Defund the FBI: the DOJ Crosses the Rubicon & the GOP Goes Beyond Parody

In this episode, Alex focuses on a new report that former Chief of Staff, John Kelly, said that Donald Trump wanted his generals to be more like the Nazi generals during WW2. This again shows Trump’s ignorant views of history and why he views everything through the lens of loyalty. Kelly also has said that Trump disparged wounded veterans. Then Alex discusses the shocking FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago that occurred on Monday. Alex avoids too much speculation on what will come from this raid, but he does focus on how GOP lawmakers and right-wing media figures are reacting to it. Instead of being silent until more information comes out, they are attacking the FBI and assume that Trump is innocent and that it is a hit job. It seems like they are finally showing that they think Trump is above the law. Even Kevin McCarthy has threatened to hold investigations of the Justice Department and Marjorie Taylor Greene has called to defund the FBI. It seems like the DOJ has crossed the rubicon and things may be getting interesting. Finally, Alex discusses some of the highlights from the primaries in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
