Summary
As their criminal investigation intensifies, both the New York Attorney General and Manhattan DA are pressuring longtime Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg to flip. It’s through him that they’ll make their case against Trump so they’re ratcheting up the pressure to a fever pitch. All eyes will be on Weisselberg as they squeeze him and his family in coming weeks. Next, the GOP’s desperate attempt to block the formation of a January 6th Commission. Trump toadie, Kevin McCarthy knows that any investigation into the insurrection will be a permanent blight upon the party and their orange-faced leader. Finally, Trump nemesis Miles Taylor returns to Mea Culpa to discuss his “Call for American Renewal” as an antidote to the sick and broken GOP.
