0:00.0	M-S-S-W media. The Iowa Caucus Nafu has thrown a wrench into the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

0:22.0	Let's get on. What does this mean for the race going forward?
0:23.0	Let's get on topic. Welcome to On Topic, a weekly in-depth look at a topic that helps us understand the week's news. My name's Renato Mariati. I'm a former federal prosecutor, a practicing
0:48.3	lawyer, and a CNN legal analyst. I'm usually joined by my friend Patty Vasquez but she's on the
0:55.3	campaign trail for at least another month or two. So in the meantime let's just
0:59.9	get right to our episode but first I want to thank our patrons who brought you this
