Summary
It's another edition of “Trump’s Trials and Tribulations,” recorded on Thursday before a live audience of Lawfare Material Supporters. Lawfare Senior Editor Scott R. Anderson sat down with Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes, Senior Editor Roger Parloff, and Legal Fellow Anna Bower to discuss a range of matters, from Judge Chutkan’s denial of Trump's motions to dismiss his D.C. criminal case, to Trump's filing seeking to stay the D.C. case in its entirety, the lack of movement in the D.C. Circuit from its gag order, and where the various 14th Amendment Section 3 suits seeking to ban Trump from the 2024 ballot stand around the country. They also dug into updates from Fulton County and talked about what happened in particular at the six-hour hearing on Dec. 1 that has gotten surprisingly little attention.
This is a live conversation that happens online every Thursday at 4:00pm Eastern Time. If you would like to come join and ask a question, be sure to visit Lawfare’s Patreon account and become a Material Supporter.

| 1:13.4 | presidential criminal immunity, are you joking? |
| 1:15.9 | And deals with it in a highly expedited proceeding |
| 1:20.8 | yielding a unanimous quick opinion that the Supreme Court relatively quickly denies cert in. |
| 1:27.0 | And so I think, you know, how significant the question of a stay is with respect to the March 4th trial deadline is almost entirely a question of the timeline of the appeal about which the range can be in recent DC circuit practice, super, super fast, or as in Blassing Game, a year, right? |
