Summary
Today - the chaos Republicans are creating to hide Trump's crimes and his impeachment. Does Bill Barr really believe the Democrats hacked their own servers on the orders of Obama, or is this an example of 'the noble lie' that Barr- a Roman Catholic activist- has stated he believes in.
Can the disinformation campaign distract enough people from the damage Trump is doing to America to get him re-elected in 2020? How might this play out if it comes to a constitutional crisis, and what might John Roberts do?
How is the military reacting to his betrayal of our brothers-in-arms the Kurds? Why are the Republicans so in on abandoning our bases to the Russians?
And, Thom reads from 'Shatter the Nations'- a new book about the war on ISIS.
Plus- Victoria Jones on Brexit.

| 0:50.5 | deceased William Safire New York Times columnist whose column on language I just |
| 0:56.2 | loved. |
| 0:57.2 | Absolutely brilliant stuff. |
| 0:58.7 | A fan of the serial comma, but I devolve into a drunken white territory at |
| 1:03.4 | at my risk I realize but in any case that Bill Barr has shifted what was an |
| 1:09.0 | administrative inquiry into the as Donald Trump called it the oranges of the Russia investigation |
| 1:16.0 | the origins of course. |
| 1:20.0 | He's shifted this from an administrative inquiry. |
| 1:22.9 | In other words, hey, we're going to go back |
| 1:24.6 | and we're going to talk to some folks |
| 1:25.8 | and we're going to ask what's going on, but, you know, |
| 1:28.6 | it's not under oath, it's not with criminal penalties, |
| 1:32.2 | all that kind of stuff. |
| 1:33.6 | He has shifted this into an actual criminal inquiry, |
