The first one, I was in extremely good company, Terry.
I was in the company of, I think, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and many others.
I tell an anecdote in my book that when that got implemented by Tulsi Gabbard, she dutifully announced, I think, on social media that she had stripped the security clearance of Andrew Weissman, but she misspelled my name.
So I'd like to formally apologize to that Andrew Weissman for being the cause of his security clearance being stripped.
That is true.
Not only did they get my name wrong, but I had been out of government.
So it's one thing to strip somebody of a security clearance when they're in government.
But I was working as a professor.
There was no reason for me to have a security clearance.
So it was all very performative.
Yes.
I think both of those could be true.
The second one was more serious, and it is actually the subject of ongoing litigations.
It was one of the many executive orders that in Trump's 2.0 term in office, he issued with respect to law firms.
So one of them was for a law firm that I had worked at, which was General & Block, where I was a partner.
And that executive order that was issued, I believe, in March of last year featured my name prominently because one of the main sins of Jenner and Block was having hired me.
And so that executive order stripped Jenner and Block of all sorts of
rights and privileges.
They were not the only firm targeted.
I think as everyone listening to this knows that there were many firms that caved to that pressure.
