Summary
Mass-murdering genocidal maniac and proud Russian imperialist and cult of Stalin worshipper Vladimir Putin has been indicted by the International Criminal Court at The Hague. This means there are 123 countries, including every European Union nation, that is legally obligated to arrest Putin should he step foot on their soil. It also means there's no going back to business as usual with Russia as long as Putin is in power.
The ICC indictment and Putin's disasterous war put a big target on Putin's head. Fellow war criminal Igor Girkin who oversaw the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to openly critize Putin, telling him to "shut up" and accuses him of using a body double while the real Putin hides behind long tables. The in-fighting among Russian elite continues, threatening Putin's grip on power. He should stay away from windows and tea parties. Will an indictment of Trump, Putin's favorite asset -- a multi-decade investment via laundered dirty Russian money -- be next?
This week's bonus episode, excerpted here, opens with a discussion of the Putin indicment and the potential for a Trump indictment. We go on to answer questions from our listeners at the Democracy Defender level and higher.

| 0:00.0 | All lies are on Alvin Bragg to bring reforms and to bring transparency and justice. |
| 0:10.0 | There were, of course, some prosecutors who were carried over from Sy Vance Jr. |
| 0:17.0 | That showboated, famously resigned, claiming that Alvin Bragg was refusing to indict Trump. |
| 0:22.7 | One even came out with a book. |
| 0:24.5 | But it looks like, according to Trump and his lawyers, and the signs are there that the grand jury is hearing some final testimony in the Michael Cohen case and the hush money payments for Stormy Daniels and that there may be an indictment coming down |
| 0:38.3 | the pipe, which would be wonderful. And of course, it'd be coming from a state like New York and Georgia |
| 0:44.3 | as well in the election intimidation case, Georgia being an increasingly blue state, a Stacey Abrams |
| 0:50.3 | state. And so Georgia, New York being the the states that finally get Trump, would be quite |
| 0:56.1 | fitting given the grassroots engines that exist in those states, the self-organizing, how decentralized |
| 1:01.8 | the power is in those states, the activism there is quite hot. So that's a wonderful thing. |
| 1:07.8 | And that translates into having public officials that do their |
| 1:10.9 | damn job and deliver justice. Let's hope. I'm saying all that to emphasize that the charges are |
| 1:16.9 | not coming from the DOJ. They're not coming from Eric Garland, who kicked the can to Jack Smith, |
| 1:23.1 | who are all hoping is not another Mueller. You see some mythologizing of Jack Smith already, the Jack Smith mystique, just like |
| 1:30.3 | there was a Mueller mystique. |
| 1:32.1 | We are not holding our breath for the DOJ. |
| 1:35.2 | We are hoping that Alvin Bragg finally, finally is the one to get him. |
| 1:40.2 | And that Alvin Bragg being slow to indict was maybe hopefully likely Alvin Bragg protecting himself from whatever nonsense, whatever corruption was left over from Sy Vance. |
| 1:53.7 | So that would be a great case scenario if Trump. |
| 1:58.4 | Ha ha. I almost said Putin. It'll be a great case scenario if Trump is indeed |
| 2:01.7 | arrested and Putin follows. There are a lot of people out there who are simply watching from a |
| 2:16.2 | distance, others fighting back. And they don't |
