'BradCast' 8/21/2018 (Guest: Attorney, election integrity advocate, journalist Jennifer Cohen)
An avalanche of breaking news today, on what may officially have been the worst day of Donald Trump's Presidency to date. Trump's former campaign chair Paul Manafort was found guilty of 8 felony counts related to bank and tax fraud in his Virginia trial, with a mistrial on 10 other counts brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. Manafort faces another federal trial on additional felony charges next month. Trump's longtime personal attorney and \u2018fixer' Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to several felony charges of bank fraud, tax fraud, and campaign finance law violations related to a hush-money payoff of $130,000 made to porn actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 Presidential campaign \u2013 which Cohen said was carried out "at the direction of" candidate Trump "for the principal purpose of influencing the election." Microsoft announced it has shut down several fake websites that targeted U.S. Senate offices, and two conservative think tanks critical of Trump. Jennifer Cohn, attorney and election integrity journalist, reports on two still-unexplained election night tabulation failures in the Michigan and Kansas primaries, and her investigation of a serious reported "computer glitch" in Johnson County, the state's most populous. That "glitch" failure resulted in GOP "voter fraud" fraudster, KS Sec. of State Kris Kobach, reportedly defeating KS Gov. Jeff Colyer to secure the GOP nomination for Governor by a slightly more than 100 votes out of 311,000 cast. Cohn explains that the same unverifiable voting system will be used in some 16 states and D.C. this November, and what voters in every state can do to oversee the validity of computer-marked paper ballots and electronically-tabulated results on those systems. Plus Desi Doyen has the latest 'Green News Report,' on the Trump EPA's release of a replacement rule for Barack Obama's 'Clean Power Plan' that will allow coal plants to continue polluting, global warming to worsen, and result in death and illness for tens of thousands of Americans each year...
