DOJ appeals decision for a special master in Mar-a-Lago investigation
Chris Hedges, is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who is a former Middle East Bureau Chief for the New York Times joins the show. He has also written for Truthdig and his work now appears on Substack. Hedges and the Misfits begin the conversation with Donald Trump and his current predicament. We’ve been saying for days that legal scholars believe that Judge Amy Cannon erred in naming a special master to review the documents seized at Mar-a-Lago. Even Trump’s Attorney General, Bill Barr, said that Cannon’s ruling was a mistake. Then the Misfits and Hedges talk about how Lindsey Graham said a few days ago that if Trump is convicted of a crime, there will be riots in the streets and that those riots would be justified. Later in the segment, they discuss Joe Biden’s foreign policy. The expectation was that the Biden administration would reenter the JCPOA and improve relations with Iran. Hedges and the Misfits close with a discussion about US military aid to Ukraine and whether it's extending and escalating the conflict.
