Description


After dozens of classified documents were uploaded to an online gaming chat group, the FBI has arrested a suspect in connection with the leak. We’ll get into some of the digital breadcrumbs the suspect left behind and why there may be no such thing as anonymity on the internet. Then, the plot thickens in the Clarence Thomas scandal. Plus, what do Queen Latifah, Daddy Yankee and Super Mario have in common?

Here’s everything we talked about today:
