This week on the Chicago Stories Podcast Mayor Emanuel sat down with Professor Eric Posner to look behind the headlines of the Robert Mueller investigation and explore its legal dimensions and possible outcomes.

Eric Posner is the Kirkland & Ellis Distinguished Law Professor at the University of Chicago. He’s the author of numerous books and countless articles focusing on constitutional and international law. He’s also been an outspoken commentator on President Trump's administration.

At the forefront of the discussion was the Logan Act, the 1799 law that forbids private citizens from “freelancing” foreign policy, an issue which Eric recently wrote about in The New York Times (“Why the Trump Team Should Fear the Logan Act”).
