Episode 4: Ex-Pres Ex-perts

February 10, 2021

Donald Trump is on trial; Akhil and Andy make sure you are armed and ready.

The impeachment trial has begun.  We depart from our leisurely time-independent pace to go nearly live and address the most important issues.  Can you try an ex-president?  Is this really about “insurrection?”  What are “high crimes and misdemeanors?”  How can Presidents Obama, Bush, et all help? Akhil and Andy also discuss their recent op-ed from the NY Daily News earlier this week.
