No, Putin is Not Our Friend Dammit! with guest Prof. Tom Nichols

Honestly Speaking with Tara Setmayer

This week, Tara discusses the continued fallout from AG Bill Barr's Senate testimony, his continued misrepresentation of the Mueller Report and the rebuke of Barr's interpretations by over 370 former federal prosecutors who say Trump would be indicted hands down, if not for the OLC policy protecting him as president. Despite President Trump's insistence on "No Collusion" with Russia, Vol 1 of the Mueller Report outlines a very damning picture of Russian election interference and the Trump campaign's willingness to benefit from it. National Security Analyst, Russian expert and author of "The Death of Expertise," Professor Tom Nichols joins Tara to explain the implications of Russia's meddling, Trump's recent call with Vladimir Putin and why this all poses a threat to our republic.
