No, Putin is Not Our Friend Dammit! with guest Prof. Tom Nichols
Manage episode 232893283 series 2438472
This week, Tara discusses the continued fallout from AG Bill Barr's Senate testimony, his continued misrepresentation of the Mueller Report and the rebuke of Barr's interpretations by over 370 former federal prosecutors who say Trump would be indicted hands down, if not for the OLC policy protecting him as president. Despite President Trump's insistence on "No Collusion" with Russia, Vol 1 of the Mueller Report outlines a very damning picture of Russian election interference and the Trump campaign's willingness to benefit from it. National Security Analyst, Russian expert and author of "The Death of Expertise," Professor Tom Nichols joins Tara to explain the implications of Russia's meddling, Trump's recent call with Vladimir Putin and why this all poses a threat to our republic.
Fun Fact, Tom is a 5x Jeopardy champ! He talks behind the scenes tid bits and weighs in on current Jeopardy champ phenom, James Holzhauer and whether his high stakes play is good for the show.
