Following the kidnapping of Maduro by our military, James and Al examine the role that oil and the court-ordered release of the Epstein Files played in Trump’s decision to intervene in Venezuela, how it will affect our politics, and if it’s the start of more aggressive behavior by the administration. Then, they welcome the author of “Storm At The Capitol”, Mary Clare Jalonick, to discuss the lead-up to J6, Trump’s effect on the crowd and the power of a mob mentality, what actually happened that day, and its ongoing impact on our politics and democracy.

This federal civil lawsuit was filed by a woman who was 13 at the time she was sexually molested by Epstein and Trump and can be found in its entirety at https://cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/Johnson_TrumpEpstein_Lawsuit.pdf
I am referring this to you Mr. Carville, Mr. Hunt in the hopes that you will use your pulpit to publish it. I would add that this lawsuit was withdrawn by the plaintiff four days before the 2016 presidential election, the same day that court records show that Stormy Daniels was paid off. Several years ago I contacted via email the editorial staff of major newspapers asking if they knew about this lawsuit and the only reply I received was from the Washington Post, Wapo said that it was aware of the lawsuit but their position was to not publish articles on pending lawsuits. When I replied that WaPo comments regularly on pending lawsuits I never heard back.
Do our democracy, what remains of it, a favor and put this out there for the public. Its revelation would be his worst nightmare come to life.
President Biden put a $25 million reward on Maduro’s head. Are people aware of this? (Will Trump try to collect?)
