The Takeaway - radio news show on NPR. Great discussion last night about the Mueller probe

[NRaleighLiberal]

Well worth catching the show - hosted by Tanzina Vega (who was superb - the entire show was worthwhile - first time I've caught it, was driving home from doing a gardening lecture)

She had on someone from Wired who gave an overview/update on the Mueller probe. He started to calling out Gowdy- his comments to wrap it up, then noting he dragged on the Bengazi thing for many years (with no indictments)...and that Muller already has more than 200.

His main point was that Mueller's probe is actually working in 5 significant areas - and that it is being done very thoroughly and carefully. He noted that it is actually moving very, very fast - but the complexity means it has a long long way to go.

Here is a link to last night's episode - they touch on lots of topics in the hour. It started with a really good piece on Black Lives Matter.

Listen to the July 17 show.

1. I'm going to listen to that.

I keep having this vision of Bob Mueller coming out of the FBI Building w a handful of indictments for the president...and it's a moonscape...cars and buildings leveled and smoldering. Trees picked clean of foliage. No one left around..
.and Mueller says..."Hey...at least I don't have to amend my pleadings. they're perfect!!"

2. He better move faster. The new justice will protect Trump

Heard the Koch Bros are invested in the game
