Watching the Last Jan. 6 Hearing Was Utterly Heartbreaking

Published: Dec. 20, 2022, 6:31 a.m.

There were two moments that stood out to The New Abnormal host Andy Levy the most while watching the last Jan. 6 committee hearing on December 19, which made four scathing criminal referrals against former President Donald Trump for his alleged involvement in what happened that day. He and co-host Danielle Moodie also discuss other evidence presented during the hearings, the smartest thing the Jan. 6 committee ever did (Shonda Rhimes is brought up in this part of the conversation), and Merrick Garland. Also on this episode: Techdirt founder and CEO of The Copia Institute Mike Masnick tries to answer Andy Levy\u2019s burning Elon Musk questions, such as whether or not the Twitter CEO will step down after a \u201cvery scientific\u201d poll on the platform. Last, Brooking Institute\u2019s Angela Stent, author of Putin\u2019s World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest, breaks down the weird infatuation Trump\u2019s Republicans have with Russia, why she thinks former marine Paul Whelan is still in Russian custody and the ways the country was mocking the U.S. for the Brittney Griner trade.
