Stephen Miller Undead

Think of Stephen Miller's elevation to be Chief of Staff as a subtraction -- one less person, Susie Wiles, in the room where she can influence the doddering old man -- rather than anything new.

The polarization around the Russian investigation all arose from the Steele dossier. This episode explains how it was likely injected, full of stories designed to be inflammatory, and how Republicans -- probably advised to do so by Russia -- used it to distract attention from the real Russian investigation.

In honor of Don Jr's oligarch-funded wedding party, we're reissuing the Ball of Thread Series from a few years back.
