OA690: Jack Smith Speaks Softly but Carries a Big Subpoena

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>In today's episode, Liz and Andrew break down all the developments in the two federal criminal investigations pending about former President Donald Trump that have been delegated to Special Counsel Jack Smith.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>First, in the documents case, Liz and Andrew discuss why -- all of a sudden -- Trump's team seems to be voluntarily turning over documents, along with a grand jury appearance by Trump's <em>lawyer</em>, Evan "the Cork" Corcoran. Is this normal? (No.)</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Then, Andrew and Liz break down the bombshell news that Mike Pence has been subpoenaed to appear before Smith's grand jury, presumably to discuss 1/6-related issues. Liz brings her journalistic instincts to bear and Andrew tells us all about that <em>other</em> executive privilege case involving a certain former President who also definitely was not a crook.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Notes</strong><br /> CNN Trump handover of docs<br /> https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/10/politics/trump-classified-records-laptop/index.html</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>18 USC § 793<br /> <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/793" target= "_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/793</a></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><em>Washington Post</em> on Judge Howell<br /> <a href= "https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/12/08/trump-contempt-mar-a-lago-records/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/12/08/trump-contempt-mar-a-lago-records/</a></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Trump Subpoena Issued<br /> <a href= "https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/12/trump-was-issued-subpoena-for-folder-marked-classified-evening-briefing-discovered-at-mar-a-lago" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.theguardian.
