Hi, and welcome back to Maine Justice.

It is Tuesday morning, February 11th.

I am Andrew Weissman, and I am here with my co-host, Mary McCord.

How are you, Mary? I'm exhausted McCord. How are you, Mary?

I'm exhausted, Andrew. How are you?

You know, I'm fine.

And in some ways, the reason I'm fine is this podcast,

into a framework. And so it may not sound like it all the time, but Mary, you and I. We are trying to

do that. Yes, that's right. Exactly. We've been back and forth all weekend. Yeah. And then, of course,

new things happen during the night. So like our best laid plans were like, oh, now we have three new things that are actually quite important that we need to talk about.

I was in a car going to 30 Rock last night, and I'm like, oh, Eric Adams, the acting deputy attorney general is directing the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney's Office to dismiss the case. So I was quickly reading all that and then immediately talked about it on air, which I have to say,

kudos to Lawrence O'Donnell, because I said, I really want to talk about this.

And he's like, great.

So we're going to do this to, I wouldn't say spoon-feeding,
