@Scott_Wiener
, CA State Sen in San Francisco: The result of...saying we don’t want change [in our neighborhoods is] you’re actually creating a lot of change. You’re maintaining the architectural look but you’re kicking out all the people because no one can afford to live there.
Yesterday, we cut a certain phrase off
@Popehat
's commentary on Chris Christie's media spree. But it's raining here in LA and we're feeling sentimental:
New LRC:
@keligoff
hosts this episode with
@ChristineEmba
@MichaelSteele
and
@RobGeorge
on the protests, whether this is a moment of seismic change, the need for reform, Mattis speaks out, Biden’s VP pick and more.

@jbarro
&
@popehat
: Thanks for calling the All The President's Lawyers hotl-
You: IS IT OR IS IT NOT RICO?
The All The President's Lawyer's question hotline is still open! Leave us a message at (310)853-3514 by Monday to potentially have your q answered in our 12/26 episode☎️
This week's All The Presidents' Lawyers podcast will be out in a few minutes. Sorry for the delay, everyone. Can I still blame it on a cat filter? "I'm not a cat." "I'm prepared to go forward with it." Thanks for your patience.
Hey ATPL fans — bonus episode alert! 🚨
@jbarro
and
@popehat
speak with
@PreetBharara
, former US Attorney for SDNY about his new book and a lot more. It's a great conversation and it's on your feeds now.
You asked, we answered. Today's All The President's Lawyers features listener questions from our hotline AND
@Popehat
sitting through a deluge of RICO questions. You won't want to miss it
New ATPL coming this afternoon and it contains the moment you've all been waiting for.
@jbarro
asks
@Popehat
who he'd rather have representing him, Giuliani or Avenatti — AND WE HAVE AN ANSWER.
There will be a new episode of All The President's Lawyers today. Today! With Friday's news to discuss,
@jbarro
and
@Popehat
aren't going to make you wait until Wednesday. It'll be on the podcast feed later today. Have you subscribed yet?
New ATPL:
@jbarro
and
@Popehat
with
@brendan_fischer
on how Trump got millions when his 2016 campaign needed cash and why that could be “wildly illegal.” Plus: Durham and Barr, Vance and SCOTUS, again; and strike one for emoluments
NEW ATPL: It’s
@jbarro
and
@Popehat
on the Barr letter and what’s next now that Mueller is done. (And of course, some Michael Avenatti too.) ATPL fans, you’ve been waiting so patiently for this one. Enjoy.
New ATPL:
@jbarro
and
@popehat
on the Hatch Act, Bannon's arrest at sea, Ken finds he can still be moved and thrilled by how f*cking stupid people can be, plus: another NY investigation into the Trump Organization, and can Eric take the Fifth? Listen:
Michael Flynn’s sentencing gets pushed to March. The Trump Foundation joins Trump University and Trump Steaks in failed business heaven. And Mueller's mystery subpoena gets DC all riled up. That's right, the new ATPL episode is here:
This is the last ATPL episode with JC Swiatek, our technical director and real MVP, and Ken and Josh thank her in their own special way. Thanks, JC, for being the f***ing greatest. *swear jar*
We're back! Here's
@jbarro
and
@popehat
on all the lawsuits the president has filed in the past few weeks. Are they plausible? Are they just PR? Is Bill Barr and the DOJ helping? What about pardons? And should the president-elect sue to force a transition?
New ATPL:
@jbarro
and
@Popehat
talk about Devin Nunes suing for defamation (
@LizMair
joins too), a conversation with
@PreetBharara
, Michael Cohen search warrants, and *that* phone call.
It's Halloween, which means it's the beginning of...RICO season. Yep,
@jbarro
finally gets
@popehat
to concede it might actually be RICO on this week's All The President's Lawyers. Listen + subscribe:
New All The President's Lawyers: one week — and one insurrection and one impeachment —
@popehat
and
@jbarro
are back. This podcast is...a little longer. There was a lot to cover. Available here and on podcast feeds now:
On today's All The President's Lawyers...
@jbarro
: Is it okay to go on television while you're under indictment if you don't talk about the specific matters that you're under indictment for?
@popehat
: ...
Alright ATPL fans, it’s our last episode of 2019. There’s impeachment. There’s Senate rules. There’s Rudy. There’s sentencing. There’s definitely a bleep.
@jbarro
and
@Popehat
will be back Jan. 8, 2020.
Today’s All The Presidents’ Lawyers: new president, new show name, new opening theme, and lots of pardons.
@Popehat
and
@jbarro
talk about who got one and who didn’t, Steve Bannon and undoing pardons, Rudy’s ethics, Dominion and more.
.
@KatrinaNation
: the Parkland shooting has the potential to break the cycle...I'm not naive. We're not going to see truly meaningful change on guns until we force them to with our votes.
This new ATPL episode is packed!
@jbarro
and
@popehat
on hearsay, suing the swamp, impeachment possibilities, abuse of power, witness tampering, ignoring subpoenas, treason, McCabe, what Flynn's lawyer is even doing, aaaand jawsuits. It's all in here:
Tomorrow.
@popehat
and
@jbarro
in a special hour-long episode of All The President’s Lawyers. There’s much to discuss. Available at and on podcast feeds at 1:30pm Pacific.
I'm very excited about what we have lined up for the next couple of weeks. In order to read it, please go to to subscribe to Very Serious, and I look forward to engaging with all of you in this fun, new newsletter!
This episode features 3 swears from
@popehat
(including a sneaky one I almost didn’t catch), a My Cousin Vinny moment (is it, like, required for lawyers to quote that movie a few times a year in a public forum?), and also Stormy Daniels, Michael Avenatti and more. All the hits.
Also: a scheduling note. There won't be a new ATPL episode next week. Forcing
@jbarro
and
@popehat
to tape less than 12 hours after voting ends would definitely be RICO. They will return Nov. 11. In the meantime, send in your questions and catch
@jbarro
on LRC every Friday.
@Popehat
@jbarro
It should be noted that hardworking and enthusiastic producers who are very optimistic about this effort will be listening to the voicemails first — not Josh and Ken. No, Josh and Ken will only hear the *good* ones.
ATPL returns!
@jbarro
and
@popehat
talk about post-indictment developments for Weisselberg, the 'Kraken' sanctions hearing, whether chyrons always make it ok, and a sentence for Michael Avenatti. Related: some good advice from Ken.
Special hour-long episode of All The President’s Lawyers is out!
@jbarro
and
@Popehat
on President Trump’s new legal troubles this week, the Democrats’ impeachment strategy, the whistleblower complaint, and more. There’s a lot in here. Listen:
It's a new All The President's Lawyers:
@jbarro
and
@popehat
talk about AG Barr's testimony, we're still waiting on the [redacted] Mueller report, Cohen's lawyers try to get him out of prison, and Nunes files more lawsuits. Let's do this:
Today's ATPL is out!
@jbarro
and
@popehat
on Barr, Berman and the Friday-Night-Into-Saturday-Afternoon Massacre; some breaking Flynn news conveniently during our taping; Bolton and more. It's Wednesday, people.
Hush payments, what if Rudy cooperates (and why he’s
@popehat
’s nightmare witness), asking the judge if you can call your mom on Mother’s Day, a FOIA about the First Dogs, a special trip down memory lane for the longtime listeners, and more…
New ATPL: a judge says no, the government can't step in for President Trump in E. Jean Carroll's defamation suit, and
@jbarro
and
@Popehat
talk through the judge's reasoning. Plus: still waiting on LSFJ Sullivan, and those Time Square billboards. Listen:
NEW ATPL:
@jbarro
and
@popehat
on what we might know (but probably don't) about Cy Vance's investigation into the Trump org, Bill Barr's speech, and the kinda predictable thing that seems to have happened to investors in the company Fraud Guarantee.
New LRC:
@jbarro
@ebruenig
@rachelbovard
with
@davidfrum
discussing:
- the fight over the Jan 6 bipartisan commission
- an unusually productive Congress
- FL’s new law targeting social media co’s
- the diverted Ryanair flight
On today's ATPL,
@jbarro
asks
@popehat
a version of one of our most frequently asked questions: Hey Ken, is it RICO?
Kidding. It's this: Hey Ken, President Trump did ______. Can he be sued?
On Mike Pompeo as sec of state, if confirmed,
@Richlowry
says he's going to be better than Tillerson, but that's an extremely low bar.
@davidfrum
: "I fear we will miss Rex Tillerson."
@KatrinaNation
"No one should shed tears for Tillerson's exit."
This week's ATPL:
@jbarro
talks with
@ryanjreilly
about the massive task of identifying, investigating and charging 600+ people connected to 1/6. How's it changing the work of DOJ and FBI? And who are the
#seditionhunters
? [
@popehat
's on vacation (hi Ken)]
New All The President's Lawyers: what will we know about the Mueller report and when will we know it?
@jbarro
and
@Popehat
analyze AG Barr's letter, Summer Zervos' suit against Trump, maybe bank fraud, and a short Avenatti update too.
The last

New ATPL:
@jbarro
and
@Popehat
discuss the imminent departure of Bill Barr, Hunter Biden under federal tax investigation and the fact that that news wasn't leaked, SCOTUS rejecting the election challenges, Steve Bannon's new lawyer, and more. Listen:

@Popehat
@kcrw
And by the way, if at least 100 of you become a member (any donation amount makes you a member),
@popehat
promises to *really* tell us if Michael Avenatti is a good lawyer and if anyone has *really* done the RICO. Thanks for supporting the show. We love hearing from you.
It's Wednesday! That means 2 things. 1. There's a new ATPL episode & 2. there was some news after
@Popehat
and
@jbarro
recorded. BUT: 2 more things. 1. There's plenty of news in here & 2. Ken tells us if it's RICO and if Michael Avenatti is a good lawyer.
Here's this week's episode:

New ATPL:
@jbarro
and
@popehat
on presiding over something where the parties just want to fight you. Oh, not the debate: it's LSFJ Emmet Sullivan's hearing on the Michael Flynn charge. Plus: Trump's taxes, Eric's deposition, Mary Trump's new suit and more.
So, can you just 'nope' a subpoena? In this ATPL
@popehat
says not really but that's what's happening;
@jbarro
reenacts that voicemail Dowd left for Flynn's lawyer, plus treason talk, is Rudy suing Mueller? and is Michael Avenatti still a...lawyer?
Listen:
Breaking news on a Wednesday? Must be time for another All The President's Lawyers. Today:
@jbarro
and
@popehat
on Manafort's sentences, that NY indictment too, plus Avenatti, Cohen, Corsi...all your favorite characters.
Catch up with Ken and Josh:
ATPL is out early! The GOP’s interest in Hunter Biden, more on the McGahn ruling, Mueller grand jury info, Michael Flynn, and also the coronavirus. Don’t worry:
@jbarro
and
@Popehat
tape on opposite coasts. This podcast is practicing social distancing.
Remember on yesterday's ATPL XL episode when
@jbarro
and
@popehat
were like, "bye, we'll be back in two weeks, talk to you then!"?
lol. Here's a bonus episode.
New All The President’s Lawyers: the big legal questions from the Kavanaugh hearing (was it perjury? Did Trump appoint Kavanaugh as a shield from subpoena & indictment? Is that obstruction of justice?) And
