Elie: 我很高兴地宣布我的新书《当你攻击国王时：司法部对总统从尼克松到特朗普的追捕内幕》即将出版。这本书与播客内容略有不同，我采访了超过35位直接参与现代重大起诉案件的人，包括水门事件到伊朗门事件。我与代表比尔·克林顿的律师、罗德·罗森斯坦、安迪·麦凯布以及特朗普、拜登和亨特·拜登的辩护律师进行了交流。吉尔·温·班克斯和卡尔·伯恩斯坦等传奇人物也分享了他们的见解。我写作时非常愉快，书中充满了精彩的故事和轶事。这本书从更广阔的角度探讨了在特朗普2.0时代，外部政治检察官的制度是否已经终结，以及我们是否应该让它永远消失。我认为特朗普时代更需要某种形式的问责制，因此我写了这本书。希望大家多多支持预售，普里特也为这本书写了推荐语。我会继续推销我的新书，但会尽量适度，不会让大家感到厌烦。
