The End of the Great Russia Hoax Hoax: <p>There is one and only one major hoax associated with the relationship between Donald Trump and the Russian government during the 2016 elections. That's the hoax hoax, Trump's denials that he worked with Russian intelligence to get elected. This week's report from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence should finally set that hoax to rest. The bipartisan report not only documents in detail how closely Team Trump worked with the GRU, it also detailed many of the ways they sought to obstruct justice, hide evidence and impede investigators. We discuss the report with four experts: Natasha Bertrand of Politico, Michael Weiss of The Daily Beast, Josh Campbell of CNN and Susan Hennessey of Lawfare. And then, while we're at it, we discuss what the Russians are up to now since 2016 was such a big success for them. Don't miss it.</p><p>Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/d by Deep State Radio

But Hur Emails: Jen Psaki breaks down how Donald Trump’s ominous remarks, encouraging Russia to attack America's NATO allies, undermine our collective security. Congressman Adam Schiff discusses the signal Trump's words send to Russia, and also reacts to the gratuitous swipes at President Biden in this week's report by Special Counsel Robert Hur. Legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Neal Katyal join Jen to talk about the Hur Report, as well as the 14th Amendment case now before the Supreme Court and Trump's defeat at the DC Circuit on presidential immunity. Following the implosion of the bipartisan border deal in Congress, Jen contrasts the political timidity of Republicans in Congress with the resolve of the Democratic majority in 2009 when they passed the Affordable Care Act despite the political risks. Finally, Jen reacts to Tucker Carlson's embarrassing interview with Vladimir Putin of Russia, who steamrolled the former Fox News anchor with revisionist history and disinformation.
