Hello, and welcome back to Maine Justice. It is Tuesday morning, January 13th. I'm Andrew Weissman,

and I'm here with my co-host Mary McCord. Hello, Mary. Good morning, Andrew. You know, it's funny.

I was, I'm already like thinking about what we're going to be

discussing because there's so much that we need to get to. And our job is to try and give you a deep

dive into specific things and also not to sort of chase the news. And I think this discussion

that we're going to have is really a good

example of that. I have to say, Mary, this is why we have this podcast. No question. And what

Andrew's alluding to if it's not obvious to everyone is our lead topic today will be what happened

in Minneapolis, the tragic and fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. And what has

happened since then with the protests, with a new lawsuit filed by the state and the city to

try to stop this real surge there. There's been incredible abuses of constitutional rights,

incredible overreach. And there's a lot because of our

experience as prosecutors that we can pull apart from this. So many facets.

You know, this is when I'm biting my tongue because there's so much to say. But that's

definitely topic one. Topic two, we promised people last week that we would have an actual expert,

that they wouldn't have to suffer through just us on international law. Right. To talk about,

of course, what's happened in Venezuela. And then we will turn to the news that really just

broke recently about a criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve Board

Chairman Jerome Powell.

And his response.

Yes, and his response, which I think is very significant.

Very.
