After the events of the day in DC we fire up the pod and call upon Jim Newell, Senior Political Writer at Slate Magazine, to help us make sense of today's proceedings in front of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
We examine what was (and wasn't accomplished) over the course of the three plus hour hearing, plus the documents that were released about the communications between the Tour and the PIF - including the "best of both worlds" proposal. We also discuss potential reactions from players on tour, offer some thoughts on the road ahead and close with some listener questions.
