The Week That Was: All of Lawfare in One Post
Let’s begin with L’Affaire Russe. Quinta Jurecic shared the House intelligence committee Democrats’ rebuttal to the Devin Nunes memo. She and Benjamin Wittes offered three key takeaways from the rebuttal, arguing that President Trump was wrong to describe it as a “total political and legal BUST.”
Wittes posted the Rational Security podcast, the “Downgraded” Edition. The podcast addressed, among other things, Jared Kushner’s security clearance and Democrats’ rebuttal to the Nunes memo:
William Ford is an impact associate at Protect Democracy. He previously was an appellate litigation fellow in the New York Attorney General's Office and a research intern at Lawfare. He holds a bachelor's degree with honors from the College of the Holy Cross.
