Whichever network you tune into, whether Fox News or MSNBC (and we sincerely hope you never tune into either), you’ll find panels with talking-head lawyers professing to know the exact legal implications of the indictment. As is our mission at Useful Idiots, we aim to be fundamentally opposite of corporate media in all ways. So accordingly, we admit to not mastering the legal implications of anything. Which is why Useful Idiots is hosting a proxy debate on the criminality of Trump’s actions around January 6. Congressional Dish host Jennifer Briney argues that Trump did in fact break the law, while writer and substacker Michael Tracey claims this indictment, like the others, is merely political. It’s a debate you could only get from independent media: respectful, evenly-matched, and honestly hard to choose a winning side. So cut the cable, tune into Useful Idiots, and let us know in the comments who wins you over. Did Trump break the law, or are we watching Russiagate 2.0?

0:38.0	throwdowns for this week. Wilson, throw up this image. Aaron, do you know what that is?
0:42.3	Uh, it looks like a 80s rock band has been super, superimposed with the faces of Joe Biden and
0:49.6	Zelensky and I see Lindsey Graham. Victoria Newland and Chris Christie. Chris Christie, yeah.
0:57.2	Wait, you say it looks superimposed. I thought I did this myself. I thought it looked seamless
1:02.0	and totally realistic. I thought you were going to think they were just those rock and rollers
1:05.6	that they were in a band. I guess I'm just really, I just have a crazy eye. I'm sure the average

1:31.5	where public and suck isn't that weird and that terrible?
1:34.5	Yes. For Democrats suck, we have a case of straight up elder abuse where you have
1:40.5	dying finestein, 90 years old, suffering a series of health issues is being kept in the
1:48.0	Senate by Democrats for unexplained reasons. And accordingly, she keeps being subjected to
