Hello and welcome with the Bullard podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. Couldn't be more delighted to welcome back to the show.

Professor of Practice of NYU Law School. He served as lead counsel in Bob Mueller's investigation in the 2016 election. He's also been general counsel for the FBI. He's on MS Now with me quite often. He's a frequent guest on our own illegal news podcast with Sarah Longwell. Sarah's stolen him from me. And now he's the author of a new book, Liars Kingdom, How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America,

which will be released on Tuesday. Go pre-order it right now. Pause the podcast. Go pre-order it.

And we're going to give you a good show. It's me and Andrew Weissman. How you doing, Andrew?

It is really nice to see you. I mean, you're totally right. I actually, I met you before Sarah.

You've been Thier. I met you before Sarah. You've been themed. You know, I think you've been scooped. But it's my loss. We'll see. The illegal news pond is go check it out. They're doing a great job. I listened to this last week's. I got about 30 minutes in before dozing off. So I thought that was pretty good. You know, I was kind of, I have a lot happening in my life, you know. So it's kind of hard to stay locked in. My good friends say, you know, I listen to you on your podcast because I do this podcast with my record. I'm like, oh, that's great. They go, yeah, when I can't get to sleep, it's really, really nice to listen to. Well, that won't be this podcast because we have a lot of exciting news to discuss. And at the very end, I get the sense that you're a little, are you a little bit of a hypochondriac? Are you a little, no, not really. No, I'm not. That's surprising. Why do you say that

well I don't know

I just give off a hypochondriac energy

you know I have a lot of phobias

and I have a lot of I have a lot of issues

but I have somehow managed to not have that one

No, Sarah gets mad at me for not watching my hands enough. But it might be, it might be something we'll need to do more. That's a little teaser for the very end of the show. there'll be some female implant discussion. We'll just stick around for the end. But first we have some serious,

I'm like really actually that's a little teaser for the very end of the show. There'll be some penile implant discussion. We'll just stick around for the end. But first we

genuinely fucking pissed about this story that I want to start with you on.

This is ABC News last night. Reports that Trump is

poised to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS.
