Good but quick

Just a factual based recap without the drama of other reporters and podcasts. Wish the episodes were longer! I also wish the woman reporter would take a throat lozenge before she speaks. Her up and down voice, and unnatural raspy, vibration sound of her voice (is she sleeping?) is not pleasant to listen to, it’s quite distracting . She would benefit by not saying “sure” and “yea” at the beginning of each answer or comment as if she’s 12. Yikes. The men’s voices are smooth, clear, gentle, easy to listen to and follow.

No TY

Sorry. I won’t even listen- you belong to the corrupt politicians in your county/state. Until I see or hear someone whose willing to tell the truth…I won’t be listening.

Borrowed or stole?

Love your podcast. Thank you. One question, I notice you sometimes say Alex M “borrowed or stole…”. I haven’t heard any evidence that he “borrowed” from his clients or law firm. “Borrowing” implies the owner of the funds is aware of and consents to the loan. It seems he simply “stole” the funds.
