Summary
This is a jam-packed, extra-length show that covers as many of the pressing stories in the news that we could cover!
We begin with the breaking news that Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyers perjured themselves by filing a fraudulent address in defiance of a court order; we tell you why that's bad and what's next for the domestic terrorist.
After that, it's time for a lengthy breakdown of the DC Statehood Bill, including a discussion of the potential future legal challenges (and solutions!) as well as the timing for when we can expect 2 new Senators to be seated!
Then, it's time to break down former President Trump's (laughably bad) response to the Article of Impeachment. Phew!
Links
- You can check out Rittenhouse's brief in opposition to the bond increase.
- Here is the full text of the DC Statehood Bill introduced by Tom Carper.
- You will not believe how bad the lawyering is in former President Trump's (laughably bad) response to the Article of Impeachment, and you can also read the Inquirer article on Trump's new lawyer, Bruce Castor, who seems like a real peach.
