The Counsel

Shownotes Transcript

It seems like each news cycle is filled with stories of people testing the boundaries of our laws. And with each Supreme Court decision, those boundaries become fuzzier and fuzzier. To help illuminate the complex legal issues shaping our country, CAFE has assembled a team of legal experts for a new podcast called The Council.

Twice a week, former prosecutors, legal scholars, and an FBI special agent will examine the intersecting worlds of law, politics, and current events. You'll hear from former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance. Women are being forced to endure deeply personal trauma in the public spotlight so conservative politicians can play politics.

Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuaid. Shadows have crept into our political system with the increasing role of dark money. Legal scholar and former member of the United States Sentencing Commission Rachel Barco. It is clear that the Roberts Court's hubris is growing exponentially. Lawyer and former FBI Special Agent Asha Rangappa. Legal coups aren't possible without the lawyers who enable them.

And of course, me, Eli Honig, a former prosecutor and CNN senior legal analyst. There's no use spinning fairy tales. All four Trump cases are circling the drain. Listen to commentary from The Council twice a week by subscribing on your favorite podcast app. That's Council, C-O-U-N-S-E-L.
