One of our favorite guests here on the Nicole Sandler Show is Lisa Graves. Not just because she’s one of the better angels among us, but she’s also wicked smart and has the CV to back up her beliefs.

These days Lisa Graves works as a governmental watchdog of sorts in her role as Director of True North Research. But she usually appears on my show in her personal capacity as a private citizen with great expertise on all matters pertaining to our Justice system and Dept of Justice, the Senate nominations and confirmation proceedings, and how things are supposed to work in and around Washington DC.

Today, we’ll get Lisa’s take on some late-breaking news that Matt Gaetz has pulled his name from consideration to be the next US Attorney General, though 180’s like that are often cause for even more alarm. What other rules has the dictator-elect broken and how many more norms has he shattered? Does she have any advice for those of us who feel as if we’re hanging on for dear life by a frayed thread?

Lisa Graves is one of the smartest people I know and she doesn’t sound an alarm without real justification.
Perhaps a group hug is what we need today. We’ll do that, virtually anyway…
