To go over it all, Benjamin Wittes sat down with  Lawfare  senior editors Alan Rozenshtein and Quinta Jurecic, and  Lawfare  associate editor Bryce Klehm, who has been reading all of the depositions in the matter. They talked about what the committee found, what aspects of it are new and what we might do about this dramatic turn of events. Hosted on Acast.
