Summary
Last week, Sussmann was found not guilty of lying to the FBI when, in 2016, he passed on a tip intended to raise suspicion about connections between Donald Trump and Russia in the lead-up to the election. Plus, a listener question on inflation and government spending. Plus plus, a little love for Isaac's special Friday edition last week.

| 1:11.5 | the Michael Sussman verdict, which came down last week. It was kind of a nutty week last week, |
