Summary

The DNC’s case for Russiagate was centered on unverified, and now debunked, claims from an IT contractor called “Crowdstrike” that was paid to make us to think that the DNC’s emails were hacked by Russia. This narrative went the same way as the Steele Dossier and other laughable excuses for Hillary Clinton getting beaten by Donald Trump. Lee Camp takes a victory lap this week as the final pillar of the Russiagate conspiracy theory crumbles. Chris Hedges, the author and presenter of “On Contact” on RT, joins Lee Camp for a conversation around his latest book about teaching in American prisons. They also discuss corruption in the media and the U.S. System of Justice.
