256: Nooze and Booze -- Pelosi, Griner, and Trump in the news

The boys drink a "Patuxent Walnut," and then discuss three recent news items.  Pelosi goes to Taiwan. It was a ballsy move on her part. China stomped around, red-faced and furious, and threatened to shoot down her plane. But she went anyway. Was that right, or will she be the match that starts WW3?  P&C discuss the U.S.-Taiwan relationship in general, and tie it in with Pelosi's visit and Biden's recent bumbles about the U.S. defending the island against Chinese aggression.  Griner goes to jail. The 6'9" basketball star went to Russia with a small amount of marijuana, gets arrested, and has become a pawn in "prison exchange" negotiations.  She's not the only U.S. citizen who's been arrested in Russia for drug possession. Mark Fogel, a former U.S. embassy official, was arrested for possession of 17 grams of marijuana -- for which he had a prescription! But nobody says much about Fogel because he doesn't have star privilege.  The FBI goes to Mar-a-Lago. On its face, this looks like Banana Republic behavior, where law enforcement is used against political enemies. But on the other hand, do we really trust Trump to do the right thing with classified documents, or to tell the truth about it after the fact?  Raiding a former president's and potential future candidate's home is unprecedented, and the FBI should have done far more to make sure this was all above the board. They did not, and the FBI has a huge black eye as a result.
