Summary
Today's host Jefferson Smith digests the Bill Barr spin burying the facts in the Mueller report. What did we really find out this weekend? ------------- Thom reads from 'Truth in Our Times' by New York Times lawyer David E. McCraw. ------------- Progressive Congressman from California's Silicon Valley, Ro Khanna, joins Jeff Smith to digest what crimes or bad behavior we are finding out Trump is guilty of. ------------- Jefferson gets further analysis from Bob Ney, former Republican congressman, and present-day reporter and author. Jefferson makes sense of the state of the Mueller report as he takes fascinating calls from Thom's brilliant listeners. ------------- Jefferson Smith closes out the program with a speed round of listeners, plus his deeply distilled final thoughts on the pickle we're all in.
