'BradCast' 1/4/2024 ('Land of Uncertainty': 14.3, Immunity and Obstruction, with former DOJ official Lisa Graves and Attorney Keith Barber)

What this episode covers

On today's 'BradCast': We are back on the air, for now, after being hit with Covid, but it is unclear if we can pull it off again until everyone tests negative (see: https://bradblog.com/?p=14885 for details). We pick up 2024 with a surge of new developments in the multiple indictments of disgraced ex-president Donald Trump. Colorado's highest state court and Maine's Sec. of State barred Trump from the 2024 primary ballot under the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment barring insurrectionists from public office. That and other cases critical to the survival of American democracy are headed to the rightwing supermajority of the US Supreme Court, including Trump's bonkers claim that he has 'absolute immunity' for any crimes committed while in office, and a bizarre petition challenging the law underpinning the prosecution of hundreds of January 6 defendants. Former U.S. Deputy Asst. Attorney General LISA GRAVES, now of True North Research, and retired attorney KEITH BARBER deliver smart analysis and expert insight on these crucial issues as the 2024 election unfolds, or unravels, before our eyes. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'
