Summary

On The Gist, the latest in the Mueller report saga.  In the interview, the Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, but this year, the horse racing event is overshadowed by high fatality rates among equines in California's Santa Anita Park: 23 have died in just three months. Peter Fornatale follows the races closely, and sees mismanagement on both the park's track and in the appeasement measures that followed: "[It] sort of reminded me of the classic politician's trick of 'you don't like the conversation, okay, let's change the conversation.'"  In the Spiel, Bill Barr, hair-splitter general.

I am so over this situation, Peter. I'm unbumble to find something real. You know, like someone

you can count on, someone who actually cares about what you think. I just want someone

who's ready for that long-term kind of love. Whether you're looking for your next boyfriend,

It's the Gist I'm Mike Pesca. Today, Bill Bard definitely sidesteped and parried the questions

0:52.3

of the Senate as to his handling and characterization of the Mueller report. That description coming directly

0:58.3

from Bill Bard's internal monologue. In fact, he sliced words as if he were a starving Russian peasant trying to make two potatoes

1:06.3

last for winter. If you think I would suggest that Bard's linguistics offshoot was actually a hodgepodge, indeed that is what I'm trying to suggest.

1:15.5

Yeah, but I'm trying to grapple with the word suggest. I mean, oh, brother, one issue was Bard's pushback on the idea that Donald Trump told his counsel

1:24.9

Don McGann to get rid of Mueller. Much depended on the word fire. Did he mean to fire him? He never said fire him. We actually got a preview of this flammable bit of rhetoric a couple of weeks ago

1:38.6

when Trump's private attorney Rudy Giuliani trotted out the combustible defense. Fire's nice and clear. Fire is

second, s'advisors debate. Now, when he says, well, no one rid me of this metals and priest is the king saying that someone should get rid of the

2:15.8

priest or is he saying that someone should saddle the priest up so that in the future, the king could said to have rid him. Hmm, unknowable. When Rudy said it, I thought it was a

2:25.5

reach today. Now that bar saying it, it might be an impeach. We will discuss all of that in the spiel. And no, I don't think it's going to lead to

2:35.0

impeachment. But first, and speaking of that, which is rid, we turn to the track where a spade of death set a California race track has grabbed the headlines, which the

racing industry does not want. After all, this Saturday is the Kentucky Derby, the first race in the triple crown racing expert and horseman
