Nicole Sandler and Marcy Emptywheel on the "Oranges" [re: Origins] of the Russia Investigation and John Durham

 5-19-23 - Nicole Sandler Show - We wrap up the week today with another visit from independent journalist Marcy Wheeler. She does a better job of covering the actual news dealing with national security and the various investigations into the former guy (and all news items related) than I see anywhere in the corporate mainstream press. You find her work at emptywheel.net.

I'm honored that Marcy checks in with us every 3-4 weeks or so, and fills the hour with information. Today is no different. 

We mostly discuss the Durham report that was released on Monday, on the 4-year long investigation into the oranges* of the Russia investigation.

(Yes, I know it was supposed to be the origins, but TFG couldn't remember the word origins. Yikes.)

GOP: Death Worshipers ?! Thom Hartmann Program

May 15, 2023 - Republicans are promoting death yet again and their funders, the morbidly rich right wing billionaires don’t seem to have a problem with it. They could end this “death cult” in a single day — simply by refusing to fund further any politician who continues to embrace guns, transphobia, insurrection, and hate… It certainly appears the right wing uber-rich worship death…or, at least, the killers behind the cult.
