May 15, 2019 Timothy Snyder Speaks, ep. 11: Much More Than Collusion

May 15, 2019 Timothy Snyder Speaks, ep. 12: The Mueller Investigation
The Mueller investigation is not a contest of men but of principles. It is a contest between two ways of seeing the world, the outcome of which will very possibly determine whether or not the notion of an American republic makes any sense. This lecture is not about the details of the investigation, but about its wider sense and meaning for the future of the country.
