In
this episode, we speak with former philosophy grad student, and
current high-profile Washington, D.C. attorney, Matt Kaiser. Matt represents
Congressman Eric Swalwell in a lawsuit against Donald Trump, Donald
Trump, Jr., Rudy Guliani, and Congressman Mo Brooks, in which Rep.
Swalwell argues that those defendants should be held legally
responsible for the violent January 6 riot at the Capitol that
tried to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election. I talk
with Matt about the events of January 6, the goals of the lawsuit,
and some of the interesting legal and philosophical issues that it
raises. Then, Matt tells us about what it's like to do
door-knocking for political campaigns, and why he loves those
one-on-one interactions with complete strangers.
