It Was Always Going to End This Way

During an interview with the Associated Press on Tuesday, Attorney General Bill Barr said that “to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.” In what seems to be a clever attempt to appease the president, Barr also said during the interview that he had appointed John Durham as special counsel to investigate the Russia-Trump probe in October. Will news of Durham’s appointment appease Republicans? Is there a legal defect in the Durham appointment? Sarah and the guys give us the breakdown. On today’s episode, our podcast hosts also analyze Trump’s election litigation madness, the ethics of COVID-19 vaccine prioritization, and last week’s killing of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

I think you guys should stop talking about the election results. You keep on rethreading the same stuff about trump people being crazy and I totally disagree with it. I think there are things that need to be reformed such as requiring voter ID that could have changed the results of the last election. But you guys just keep on preaching to the choir and not talking about what needs to be fixed. And David saying that the right could become violent was especially hard to hear considering the left has been rioting since June.

I thinks it’s extraordinarily unlikely the Supreme Court will hear the “voter fraud” case, but I wish they would hear it because doing so would convince at least some of the Republican conspiracy theorists that there isn’t actually widespread voter fraud. Currently these claims are tearing at the fabric of our democracy, so any marginal convincing of the currently delusional MAGA crowd would be useful.
