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
Obsessed!
I’ve been listening to podcasts almost constantly as I listen to them while painting and creating for my job. I started going though a real spy phase after listening to true spies, and stumbled across this one too, and so happy I did! Love the hosts and feel like I’m being educated on stories throughout history I would have never heard of otherwise. Particularly love the stories of the strong female spies like Mary Bowser. Would strongly recommend :)
Fantastic!
Brilliant podcast, beautifully told.
