Episode Synopsis

In this compelling episode of Searching for Common Ground, Mark Perman sits down with renowned whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid, known for defending civil servants, media figures, and intelligence officers across the political spectrum. Together, they dive into the erosion of democratic norms, the rise of fear-driven politics, and how due process and constitutional values are being tested in today's America. With stories from inside Washington and reflections on historical parallels, Zaid challenges us to consider what it really means to protect democracy—and whether there's still a path forward for civil discourse and bipartisan cooperation.
