Hey folks, many of you have reached out in the past few days, sounding notes of shock

and anger at Attorney General Bill Barr's decision to fire Jeff Burman from the position

of U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

My old job.

The developments over the last few days have raised new concerns about potential improper

interference and investigations that are of political and personal interest to President

Trump.

I've been discussing the news over the past few days with former colleagues and friends,

including my cafe insider co-host Ann Milgram, and we thought it was important to share

some of our thinking with you all.

So today we're bringing you what we call an emergency podcast to make sense of what happened

and why it matters.

And we're taking down the paywall so everyone can follow and engage with this story.

To hear the full conversation for free, go to cafe.com slash pre and sign up to receive

an email with the link to the episode.

It should be there or arrive shortly.
