The Trump WH Has Leaked Robert Mueller's Questions to the NYT May 01, 2018

Show notes

The NYT has obtained the questions that Robert Mueller wants to ask Donald Trump. It's clear that it came directly from the Trump White House. It certainly looks like obstruction of justice. It's just another example of how ignorant Trump and his people are and how little they care about the law.

Stormy Daniels files another lawsuit against Trump because he fabricated facts about their case, Bibi Netanyahu makes false claims about Iran and Roy Moore is back in the news. Another day with an avalanche of news! We talk about it with Rebekah Entralgo from ThinkProgress, Dr. Michael Tansey talks about Trump's mental state, and Asawin Suebsang from The Daily Beast gives us all the latest from the White House!

Rand Paul Lost Whatever Credibility He Still Had Left Apr 24, 2018

Show notes

After saying he couldn't support Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State, Sen. Rand Paul from KY has changed his mind and WILL vote for Pompeo's confirmation. Combined with the spineless Dems who will vote for Pompeo, he should be able to walk right in. What a disgrace.
