Summary

Before he was president, Harry Truman was a junior Senator who created a very effective bipartisan committee called the Senate Special Committee to Investigate the National Defense Program. We know it today as "The Truman Committee." Steve Drummond, author of the new book The Watchdog: How the Truman Committee Battled Corruption and Helped Win World War Two, joins us to talk about the committee's impact on the country during war time, and how it is still a model to fight corruption. Also on the show, Kevin Spacey is found not guilty again by every court he faces except the court of popular opinion. And Hunter Biden's plea deal collapses. Shocker.

0:35.1	who we are told and who was documented, at least according to the satisfaction of the
0:38.9	press and a civil judge in Los Angeles, was adjudicated to be a sexual harasser.
0:46.4	Is he perhaps not a criminal sexual abuser?
0:49.8	That's what all the courts who have looked at the case have said.
0:52.8	The prior to catch you up, the prior prosecutions, one was a non-prosecution in Massachusetts,
0:58.8	where prosecutors dropped the charges that Kevin Spacey sexually abused or inappropriately

1:05.4	Then there was the liable trial last year in New York, this dealt with a 1986 accusation

1:17.8	on the preponderance of the evidence standard said it was less likely that Kevin Spacey
1:24.9	abused Anthony Rap than it was more likely.
1:28.4	Preponderance of the evidence, you just have to prove by 50 point of feather more than 50
