Summary

Is Donald Trump toast? Are the walls closing in on Hunter Biden? Those are questions that can’t adequately be answered by two minutes of cable news. Luckily, Professors Richard Epstein and John Yoo are here with one of the all-time deep-dive Law Talk episodes: a thorough look at the cases facing Donald Trump in Georgia, Florida, D.C., and Manhattan as well as the increasingly inscrutable case of Hunter Biden. Which case is most likely to take Trump down? What kinds of questions are raised by the DOJ’s bobbling of the Biden charges? And who’s going to be left standing when the dust clears? All that and more — plus a chance to submit your questions for the professors — on this episode.

0:00.0	I kill my video. That's a mercy killing. And you're off.
0:12.2	Welcome back to the Law Talk podcast from the Hoover Institution coming to you, as we always do,
0:17.9	from the faculty lounge of the Epstein and U School of Law, where we were unaffected
0:22.2	by the affirmative action ruling because we've yet to receive any applications.
0:26.4	I'm your host, Troy Seneca, former White House speechwriter, co-founder of Kighton Key Media in America's

0:44.6	and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Lawrence A. Tish, Professor of Law at
0:50.2	NYU, and senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Chicago and John You, visiting fellow at the Hoover
0:56.6	Institution, the Emmanuel S. Heller, Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley,
1:01.1	and former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Bush administration. So let me start
1:08.5	briefly with just a programming note, because we usually reserve our August episode for listener Q&A.
1:15.6	We are, for what are about to be obvious reasons, not going to be doing that this year.
1:21.0	We will take audience questions next month for the September episode.
1:25.2	So if you have something you want to ask the professors,
1:28.6	send your questions to Law Talk Q&A, or one word, Law Talk Q&A at gmail.com, and we will get to those
1:37.7	next month. And fellas, the reason we are not doing Q&A this month is because we are 15 months away from the 2024 presidential election.
1:51.4	And the frontrunners for both parties, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, are both in the middle of swirling legal controversies that seem like they may have the potential
2:03.5	to swing the election, may even have the potential to maybe even keep one or both of these guys
2:08.9	off the ballot next year. I'm going to start with Donald Trump because the most recent news
