Summary
Thom chats with Elizabeth Holtzman, the only remaining member of the House Judiciary Committee that voted to impeach President Nixon, and author of the new book 'The Case for Impeaching Trump'. ------ Thom reviews some of the probably-impeachable crimes Trump has been shown to have committed. ------ Thom reads from 'The Case for Impeaching Trump' by Elizabeth Holtzman. ------ Co-chair of the Progressive Caucus- Congressman Mark Pocan explains from the inside what moves lawmakers are making- Republicans as well as both Progressive and corporate Democrats. Topics include gerrymandering games played by both Democrats and Republicans, Trumps schemes for delaying or escaping impeachment, avoiding the manipulation of rules of congress, the cost of higher education/student loans, tying executive pay to your lowest-paid employee, and more. ------ Ellen Rattner's Talk Media News brings the most intriguing headlines once again, including the more than 6000 missiles America has fired in Afganistan this year. Teresa May takes a beating on Brexit. Facebook's data sales exposed by the Brits. And Trump gets the silent treatment from the other American presidents.
