As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force.

Mary McCord and Andrew Weismann teach me something new every episode. I love their interactions as one or the other will clarify a point. Love the snapadoodle discussion in this episode which provided nice levity during these difficult times.

Mary doesn't play well with others. I would love to hear Andrew with a cohost who doesn't have to clean every bone or require someone to genuflect the way Mary does.
Wake up to the fact that Donald J Trump is NOT a criminal, wow shocker

This guy/republican

His prosecutions were faked and there is abundant proof for this, women are not going to lose their rights, they just can’t kill baby’s anymore. Kamala Harris was an absolutely TERRIBLE woman and candidate. Her “ideas” would do more damage than Biden ever did, she kept people in a cell longer then needed just for free labor, she slept with everyone to get to where she was, and trump does not hate immigrants, he hates illegal immigration. And the whole LGTBQ weird stuff, I am personally fine with a adult doing what they want but the fact that they are pushing this on children who’s brains are developing is sickening, and for the people who want to identify as animals? Ok then you just can’t drive a car or own a house or property, because it is illegal in the state of EVERY STATE for an animal to drive, own a house, or own property. Please realize that we are going to be ok and the country is going to be better then ever
Way to focused
