United States v. Donald Trump
Terrific episode.
I hardly ever miss a “Post Reports” podcast.
Keep going back to replay particular bits of detail that are super relevant and/or interesting.

PS please ask Devlin Barrett to allow someone to write him up on Wikipedia. I love to know the background of some especially qualified commentators. There are three lines of type about him on the Washington Post web site, to which I subscribe. But I want more!!! And I’m not much good at googling, so wikipedia is great for me.
Biase reporting.
Nice to have an open and fair reporting podcast. Very one sided reporting, especially the episode about Bishop’s death. A popular leader is not always a good leader yet they make him like a saint.
Great show
I listen to this all the time!
