J. Michael Luttig is the former federal appeals court judge who advised
Vice President Mike Pence that the VP had no authority to reject
electors on Jan. 6. Back in February, Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza
spent four hours interviewing Luttig for a Deep Dive episode that ended
up being mostly about his extraordinary role advising Mike Pence on Jan.
6. Given the interest in Luttig this week, we went back through what was
left on the cutting room floor to create a new show that goes deep on
who Luttig is and where he comes from, which will help you understand
why this lifelong right-winger is saying what he’s saying now about the
threat to democracy.
