Welcome back to Talking Feds, a prosecutor's roundtable that brings together prominent

former federal officials for a dynamic discussion of the most important legal topics of the day.

I'm Harry Littman, I'm a former United States Attorney and Deputy Assistant Attorney General,

and a current Washington Post columnist.

At Talking Feds, we do special episodes, which we call Talking Feds now, to react to

breaking important news.

And there have been two hugely important stories in Talking Feds Land this week, and we're

here, or actually spread out across the country, to talk about both of them.

First, the revelation that Robert Mueller will be testifying before two House committees

on July 17th.

We're going to look at that story through the prism of an important and timely article

by two charter feds well known to listeners of this program and MSNBC, both of whom recently

testified in the House about the Mueller report.

Bard McQuade, the former United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan,

and currently a professor from practice at the University of Michigan Law School,

is the first to join us.

Hey, Bard.

Hi, Harry.

Thanks a lot for having me.

Thanks for coming and Joyce Vance, former US Attorney and longtime Assistant US Attorney,

from the Northern District of Alabama, who joins us from Birmingham, where she's the distinguished

professor of the practice of law at the University of Alabama School of Law.
