SHOW NOTES
A brief history of what led to this report and the media's response.
Ch. 2: Mueller Report Confirms Almost Everything Was True - The David Pakman Show - Air Date 4-22-19
The Mueller report confirms almost every major investigative media story from the last 2 years, despite continued claims from Donald Trump and his cronies that reporting was fake news and the report totally exonerates him
Ch. 3: Mueller Investigation Report, Part 8: The GRU - Thom Hartmann Program - Air Date 5-14-19
Part 8 covers pages 36 to 38 and the GRU, the Russian equivalent of the CIA.
The Mueller report proves lies, collusion and obstruction abound. Trump is just lying his way through this scandal like everything else he does.
Ch. 5: The Day After Mueller with Naomi Klein - Intercepted - Air Date 3-27-19
Cable news and real journalism don't have anything to do with each other. If cable news stayed out of "RussiaGate" then impeachment would have already been started. The media has mishandled the Trump admin - to trumps favor.
Comparing the Mueller investigation with previous reports include the Starr report and the Iran Contra investigation
Ch. 7: Trump's obstruction of justice explained - Criminal Injustice with David Harris - Air Date 4-23-19
Trump has been intentionally obstructing justice. Mueller has laid out the case.
