Strange Country Ep. 97: The Mueller Report Part 2

Strange Country

Whew! Mueller Report Part 2 is here and, readers, this is the longest one and the most obstructy. Strange Country co-hosts Beth and Kelly nearly didn't make it, but like a good marathon partner, Kelly dragged an exhausted Beth over the finish line, diarrhea running in rivulets down her legs. Slog through this with us and it will be worth it because then you'll know the president obstructed justice and, yet, he still remains president so you eat your feelings...or is that just me?

Theme music: Resting Place by A Cast of Thousands.
