This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Anna Bower, Eugenia Lostri, and Roger Parloff to discuss the weekâs big national security news, including:
âPutting the Dismal in Dismissal.â Donald Trumpâs election as president for a second time puts the state and federal criminal charges against himâand potentially some of his supporters and co-conspiratorsâin unprecedented historical territory. Where do these cases seem to be headed? And what will it mean for the broader effort at accountability, especially around Jan. 6?âTaking Bytes Out of Crime.â As one of its last acts in power, the Biden administration seems poised to support a forthcoming U.N. convention on cybercrime, despite reservations among some observers that it may be abused by autocratic regimes and strategic rivals. Why is the Biden administration tempted by the treaty? And what will its support at this late hour mean in practice?âMeme of Rivals.â Donald Trump is only one week in as president-elect but has already released a flurry of appointments and rumored appointments for senior positions in his forthcoming administration. And those appointed range from established Republicans like Sen. Marco Rubio, who is rumored to be Trumpâs pick for Secretary of State, to iconoclasts like billionaire Elon Musk, who is co-heading a âDepartment of Government Efficiencyâ (or âDOGEâ). What should we make of these selections thus farâand the process behind them?To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

As the U.S. tries to come to grips with a resurgence of political violence in recent years, it's instructive to look at how the norm against political violence eroded during the late Roman Republic and contributed to ultimately autocratic rule.
Catherine Steel, Professor of Classics at the University of Glasgow, specializes in the political history of the Roman Republic and its institutional structures and has written books and articles about the period. She joined David Priess to discuss her path from studying Cicero to researching and teaching the politics and history of ancient Rome, the core political features of the Republic, the concept of tribunal sacrosanctity, the challenges of dealing with primary sources on ancient Rome, how political violence flared in 133 BCE around Tiberius Gracchus, the political violence 12 years later around his brother Gaius Gracchus, the 20 years of off-and-on political violence around Marius and Sulla, the intent and effects of Sulla's constitution, the lead-up to Julius Caesar, Roman citizens' awareness of changes in the Republic, implications for today, and more.

They also discuss the abuse of the impeachment power given current politics and what can be done about it, as well as whether Trump should have been convicted and disqualified in the second impeachment.

From February 10, 2018: In his recent New York Times bestseller âTrumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic,â David Frum, senior editor of The Atlantic, lays out a compelling account of how President Donald Trumpâs tendencies could push the United States toward the illiberalism that many Americans believe the republican system of government to be immune to. In an event on Feb. 7 at the Brookings Institution, Frum sat down with Jonathan Rauch, Elaine Kamarck, and Lawfareâs Benjamin Wittes for a conversation and Q&A on the book and Trumpâs threats to democracy.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Alan Rozenshtein, Benjamin Wittes, and Molly Reynolds to talk through the weekâs big national security news, including:
âAn Eye for an Iran.â After weeks of waiting, Israel finally launched the strikes on Iran it had long promised in response to the volley of missiles Iran hit it with earlier this month. Compared to expectations, the strikes were relatively limited and aimed primarily at Iranian military targets, instead of its nuclear and oil infrastructure. And the United States is now urging an end to these âtit-for-tatâ strikes. But is this likely to be the case? Or are Israelâs actions just the beginning of a bigger conflict?âHe Just Slid into my DMs!â This week, the Wall Street Journal published a stunning report indicating that billionaire industrialist Elon Musk has been having previously undisclosed communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin and other senior Russian officials. How concerning should these conversations be? And what ramifications might they have for U.S. national security?âPost Mortem.â Washington Post owner Jeff Bezosâs late decision to squash an official editorial board endorsement of Kamala Harrisâand to abstain from presidential endorsements moving forwardâhas triggered a tidal wave of opposition, leading to hundreds of thousands of canceled subscriptions from a newspaper that was already set to lose substantial sums of money this year. How wrong-headed was Bezosâs move? And what should the proper response be?For object lessons, Alan hyped the sci-fi classic "Hyperion Cantos," by Dan Simmons. Molly celebrated a profile of a former student of hers by the inestimable W. Kama Bell, which is part of a new Washington Post series on civil servants. Scott urged listeners to get out and participate in democracy this pre-Election Day weekend. And Ben logrolled for Lawfareâs newest podcast endeavor: Escalation, an audio documentary series on the origins of the conflict in Ukraine.
