A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Crackpot Lawyers (Guest: Rick Wilson)


Listen Later

This has been a very very very very very bad week for Donald Trump … and Matt DePerno … and former Representative Daire Rendon … and the Michigan Republican Party. 

Spoiler alert: it’s another week of our true-crime podcast.

But for six state House Democrats who were targeted for recall It was a pretty good week with the state Board of Canvassers rejecting the proposed recall petitions (all of them ably represented by their lawyer, Mark Brewer!)

The podcast was recorded minutes after Donald ‘Jail-Adverse” Trump was arraigned for the third time this year on felony criminal charges. Joining the conversation as we mark a truly momentous moment in U.S. political history is longtime Trump critic Rick Wilson.

A former member of the Republican Party, Rick has produced televised political commercials for governors, U.S. Senate candidates, Super PACs, and corporations. He left the Republican Party following the 2016 United States presidential election, and in late 2019 went on to co-found The Lincoln Project.

In 2018, Rick released his first book, Everything Trump Touches Dies, in which he laments the re-alignment of the Republican Party behind Trump. The book reached number one on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list. Wilson’s second book, Running Against the Devil: A Plot to Save America from Trump – and Democrats from Themselves, was published in January 2020.

He now hosts the podcast “Rick Wilson’s The Enemies List.”
