Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes

It's Bigger Than Signal w/ Fmr. National Archives Lawyer Jason R Baron

Grant talks with Prof. Jason R Baron from the University of Maryland. Baron was the former litigator for the National Archives and spent more than 20 years working with archivists and fighting for Americans' access to government records and information. 

He and Grant talk about the Signal chat that included attack plans and, accidentally, Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, whether it might have broken the law and why it's a problem if we can't keep track of government conversations for records.
