Prevail with Greg Olear

The Bailiwick of Jersey, the British Crown Dependency in the Channel Islands, has long been a tax haven for corporations, criminals, royals, and rich people who don’t like to pay their fair share. It’s also one of the most corrupt places in the Western world. Greg Olear talks with investigative journalist Leah McGrath Goodman—author of the recent article “The Heiress, the Queen, and the Trillion Dollar Island” and the EP of the BBC documentary “Dark Secrets of a Trillion Dollar Island: Garenne”—about her years of reporting on the island, as well as Bitcoin’s founder, 2020’s oil market chicanery, Goodman’s new Arianna Huffington biography, and NYC umbrellas. Plus: A word from our sponsor, the Bank of the Badda Bing.

Description: Volume 5 of the Senate Intelligence Committee Report on Russian Interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election makes it pretty clear that, while there may have been no “collusion,” there was plenty of coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence. It is damning. Why was the release of the Report in August 2020 not a bigger deal? Alison Greene and Aaron Harris join Greg Olear to discuss.
