Episode: Did Trump Know Of Russian Bounty, And Would It Even Matter?
Description: The New York Times reports that Vladimir Putin and Russia have been paying bounties to Afghanistan for the deaths of American troops, and the White House can't decide on an excuse. Did President Trump know or not know? Did he commit treason or is he just...such a child he can't be briefed properly? Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss yet another disqualifying scandal, as well as the problems with global capitalism and the potential for violence against protesters in the streets.
