Hear Me Out

Don’t Celebrate the Trump Indictment


Listen Later

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… a former president got indicted, and all we got was this stupid t-shirt.


Writer and former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori joins Celeste to make the case that, while historic, this indictment is not a victory for anyone; it’s far from a legal slam dunk, it’s a symptom of a sluggish Justice Department, and it might actually worsen this nation’s political divide (which, in case you haven’t noticed, is already pretty bad). 


Read the pieces Ankush mentions here and here.
