It’s our every 3 months return-to-roots Talking Feds classic, with three of the country’s most experienced and knowledgeable authorities on the Department of Justice. The group reads the tea leaves on the unfolding investigation of the political actors who may have conspired to overturn the lawful election results and helped foment the 1/6 riot. We next discuss the pending trial of Michael Sussmann and conclude with the DOJ’s potential involvement in the Supreme Court leak and the Ukraine War.

This very special episode of TalkingFeds brings together 3 expert guests on the state of play inside Russia, including the operator of the last independent TV station in Russia.

At the end of a week where the recent sharp divides in the country have never seemed clearer, three of the country’s most knowledgeable and savvy commentators–Alisyn Camerota, George Conway, & Joe Lockhart—join Harry to assess the (fairly woeful) state of the Union. The group looks at the 1/6 Committee and a possible criminal referral of Trump to the DOJ; Biden’s ambitious, but possibly DOA, agenda on guns: and the series of highly restrictive anti-abortion statutes cropping up in red States.

Aided by guests with rich national security expertise, we take two deep dives down to where the currents roil in the 1/6 investigations and the War of Russian Aggression. Frank Figliuzzi, Norm Ornstein, and Asha Rangappa join Harry to analyze the 1/6 committee’s contempt referrals, the testimony of Ivanka and Jared, and the coordination with the DOJ’s investigation. They then turn to the war and the likely newfangled efforts ongoing in the subterranean “gray zone” away from the fields of combat.

It was a week of possible headway on many fronts: at home, in DOJ, which has broadened its investigation of the events leading to 1/6; the 1/6 Committee, which held 2 witnesses in contempt; the federal courts, which determined that Trump more probably than not had committed a crime. And in Ukraine, where fledging peace negotiations were underway. A fantastic panel — Sen. Mike Bennet, Amy Jeffress, and Carol Leonnig — joins Harry to chart the tides and set them all in the proper political context.

After 18 hours of grueling testimony, Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson appeared headed for narrow confirmation, but the week put on vivid display the degraded state of the confirmation process. Sen Al Franken, Aaron Blake, and Alexi McCammond join Harry to take apart the hearings and segue to states’ passage of voting rights restrictions and severe anti-abortion laws even before the Court’s expected abortion ruling. They end with analysis of the main stress points shaping up for the midterms.
