Summary

Did Trump order the hit on Iran's general because both Pompeo and Republican Senators leaned on Trump to create a distraction from impeachment? And, Progressive House Rep Ro Khanna explains what's going on with the resolution on the President's war powers- and what might be the next steps towards putting Trump on trial in the Senate. Will Congress be able to keep Trump from taking us to war, much like it was Congress that finally ended the Vietnam war? Or will a cornered Trump find more insane ways to dominate the news cycle? Plus- Thom's take on Putin's level of control over Trump.
