Summary
Bill Barr has hoodwinked the media with his tweet that appears to defend judicial independence- but this is another hoax from the Coverup King. And -- these are the tricks by which democracy is transformed into fascism. Trump has no respect for tradition and is scornful of values, so he has little stopping him from grabbing more and more power.
Now Trump is holding the State of New York hostage for investigating the Trump Crime Family by blocking the Trusted Travel program -- so essentially extorting the people of New York by withholding a federal service.... Extortion is a form of bribery, an impeachable crime specifically mentioned in the constitution.
After all this, what will we have to do to rebuild our democratic institutions and traditions when Trump is finally gone?
Plus, economist Richard Wolff joins Thom for another look at the state of the American economic system and the people within in.
And Thom reads from 'In Defense of Public Service' by Cedric Alexander.

| 1:14.0 | Bill Barr last night gave an interview to ABC News and basically said these tweets are not helpful. They're making it hard for me to do my job |

| 1:31.5 | do my job of impartial justice under the law. |
| 1:35.6 | But that's not what he said. What he said is they're making it hard for me to do my job, |
| 1:39.6 | which is apparently doing whatever Trump tells him to do. |
| 1:46.6 | This idea that Barr is pushing back on Trump |
