Description

Lionel breaks down the stunning 18-count felony indictment against John Bolton under the Espionage Act for allegedly mishandling classified information via a personal AOL account. Lionel dissects Bolton's "First Amendment" defense and explains the difference between malicious prosecution, abuse of process, and "lawfare". Plus, sharp commentary on the controversy surrounding presidential pardons, the debate over whether a recent election victory was a "mandate", and the hilarious, bizarre defenses used during viral traffic stops—from "I wasn't driving, I was traveling" to "Don't touch me, I'm pregnant!".
