kagan   Thu, Jul 25, 2019, 5:43 PM

On Wednesday, former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III testified before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees. There was plenty of repetition and plenty of pontification. So we cut all that out to just bring you the testimony that you need to hear. Not only that, but—in both committees—the Democratic and Republican members advanced very different narratives about the Mueller report and investigation. Listening to the questions alternate between the two sides almost gave the audience a sense of whiplash.

The Lawfare Podcast: A Victory for Al-Bahlul on Remand

Cody M. Poplin   Sat, Jun 20, 2015, 1:30 PM

On this week’s Lawfare Podcast, Managing Editor Wells Bennett invited Steve Vladeck of both Lawfare and Just Security, and Adam Thurschwell, an attorney with the Office of the Chief Defense Counsel of the Military Commissions, into the Lawfare studio to discuss the D.C. Circuit’s decision in Al Bahlul v. United States. In its ruling, the Court vacated Ali Hamza Suliman al Bahlul’s conviction for inchoate conspiracy—a purely domestic law offense—because Article III of the Constitution permits trial by military commission of offenses against the international laws of war only. The show takes a deep dive into the case and the Court’s opinion, ponders the future of the military commissions, and outlines what we can expect the government to do next in the case.
