UnJustified | FBI Lowers Standards with Adam Klasfeld

Judge Talwani has issued a preliminary injunction against the USPS making Trump’s vote-by-mail rule mandatory, but allows states to voluntarily participate if they so choose. Jim Comey has filed his replies to the government’s responses in the seashells case. A history of hiring prostitutes or stealing from an employer may no longer be a barrier to being hired at the FBI. ICE officer Christian Castro has been federally charged for making false statements about the shooting of a Venezuelan man in Minnesota, but the federal prosecutor who brought the charges has been fired. Plus listener questions. Do you have questions for the pod or something for HITMEINTHEHEADWITHABAT?
