This time, we talk with attorney
Mark Zaid, one of the country’s foremost national security and
government secrecy attorneys. Mark has built a fascinating
practice around uncovering government secrets, and representing
clients in the national security realm. We chat with Mark
about the Freedom of Information Act, the pre-publication review
process, and other legal tools relating to government classified
information. He tells us about the FOIA case in which he
sought revelation of the oldest classified documents still being
kept secret by the U.S. government (you’ll have to listen to find
out what they were!), and also about his numerous high-profile
clients, who have included Alexander Vindman, former Defense
Secretary Mark Esper, actor John Cryder, and the national security
whistleblower whose actions led to the first Trump impeachment
proceeding. On a lighter note, we get garrulous with Mark
about his passion for comic book collecting, and the controversy
over “pressing” wrinkles out of old comic books. A very fun
and educational conversation!
