'BradCast' 9/24/2018 (Guest: Legal reporter Mark Joseph Stern of Slate)
b"On today's show:\\xa0 A bit of a fire drill for the upcoming Constitutional Crisis occurred today when it appeared that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation into Team Trump's alleged conspiracy with Russia in 2016, was going to be fired or forced to resign. That meeting has been put off until Thursday. The showdown with Rosenstein comes on the heels of a chaotic and confusing cycle of breaking news over the weekend.\\xa0 Also on Thursday, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is scheduled to testify before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegations of sexual assault by U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, when they were both in high school. Meanwhile, multiple new allegations of assault by Kavanaugh have also begun to come to light. Slate's Supreme Court and legal reporter MARK JOSEPH STERN explains and analyzes these rapidly moving developments, including US Solicitor General Noel Francisco, a Trump loyalist, who would likely take over the Mueller probe if Rosenstein is removed, and why Republicans are in a desperate panic to install Kavanaugh on their already-stolen SCOTUS. Finally, as Rosenstein appears to be targeted for removal as early as this week, we close with a new song by Ben Folds, inspired by a derisive name Trump is said to use when referring to the Deputy Attorney General: "Mr. Peepers - The Ballad of Rod Rosenstein"..."
