Why are all of these recent Delphi episodes over 2 hours long!? On Spotify they are normal length.....

Y'all are deceiving your listeners by dismissing what this case is about. It has simply never happened before in the history of this country that a president has attempted to stay in office after losing an election, and the Supreme Court should be focusing on these facts not on hypotheticals - attempting to stay in office unlawfully cannot be an official act. Also, frankly, Brett, you should mention in this podcast that during his administration Trump attempted to appoint you as a federal judge.

This prosecutor apparently has forgotten how adept a teacher is at judging a child when they are saying “ I did’t use any scissors” when they have a pile of cut paper under their desk. Yes we may be a little to sympathetic but we also really good at seeing the crumbs all over the guilty party’s face.
