Summary: Hello from Austin, home of SolarWinds and CyberTrucks! [ed. note: uh, no. Let’s go with home of bbq and tacos instead] We’re back with another round of discussion and debate with Professors Steve Vladeck and Bobby Chesney, as they cover:<br> <br> * Erica Newland’s NY Times op-ed arguing that DOJ attorneys should have resigned early on during the Trump administration<br> * What exactly counts as a seditious conspiracy for purposes of (i) federal criminal law and (ii) the Uniform Code of Military Justice? Asking for a friend…<br> * The sudden rise, and apparent collapse, of a rushed attempt by DoD leadership to direct separation of NSA and Cyber Command<br> * Prospects for a veto override if Trump vetoes the NDAA tomorrow<br> * Section 1705 of the pending NDAA: an authority for DHS CISA that in some ways speaks directly to the flaws exposed by the SolarWinds debacle<br> * Al Shabaab’s 9/11-style plot, and the compelling ordinariness of the Justice Department’s decision to prosecute it in Manhattan<br> * Pan Am 103 back in the news: AG Barr announces charges against the bombmaker (who may also have made the bomb that struck La Belle Discotheque in Berlin)<br> <br> And, of course, views on the Mandalorian season finale!<br>
