About this episode
Who else should be pardoned? The FBI has BEEN the Feds, and horrific prison conditions in Virginia.
This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are all about Criminal Justice Reform. President Biden pardoned his son and all the breathless media coverage has completely missed the point. Who else could he pardon–and why hasn’t he??
Meanwhile, conditions inside of American prisons are so inhumane, that prisoners at one Virginia State institution have been lighting themselves on fire in protest. Tiffany guides us on a deepdive into Red Onion State Prison.
And Trump has proposed a new director for the FBI, Kash Patel, who’s threatening to disband the FBI’s Washington bureau and fire its leadership. Sometimes politics makes for strange bedfellows…
Does the hypocrisy of Mitch McConnell know no bounds? He’s been sounding off on Federal judges who have reneged on retirement since Trump won, calling it “naked partisanship.” Mitch, please.
