Strange Country Ep. 96: The Mueller Report Part 1


Listen Later

It's Mueller Time, readers. Beth spent the last week reading the entire Mueller Report so you didn't have to. But you should. Really. Go read it. Now. I'll wait. Get ready for Strange Country co-hosts Beth and Kelly to mangle some Russian names, attempt terrible Russian accents and get really, really angry. Total exoneration? This ain't it.

Theme music: Resting Place by A Cast of Thousands.
