Are Dems Inching Closer To Impeachment? May 13, 2019

A Showdown for Jerry Nadler and Bill Barr May 08, 2019

Show notes

Rep Jerry Nadler is holding a vote to hold AG Bill Barr in contempt for the lies he told during his hearing about the Mueller Report.

Guest host Peter Ogburn explains the situation and we hear from several voices on the issue.

Plus, could Jerry Fallwell Jr be involved in a scandal? Michael Cohen says yes. When you hear about Falwell's background, everything makes a lot more sense.
