| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to Maine Justice. It is Tuesday morning, March 24th. I am Andrew |
| 0:09.0 | Weissman and I'm here with my co-host, Mary McCord. And Mary, we have something, we have actually |
| 0:16.0 | two special things to announce and neither of them is that this is the week after my birthday. |
| 0:23.2 | So last week's coverage of your birthday was inadequate. So now we're in the pageant. We're in |
| 0:27.7 | birthday pageant. So yes, we are still celebrating Andrew's birthday. So another positive thing, |
| 0:34.1 | although I guess we could decide whether or not it was a positive thing that we |
| 0:37.8 | ever had to start this podcast, but we are now three years in. This week is our three year |
| 0:44.7 | anniversary. Isn't that unbelievable? It is. It is. So with the loyal, loyal, loyal listeners who've |

| 1:18.5 | that would turn into three years of podcasts, two years as prosecuting Donald Trump and now a little more |
| 1:24.1 | than a year of being Maine justice. But it's been a really great experience. It's |
| 1:28.3 | fantastic to do it with you. And, you know, so long as we can keep talking about things that are |
| 1:32.2 | relevant to the American public and the world, frankly, as long as we can keep doing that, we will. |
| 1:37.3 | Yeah. It is great to be able to give our insider perspective, having been at the Department of Justice, and |
| 1:45.6 | give a sense of how that works. And then to translate just a lot of legal concepts in cases |
| 1:52.3 | that are so important to the country, whether it was before his reelection or now after. |
| 1:58.8 | Actually, that was one of the new things, but there's another thing that we're |
| 2:03.3 | doing. And it's great. It's sort of like a new thing to start off beginning our fourth year. I can't |
