OA690: Jack Smith Speaks Softly but Carries a Big Subpoena
Added 2023-02-13 17:44:12 +0000 UTCIn today's episode, Liz and Andrew break down all the developments in the two federal criminal investigations pending about former President Donald Trump that have been delegated to Special Counsel Jack Smith.
First, in the documents case, Liz and Andrew discuss why -- all of a sudden -- Trump's team seems to be voluntarily turning over documents, along with a grand jury appearance by Trump's lawyer, Evan "the Cork" Corcoran. Is this normal? (No.)
Then, Andrew and Liz break down the bombshell news that Mike Pence has been subpoenaed to appear before Smith's grand jury, presumably to discuss 1/6-related issues. Liz brings her journalistic instincts to bear and Andrew tells us all about that other executive privilege case involving a certain former President who also definitely was not a crook.

Says the guy with no punctuation and a nearly completely unintelligible sentence. Great psyop here.

2023-02-13 19:58:40 +0000 UTCCheck the December/January post lists. It was two paid per week. This is roughly on track. Probably just feels fast because might be catching up a bit to the normal total.

2023-02-13 18:31:06 +0000 UTCIt seems that the new policy of not interacting with listeners has the added benefits of insulating from criticism & removing expectation of a response. It's deeply sad and disappointing.

2023-02-13 18:12:48 +0000 UTC"Pretending nothing happened and then releasing three paid episodes without Thomas within a week" is not the path I expected this podcast to go down after hearing Andrew's apology.
