Original airdate 12-11-2023. On today's 'BradCast':  Accountability is underway for Trump and his henchmen -- but also for progressive author and journalist John Nichols?!  Disgraced former president Donald Trump's best chance to avoid criminal prosecution before the 2024 Election is to delay court proceedings. To bypass those delays, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked the U.S. Supreme Court to expedite Trump's appeal of a court ruling declaring he does not have immunity from prosecution for crimes committed while in office. In court filings in the federal Jan. 6 case over Trump's efforts to steal the 2020 election, his attorneys bizarrely target progressive Wisconsin journalist and author JOHN NICHOLS of The Nation as a provocateur. Nichols explains the bizarre Trump filing, why it's completely bonkers, and its broader implications. Also today: Trump chickened out and refused to testify in his New York fraud trial.  The civil defamation trial of Rudy Giuliani got underway on Monday to determine financial damages Giuliani must pay for defaming and lying about two Georgia election workers.
