That Escalated Quickly
A federal judge ordered the release of Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen from prison on Thursday. On July 9, Cohen and his lawyer went into the U.S. Probation Office in Manhattan to transition from furlough to home confinement. But instead Cohen was arrested by three U.S. Marshals and brought back to prison. Why did this happen? David and Sarah explain.
Check out today’s episode to hear our podcasters discuss the presence of federal police in Portland, the defamation lawsuit against MSNBC host Joy Reid, and Trump’s latest executive order excluding illegal aliens from the 2020 census for apportionment purposes. David and Sarah wrap up the episode with a fiery debate over their favorite legal tv shows.

David French,
Bless your heart, but you are so wrong about salt on chocolate. It is especially delish on chocolate chip cookies. Or, even better what are you thoughts on salted Oreo ice cream? That might just be a thing at my local creamery in Denver, Little Man Ice Cream, it is amazing you need to try it!
Sarah,
Congrats for being right on this one!
Love your pod! Subscriber/listener from the very beginning,
Bennet
I just wanted to give you guys a shoutout. I’m a true blue liberal (I’m not 100% comfortable with calling myself a progressive) who joined the dispatch because David and Jonah seemed to be the ones with the least motivated reasoning on NR podcasts.
Tbh I had real hesitation about Sarah Isgur given the choice to work for Sessions but her form of conservative feminism is a really unique and sincere voice that I think needs to be heard more.
AO is one of my favorite podcasts (of about 20 that routinely update) and its a credit to your intellectual honesty, scholarship and frankly your joint charisma.
I may vociferously disagree with you on guadaloop and Espinoza but I’m very glad you are out here voicing a non straw man-able opposition to many of policy preferences. Please keep it up and best wishes to the Brisket and the future grand-kid!
