b"Encore: original air-date 2-15-2023. On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0\\xa0 Accountability takes a while, especially when it relates to criminal accountability for a former President of the United States for the first time in history. Independent national security and accountability journalist MARCY WHEELER of Emptywheel.net delivers a deep dive into the latest details from the various federal investigations into Donald Trump that are now being overseen by Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith. Wheeler explains the latest developments in the probe of hundreds of stolen, classified documents recovered by the FBI last year at Trump's Mar-a-Lago beach resort, and the ongoing investigation of the conspiracy behind Trump's multi-pronged effort to steal the 2020 election, including the January 6, 2021 insurrection he incited at the U.S. Capitol. Wheeler knows nearly as much about the many criminal cases against Donald Trump as the prosecutors themselves, and as usual offers a ton of important, smart and well-informed insights into recent revelations and what to expect as the investigations move slowly but inexorably forward."
