Summary
Corn is the Co-Author of Russian Roulette on Trump/Russia and the Mother Jones DC Bureau Chief. He and Bill discuss how the BS "Obamagate Scandal" is the logical extension of Trump's birtherism hoax and his attempt to re-write the history of the Russian attack in 2016 to elect Donald Trump. What Corn calls the greatest political scandal in American history.
Today's Bill Press Pod is sponsored by the front line workers in our supermarkets, pharmacies and food processing plants, members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union. More information at UFCW.org.
