This week on Bombshell, Quinta Jurecic of Lawfare (and Washington Post!) fame joins us to break down the Mueller investigation, AUMF debate, and whether Mike Flynn is really a character from a Coen Brothers\' movie. We also discuss the president\'s trip to Asia and do our best to understand the drama in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, which is all happening without the benefit of a functioning State Department.\\xa0Quinta confesses her love of James Comey\'s Twitter account, while Erin and Loren do their best cosplay courtesy of Rag and Bone.
