Top Questions of the week from Silvia & Zaza:

He just threw his closest ally, former PM Garibashvili, in prison for five years, and now the State Security Service is going after supermarkets and their owners to bring prices down. Meanwhile, Mr. Shatirishvili publishes a letter claiming that not only Trump, but even Putin, is a Deep State agent. How do you explain this? Has Bidzina completely lost it this time?
