Hello and welcome with the Bullwark podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. We are dialing in on military news, both in American streets and abroad on today's show. But there's a lot of other

stuff going on, particularly on the legal front, including the dramatic resignations in Minnesota

of prosecutors who are refusing DOJ pressure to investigate the widow of Renee, Nicole Good,

I guess, for talking to ICE officers inappropriately. It's just disgusting what

we're seeing of the DOJ, but good on those prosecutors for resigning. Much more on that

and all the other stuff in the legal news over on our newish podcast, Illegal News, with

Sarah Longwell. This is our relaunch of George Conway explains

it all since George is running for Congress. You heard George on this show last week. He was pretty

Sarah is getting a rotating cast of sharp experts. She's got Andrew Weissman and others to break everything down.

And if I can just reinforce what you just said about Asherang Gapha, she's awesome. I've gotten to know her really well over the last couple of years and a brilliant legal mind. She's really great. She is. And, you know, while we're glazing people, just having you here is just amazing. I feel so lucky to have you with the bulwark. For people a little behind the scenes, it's a little weird, I would say, to have a commanding general of U.S. Army Europe sitting through our Monday meeting where we're discussing whether to do a blog

post on the Groypers or reading the Slack discussions about buckle fat removal. But you're in all

of it. You're just, you're diving straight in, and we appreciate you. I've been in staff meetings

that have been much worse, so everything's going fine.

All right. We have so much to cover. I want to start with morning shots. Your section was called

masks, courage, and accountability. And you wrote about your experience with the Iraqi police

and masks and kind of some lessons from that and how it relates to what
