On April 23, Benjamin Wittes hosted a panel discussion at the Brookings Institution unpacking what we learned from the redacted version of the Mueller report. The panel featured Susan Hennessey, Chuck Rosenberg and Margaret Taylor. They discussed the factual record Mueller established on Russian interference and collusion, whether the president's conduct constitutes obstruction of justice and how Congress and the American people might react to the report.
I'm happy to report that U.S. Cyber Command will host its sixth annual legal conference from March 4–7, and that some seats may still be available.

Are you a current student who enjoys wrestling with the policy aspects of cybersecurity, especially insofar as they implicate national security and international relations? Thinking about forming a team to compete in the Atlantic Council’s amazing “Cyber 9/12” Strategy Competition in D.C. in the spring? And do you like tacos? If you answered at least two out of three of these questions with yes, then you will want to plan on a trip to UT-Austin in January for the stand-alone “Austin Regional” of the Cyber 9/12 event!
