Episode Details

Part 1:
We talk with Liza Featherstone, Contributions Editor, The New Republic.
We discuss how there is increasing violence of the administration against those who dissent. As people are being kidnapped off the streets and from their homes, ostensibly because they are 'illegal' aliens, those who witness and record these events are increasingly being bullied in various ways. Power protecting itself?
Part 2:
We talk with Mark Joseph Stern, Senior writer at Slate who covers courts and legal matters.
We discuss how the Dept of Justice appears to be collapsing. Many lawyers have left, and those who remain are being assigned to ICE matters, rather than investigating crimes, such as cartel crimes, and other, serious crimes. In effect, Americans are LESS safe as a result.
