In this installment, Chris runs through several different stories with a ‘corruption’ theme about them. First, he talks about HR. 1, a bill the Democrats claim is ‘anti-corruption,’ and examines some of the policies in the bill & whether they fit that definition. Next, he talks about a head of state heading into their next election under indictment who complains that all the allegations of corruption are just ‘fake news.’ After that, he talks about a bit about Trump, the DNC refusing to do a debate on FOX, and gives a quick react on the (then) just-breaking Paul Manafort verdict.
