Today\'s episode begins with a discussion of the recent dismissal of charges by the Department of Justice against Concord Management & Consulting, LLC (and Concord Catering) with prejudice. Is this another example of Attorney General Bill Barr\'s meddling? We explain that it... probably... isn\'t. Probably.

After that, it\'s time for the first part of a double-length episode in which we tackle your questions about the coronavirus and the law. First up are all the questions involving elections, including whether and how Trump can suspend or eliminate the election, and what would happen if he did. If you\'ve always wanted Vermont Senator Pat Leahy to be President, well, this is the episode for you!
