Summary

James and Al welcome Director Alex Gibney of HBO’s Crime of the Century to the Politics War Room to take on the threats to the American people posed by lobbyists, Big Pharma, and corporations who would put profits above people.

EMAIL YOUR QUESTIONS TO JAMES AND AL AT [email protected] OR TWEET THEM TO @POLITICON.
