“There Will Be Consequences” (Episode 20)

1 hour 8 minutes

The game of musical chairs in the White House continues, while the Attorney General wastes DOJ time (and your money) trying to get back into the Papaya POTUS’s good graces. Plus a truly bizarre story out of Onslow County NC, state-sanctioned puppycide in Michigan, and Baltimore Police again striving to prove that The Wire was a documentary. Then in our #Law140 segment we talk about the role of grand juries and what that may mean for Bob Mueller’s probe of the Parody President and his campaign’s collaboration with the Soviets.
