Jeffery Toobin on Presidential Power | Reasonably Happy Podcast

from Reasonably Happy with Paul Ollinger · host Paul Ollinger

CNN legal analyst and bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin breaks down the hidden power of presidential pardons — and how they reveal the true character of American presidents. From Trump’s transactional pardons to the controversial case of Hunter Biden, Toobin offers sharp analysis, historical insight, and headline-worthy commentary. He discusses why Gerald Ford’s Nixon pardon was unnecessary, how the January 6th pardons expose Trump’s political strategy, and why public cynicism is fueled by elite immunity. Plus, Toobin opens up about his career, love for golf, admiration for Jim Gaffigan, and his obsession with Evel Knievel’s wardrobe. This episode delivers sharp wit, surprising revelations, and crucial context for anyone interested in politics, justice, or power.Follow Paul: https://www.instagram.com/paul_ollinger/?hl=enCheck out Jeffery's book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Pardon/Jeffrey-Toobin/9781668084946 Get full access to Reasonably Happy at words.paulollinger.com/subscribe
