IN THIS EPISODE Conviction of Judge Hannah Dugan on Obstructing ICE and possible sentences; Epstein Files; The Pardon/Clemency situation; How pardon stats might be used to impact sentencing stats; Updates on Appointments Clause litigation; Solving Doug's Mystery tequila gift; A word on the "FIFA Peace Prize."
