Liz and Andrew talk about the surprising acquittal of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on all 16 articles of impeachment before discussing the companion efforts to gum up the works in the attempt to hold Donald Trump and his co-conspirators responsible for trying to steal the 2020 Presidential Election.
In the Patreon Bonus, Liz and Andrew set the record straight on Michael Flynn in light of the government’s recent motion to dismiss Flynn’s attempt to sue for wrongful prosecution. (Hint: he was not wrongfully prosecuted.)
