'BradCast' 8/22/2018 (Guest: Salon's Heather Digby Parton)
b"The fallout, both political and legal, continues today after the extraordinary news events of the past 24 hours, after Donald Trump's former campaign chair Paul Manafort was found guilty of eight federal felonies and the President's longtime personal attorney and 'fixer', Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to another eight felonies. More bad news for Republicans:\\xa0 Trump supporter Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and his wife were indicted on several astonishing counts of fraud, conspiracy and campaign finance violations. Hunter was the second member of Congress to support Trump's 2016 run for president. Salon's Heather 'Digby' Parton from Salon joins us to discuss the fallout from the Manafort and Cohen guilty verdicts and pleas, and the remarkable statement from Cohen's attorney, Lanny Davis, that his client is ready to talk to Special Counsel Robert Mueller regarding the Team Trump's infamous 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians and the "computer crime of hacking" that year. What does all of this mean for the President, the GOP and Democrats just over two months from the crucial 2018 midterms? Also today:\\xa0 rare, and dangerous, Category 4 Hurricane Lane bears down on Hawaii. Plus\\xa0 noteworthy results from Tuesday's primary elections in very Republican Wyoming and occasionally-independent Alaska, where a three-way race for governor could result in a Republican win this November."
