Trump Indictment Indicted (Robert Wright & Mickey Kaus)
It seems to me that NOT addressing Trump's transgressions would be more indicative of the USA becoming a banana republic. Trump's behavior demands scrutiny. If the evidence gathered indicates wrong doing, let's get to the bottom of it. If it takes a couple years, so be it. If it damages his campaign, that is the cost he has to bear. If there is real evidence that Biden acted criminally, the same goes for him.
It might be only my imagination, but this podcast seems to be much more like Fox News of late, with its own steady flow of Republican apologetics.
