”A Coup in Search of a Legal Theory”

In this episode, Alex starts with the feud between Ron DeSantis and Disney, why the “Don’t Say Gay Bill” will create a permission structure to be cruel to minority groups, and why he is angry that Jen Psaki is leaving the White House for MSNBC. Then he goes into the statement from a federal judge that said Trump and his allies did commit illegal activity and were basically pursuing “… A Coup In Search Of A Legal Theory.” Alex then goes into new revelations that Trump has withheld over 7 hours of phone records from the January 6th committee. Conveniently, these 7 hours were right when the riots were occurring. Alex then discusses how prosecuting Trump could only feed the conspiracies, and that Trump is more of a political problem than a legal one. He wraps up the episode by going over some updates on Ukraine, in which a Russian fuel depot has been bombed and it looks like things aren’t deescalating too well.
