'BradCast' 2/28/2019 (GOP's 'Ignore and Deny' strategy falling apart)

b"On today's \\u2018BradCast': Fallout continues from the bombshell testimony of Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen in the U.S. House Oversight Committee on Wednesday. Republicans' and Trump's 'Ignore and Deny' strategy is falling apart, as they appear unable to substantively respond to the (at least) five felony crimes Cohen alleges that Trump committed before and after he became President of the United States. Trump's Hanoi Summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un abruptly fell apart on Thursday, cut short early with no deal and no agreement signed, and both sides contradicting each other on what actually happened. Trump again failed to address North Korea's brutal and atrocious human rights record, and he publicly sided with Kim over U.S. intelligence agencies (again) regarding the death of 22-year old American student Otto Warmbier after his imprisonment there. In Israel, felony indictments were announced against the dishonest, Trump-supported, right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after a two year investigation. In North Carolina, prosecutors have charged the GOP contractor who allegedly committed absentee ballot fraud in NC's 9th Congressional District in the 2016 and 2018 elections, with more charges for "others" reportedly soon to come. Good news for voters in Texas, where a federal judge has blocked the state from removing as many as 98,000 registered voters from the state rolls in the wake of a wildly inaccurate list released by Acting Secretary of State David Whitley that falsely claimed that they were non-citizens, fraudulently registered to vote in the state. The federal judge found that only 80 of the 98,000 names are actually non-citizens. But that didn't stop (criminally indicted) TX Attorney General Ken Paxton and Trump from trumpeting the false claims. The debacle and the court's reprimand appear to imperil Whitley's confirmation as Sec. of State. Plus: Desi Doyen has the latest 'Green News Report'.."
