Hey Trumpcast listeners, Jacob here to bring you the first episode of Season 2 of Slow Burn.

Earlier this year we introduced the first season of Slow Burn, which was about what it felt like to live through Watergate.

It was such a good show and I can't tell you how much positive response we got to it from Trumpcast listeners and others.

Well, for Season 2, Leon Nayfok and the Slow Burn team turned their attention to the only impeachment that actually did happen in the past 140 years or so, the impeachment of Bill Clinton.

This show was about what it was like to live through that scandal.

And as someone who did live through it, it really took me back to what was in some ways the only real precursor to the era we're living through now with Donald Trump.

But whether you're around that or not, I think you'll find this show revelatory and disturbing and dramatic.

The first episode is about the special prosecutor putting the squeeze on Monica Lewinsky and about a partisan abuse of prosecutorial power that's still breathtaking to recall.

So without further ado, here's Season 2, Episode 1 of Slow Burn.

Monica Lewinsky didn't know it, but her lunch meeting with Linda Trip was never gonna happen.

Lewinsky was waiting for Trip at the food court inside a shopping mall in Pentagon City, Virginia, just outside Washington, DC.

It was a typical suburban mall, brightly lit with a movie theater, a macy's, and white tiles in the floor.

Lewinsky had come from the gym. She was still in her exercise clothes and she was reading a magazine while she waited for her friend.

It was Friday, January 16, 1998.

Lewinsky was 24 years old. About two years earlier, she'd become involved in a precarious relationship with the president of the United States.

As Lewinsky later told her biographer, her relationship with Bill Clinton had come to overwhelm her life.

She found it hard to think about anything else.

Standing there at the Pentagon City Mall, Lewinsky looked up from her magazine and she saw Linda Trip heading towards her on an escalator.

Suddenly, she gestures. I mean, Linda Trip is coming down on the escalator and gestures towards some men behind her.

That's journalist tornado Adler. She wrote about Monica Lewinsky and what happened to her on this day in 1998 for Vanity Fair and the LA Times.

And suddenly these guys apprehend her and they keep saying that she's already in steep trouble with the law and it can only get more steep unless she does as they ask.

The two men who approached Lewinsky were wearing dark suits and carrying badges.
