MoFo's John Carlin debuted his new podcast, Cyber Space, where he engages leaders from the government and the private sector to explore and make sense of issues at the intersection of cybersecurity, law, and policy. In this special episode, John speaks with his successor and current head of the U.S. Justice Department's National Security Division, John Demers, on a wide range of issues, including:
- The civil unrest sweeping the nation and the DOJ’s approach to domestic terrorism and the possibility of foreign involvement in inciting violence during the protests.
- The provisions that led the DOJ to pull its support for legislation to authorize FISA authorities and the reforms undertaken after Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s reports.
- The debate over encryption technology and the consequences of law enforcement’s inability to access communications between terrorism suspects.
