The President and the Power to Pardon EP 27
Chuck and Karen unravel the history of presidential pardons and discuss many of America’s most controversial pardons. They also unpack what it means for the current (for now) President. They amuse themselves way too much and probably offend everyone. They also ramble a bit. (Disclaimer, neither are attorneys, so our words should not be construed as legal advice)

The Rambling Return
Context and Clarity returns with an exceptionally talkative Karen and weary Chuck. An improvisational episode where Chuck and Karen react to the attempted coups of the United States Capitol.
-
What is a Constitutional Crisis?
Karen and Chuck attempt to define “Constitutional crisis.” They fact check a meme. Chuck chats (also know as a rant). Karen talks civility-what it is and what it isn’t.
-
Dark Money
Chuck and Karen talk PACs and Dark Money. As usual, Chuck tries to steal the last word and Karen sighs again. Several times.
-
Lobbying
Show notes: Chuck and Karen talk about the history of brib-we mean lobbying . Karen can barely get it together to start the show, and Chuck doesn’t really know what is going on
Customer Reviews
Very Enjoyable Spy Stories (Fan from Downunder)
I fully enjoy the light hearted banter (including the puns) during this story telling. It is important we hear about historical and clever spy feats... and misadventures. The stories need to be told because the activities of spies are covert by nature and none of these brave, intelligent individuals ever receive public acknowledgment of their service at the time. Thank you very much for your podcast. Keep up your great work!!
Too much unnecessary banter.
Tell the story! Pausing nearly after every sentence so Chuck can be self indulgent is grating. The banter is way over the top and is way too long, the listener struggles to keep on track with the story.
