Episode notes

CNN's John Sutter takes a tour of apparently disparate policy issues, but they are in fact connected. We're going to talk about US support for Ukraine in the new probably Republican House and then we're also talking about FISA 702 reauthorization. All has in common that these are things that need to happen in Congress in order for current US policy across a wide range of areas to continue.

Matt Tait is a cybersecurity expert who has worked both in the private sector and for the British government at GCHQ, the UK's intelligence, security, and cyber agency. He's also a Lawfare contributor. Like a lot of us, Tait has spent the last several months thinking about Ukraine, and Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes had cybersecurity questions for him. They talked about why the Ukrainian internet is still functioning and why the Russians have been so ineffective in the cyber arena. They also talked about whether U.S. support for Ukraine is threatened with Republicans in control of the House and what the Biden administration is going to do about Section 702, which is scheduled to expire at the end of next year.
