I started the Law of the Case podcast because so much of what I was hearing reported about the law, government investigations, and the courts was either wrong or missing the real story. Small wonder: traditional, respected news media usually rely on journalists who have never been lawyers, or journalists with only brief experiences in actually practicing law. On the hand, cable news and podcasts will find actual lawyers to explain the law, but most of the time, they are brought in to represent a partisan, political slant on investigations, cases, and court decisions. So the choice is between non-lawyers who don't know, and lawyers who know but are offering a heavy dose of spin.
The Law of the Case is here to offer the straight scoop on the law from a former DOJ criminal prosecutor who has investigated, prosecuted and tried almost every kind of case the federal government brings.
I am a political independent who carries the water for no party, no candidate, no interest group. I grew up in rural Maine, and we have a proud tradition of independence and an aversion to falling in line with any orthodoxy, right or left. This podcast is for Red State, Blue State, and Purple state folks who just want to know the truth about the law. And if the emperor is wearing no clothes, you'll hear it first on the Law of the Case podcast.

Without carrying the water for either side of the political divide, former DOJ prosecutor Alex Grant breaks down the special counsel's decision not to charge President Biden for retaining classified documents and how Biden's apparently poor memory fits into that decision. Alex also delves into the attacks on the special counsel by the President's allies and how the debate over the President's memory could be resolved by releasing the recordings of the Biden interviews. The podcast also addresses the extraordinary level of deference given to both Biden and Trump in their retention of classified documents and how that compares to lower level government employees who do the same thing.
