hosted by Live Nation Concerts at the Warner Theatre, 513 13th St.
NW, WDC 20004. Tickets are $14. This is a scholarly look at the Mueller
investigation’s findings and next steps for President Trump, Congress, and the

of Columbia, and Joshua A. Geltzer, founding executive director and visiting
professor of law at Georgetown University's Institute for Constitutional
Advocacy and Protection.
Our
nation’s political system is at a critical juncture, with Democrats in Congress
squaring off against a president with a penchant for disregarding the political
norms that bound his predecessors. With talk of impeachment and a polarized and
heated 2020 election in the air, Profs and Pints is staging a special event in
which two talented law professors and acclaimed legal experts will help you
gain a thorough understanding of our current situation and the challenges
ahead.
Professor
Randall Eliason will address “The Mueller Report: Where Do We Go from Here?” Professor
Joshua Geltzer will examine “When the People Speak.” What if Trump refuses to
leave after the 2020 results are counted? See https://www.facebook.com/events/1060115250849470/.
