Who knew a British spy novel would have so many parallels to America 2017? Listen in to this week’s episode as we review the testimony from James Comey and the peculiar defenses by Peach Perón’s surrogates, a Republican Congresscritter calls for us to support ISIS, new mandatory minimums for sexting, police practicing their new techniques for killing unarmed Americans (choking!) and for putting out fires (kicks to the face!), and for #Law140 we consider if President Trump is violating the First Amendment by blocking people who tweet him.
