Suskind and Wimmer discuss the legal ramifications of Suskind's 2004 book, The Price of Loyalty, and touch upon the latest saga of information leaks involving Edward Snowden. Together, Suskind and Wimmer expound on the changing balance of power between the press and the government while giving their thoughts on the future of that complicated relationship.
