Matt Mackowiak's Mack On Politics

Career prosecutor Jim Trusty is our guest for the 131st episode. He served in senior roles at the Department of Justice and was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Maryland. In this conversation, we explore his impressions of the Mueller Report, whether the obstruction examples are serious, whether obstruction requires an underlying crime, whether a sitting President can be indicted, what the criminal referrals mean, what he makes of the entire Mueller inquiry and what he wants to know about the origin of the counterintelligence operation.
