In this episode Eli talks with Andrew McCarthy about Special Counsel John Durham losing his second trial in his Russiagate investigation. It's strange that he brought two cases against bit players and hasn't charged senior FBI officials, despite presenting compelling evidence that the FBI investigation was riddled with errors and deceptions.

0:00.0	Welcome back to the re-education.
0:01.7	Today we are talking about special counsel John Doran's failure to win a conviction
0:05.2	in the two jury trials he has brought as part of the investigation into the FBI's probe of Donald Trump's campaign and Russia.
0:14.0	My guest is former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy, who is now a writer at National Review and a contributor at Fox News.
0:24.9	The real public interest here was being served by exposing the full extent of the corruption

1:07.8	John Dorham is a partisan, doing the bidding of Donald Trump and his corrupt
1:11.8	attorney general. As for Trump's many fans, Dorham was supposed to punish the FBI for doing the

1:32.9	Clinton and Donald Trump during the 2016 election responding to Barr's comments on MSNBC.
1:39.4	Well, my belief is that, you know, former Attorney General Barr's concept of justice is more
1:43.6	appropriate in the totalitarian regime than it is in the United States.
1:47.4	You don't bring—look, they arrested two people.
1:51.2	Igor Danchenko and Michael Sussman were arrested, had their liberty deprived, were brought
1:55.7	to trial, were facing jail.
1:59.0	Also, Bill Barr could get out talking points favorable to Donald Trump?
