Summary
The podcast today features 2 congressional committee hearings > one from the left and one from the right. First, Glenn discusses Mark Pomerantz. He's the former prosecutor who once oversaw the Manhattan D.A's investigation into former president Donald Trump's New York crimes. Glenn tells us he has now testified to the House Judiciary Committee, but things didn't work out for Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan. Next Glenn talks about the Republican billionaire mega donor Harlan Crow who has been lavishing expensive gifts and benefits to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Crow wrote a letter saying he is refusing to cooperate with Senate Democrats for information on what gifts he has given to Justice Thomas. Glenn explains why his plan to stonewall them won't work.
