Matt Lauer is the latest high profile member of the media to lose his job over allegations of sexual misconduct. As more details emerge, questions are being asked of the power players at NBC. Also on the topic of sexual impropriety by powerful individuals, the publisher of a newspaper in Minnesota recounts stories of sexual assault that his mother faced while working at the State Capitol in Minnesota.

Garland and Lee also take a look at the Supreme Court case surrounding mobile phones and the Fourth Amendment, Carpenter v. US and examine the recent events at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Author Alex Krainer returns to the program to discuss Bill Browder and the Magnitsky Act. Fault Lines plans to continue investigating this story and the official account of events as other media outlets blindly buy into the official narrative.
