Episode 42: Local Voting Report and the FBI--Corruption Through the Ranks

TALK JAM, Episode 42, is a two-part discussion:

Part I is our breakdown of what's happening in Charleston County, SC with absentee in-person voting now taking place around the county (we're breaking records with the number of voters we're getting!). Even with a skeleton crew, the poll workers in our town are breaking records! We expect plenty more voters and many more ballots cast before Election Day. This will be a truly historic election cycle.

Part II is our discussion about the FBI. Susan discusses the history of the organization, its founding and the first Director, J. Edgar Hoover, who kept stern discipline throughout his organization while also keeping secret files on D.C. political figures, who were terrified of him. Hoover, in turn, never went near the Mafia, because they had their own files (and seriously compromising material) on him and his own secret life, as well. Then Kelly talks about the FBI she once knew and the latest version of it, which seems to let the most important political cases slip through its fingers; is this on purpose or are they just too incompetent to be serving us anymore?  Click HERE for the link to the article Kelly mentioned in this episode.
