In Re Flynn

This podcast episode discusses the dismissal of bribery and fraud charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, focusing on the controversial actions of Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove. The hosts analyze the resignation of a key prosecutor who refused to comply with Bove's directives, highlighting the concept of "predication" in opening federal investigations. They also cover the launch of "Operation Whirlwind," an investigation targeting Democrats, and the judge's decision to appoint an amicus curiae to review the Adams case dismissal, mirroring the approach taken in the Mike Flynn case. The discussion emphasizes the ethical dilemmas faced by government officials and the potential for political interference in legal proceedings. A key takeaway is the distinction between resigning in protest versus being fired, illustrated by comparing the actions of Denise Chung and Chris Wray.
