Research that resonates.

He's the president of the Government Accountability Institute, Peter Switzer.

Peter Schweitzer. Peter Schweitzer. Peter Schweitzer has spent many years, in fact, probably

done a more comprehensive job than anyone's ever done, chronicling the corruption by the powerful in Washington.

The very prescient Eric Eggers.

Join me right now is Government Accountability Institute Research Director, Eric Eggers.

We're going to take information that we've learned, that people like Peter Schweitzer have uncovered,

and we're going to try to go further.

Great investigative reporting, Peter. You're the only one doing it. Thank God. Eric Eggers from the Government Accountability Institute and co-hosts of that great podcast, The Drilled Down with Peter Schweitzer.

This is The Drill Down with Peter Schweitzer.

Hello and welcome to The Drill Down, where we drill down and expose cronism and corruption in the federal government in Washington, D.C.

The host of this program is normally Peter Schweitzer. Peter is out of town this week.

So I, the co-host, Eric Eggers, am here.

And of course, hosting a program like this is such a monumental job.

I could not begin to do it alone, but I'm very pleased to be joined by someone who can

help us unpack and I think expose one of the biggest stories of the last, really, multiple

decades. It is, in fact, mid-July, which means we are at the one year anniversary of one of the

biggest political events

in modern history. July 13th, the assassination attempt of Donald J. Trump. One person who has

doggedly exposed lots of things in that last year is Susan Crabtree. She's an award-winning

investigative reporter for Real Clear Politics. She's also an author. She wrote a book

with Jed McFatter exposing cronism corruption in California. Susan, it's great to be with you.
