Monday on Political Rewind: The McMichaels have reached a plea deal to avoid federal charges in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, but a judge needs to sign off on it. Meanwhile, Arbery's parents are calling the deal a betrayal. David Shafer, the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, has been subpoenaed. He'll testify to the congressional committee investigating the January 6th insurrection. Plus, we look at how the Supreme Court could change after the retirement of Justice Breyer.
