Elie Honig: 本期节目讨论了特别检察官杰克·史密斯在对特朗普的选举干预案中提交的简报，以及对该简报的批评。Honig认为，史密斯违反了正常的法律程序，为了达到政治目的而牺牲了程序正义。他认为，将史密斯的行为合理化，是为了推翻特朗普，这种说法是站不住脚的。他还驳斥了关于指控延误的责任在于特朗普及其团队的观点，认为司法部在起诉此案上花费了过多的时间，即使不考虑特朗普的行为，也应该将免疫挑战的时间考虑在内。最后，Honig强调了他对程序正义的坚持，以及他对任何检察官失误的批评，无论其政治立场如何。 Mimi Rocah: Rocah 对Sean Combs的性交易和敲诈勒索指控发表了评论。她认为，检察官使用敲诈勒索法来起诉Combs案，是一种有效扩展法律适用范围的方式，尽管存在挑战。她解释了该起诉书如何通过展示一系列行为来证明存在犯罪模式，这符合敲诈勒索罪的构成要件。Rocah还认为，起诉书中对与Combs相关的其他人员的具体描述，暗示了未来可能会有更多人被指控。她讨论了起诉书中包含关于性行为细节的内容，认为这些细节是必要的，因为它可以使案件更真实，并作为证据支持指控。她还指出，陪审员能够理性地看待案件中关于性行为的细节，只要检察官以专业的方式呈现证据。
