Politics often get ugly, and there is nothing uglier than Opposition Research: digging up dirt on your opponent - or sometimes your own candidate. No one knows Oppo better than Joe Rodota, who honed his dark art in the Reagan White House, the Schwarzenegger campaign and other high-profile races in California and across the country. Joe just launched a new podcast, Oppo File, where he examines the history of Opposition Research and looks at famous examples through history, including the 2016 presidential campaign, which was, let's say, a "target-rich" environment. Joe sat down with us to chat about the new podcast and shares tales from his long and fascinating career.
