After an update on the news of the day, Nicole Sandler turns to an old friend for some answers.

Lisa Graves was Chief Counsel for Nominations on the US Senate Judiciary Committee under Sen. Leahy, and served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Clinton administration. She’s currently co-founder at Documented Investigations. I couldn’t think of anyone better to take us back to school and explain our system of checks and balances, and what the Democrats can do about this administration’s refusal to abide by the rule of law.
