It was More than Just an Insurrection (American Issues Take Two)
Was 2020 a Replay of Putin’s Help in 2016. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella.
We know Putin helped Trump distract his way out of the Access Hollywood debacle in the 2016 election. In The Road to Unfreedom, Yale historian Tim Snyder detailed the things Putin did to help Trump win the 2016 election, including inappropriate connections with Flynn, Manafort, Stone, Juliani and other Trump officials and acolytes, news and political distractions, hacking and social media misinformation.
Our panel examines the degree to which Putin and Trump used the same playbook in the 2020 election in delaying, derailing or distracting investigations and indictments in the Mueller investigation, the two impeachments, the Jan 6 insurrection, the theft of government documents and the various other civil and criminal claims made against him, and how they may be using that playbook now in the 2022 elections.
