Amid an abundance of legal issues Mary and Andrew are keeping tabs on, this episode begins with the dismissal of the cases against both James Comey and Letitia James over the unlawful appointment of interim U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan. The co-hosts work through the judge's decision before reviewing some of the procedural missteps made by Halligan in the Comey case. Next comes the news that the Pentagon is investigating Senator Mark Kelly over a video he and other lawmakers made assuring military personnel they are not obligated to follow illegal orders. As Andrew notes, “Isn't that the law? And isn't that what a president and the head of the Department of Defense want?” And last up, Andrew and Mary touch on a double standard over redistricting efforts, as the Justice Department sues California under a pretense of racial gerrymandering, while notably refraining from leveling similar challenges to Texas’ redistricting plans. Further reading/watching:<ul><li>Here is the Washington Post piece Mary and Andrew referred to: <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/11/22/drug-boats-strikes-cia-legal-concerns/" target="_blank">White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats.</a></li><li>WATCH: Here is the video from Sen.
