Summary

Seeing as how 2022 is well underway, it's probably about time we produced a new episode! Tune in for co-hosts Steve Vladeck and Bobby Chesney as they discuss and debate: The various international and domestic law questions that might arise in that Russia (further) invades Ukraine The oral argument in Thompson v. Trump (especially the presidential immunity question) The who-owns-the-privilege question in Trump v. Thompson (not a typo) The seditious conspiracy indictment against Oath Keepers leaders What federal statutes have to say about a scenario in which the President might confer authority on a private armed group to "enforce" the law Believe it or not, a judicial change in a military commission More GTMO detainees approved (by Periodic Review Board) for transfer out (though no one actually seems to be leaving) All that plus the usual frivolity, this time featuring the classic combination of (1) Jim Carrey films and (2) NFL playoffs.

0:00.0	Hello from Austin and welcome to episode 213 of the National Security Law podcast.

0:45.4	I feel like there was, didn't we, wasn't the Comey emergency episode actually recorded the same
0:50.0	day as another episode? I think it was. Oh my God, that feels like forever ago. I will say, you know, if you know what the future holds, we might find ourselves back in
0:57.4	the multiple times per week category.
1:00.5	I think we do aspire to get back into at least a biweekly, if not a full weekly schedule.
1:06.9	Steve, you even suggested a weekly schedule.

1:15.9	Yeah, it's just like always on.
1:17.9	The people just tune in and they're like, are they there?
1:21.0	The Truman Show.

1:26.7	I can just keep the camera on in here.
1:28.5	You can just like kind of stare at the books.
1:30.3	And if you want to make a national security joke out of,
