'BradCast' 12/27/2017 (Guest: Jon Schwarz of The Intercept)
b"With calls intensifying from Fox 'News' and rightwing media for Trump to fire Special Counsel Robert Meuller, are Democrats doing enough to counter the Constitutional Crisis that would likely ensue if he did so? How have we arrived at a moment in America when an investigation by a Republican Special Prosecutor into the firing of a Republican FBI Director by a Republican President can be considered a partisan Democratic witch hunt?!\\xa0 JON SCHWARZ of The Intercept joins us to discuss the historical chain of events, connecting the dots of lawless GOP Presidential administrations from (at least) Richard Nixon up through Donald Trump to illustrate exactly how we got here. He details a fairly direct line of actions taken by the right, during and after Nixon, right up through today, that has largely prevented real accountability for lawless Republican Presidents, as both the Democrats and the corporate media continue to pull their punches. Plus some election and voting news regarding the so-called \\u2018Election Integrity' Commission headed up by Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas' Republican Sec. of State -- and infamous GOP 'voter fraud' fraudster -- Kris Kobach. And an update in the VA state house race where the Democratic candidate, Shelly Simonds, was declared the winner by one vote after a recount \\u2013 until a Republican election official convinced a Republican-appointed panel of judges to reconsider one discarded ballot. Control of the statehouse hangs in the balance."
