You might’ve seen Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina’s viral interview with Ari Melber, defending Donald Trump in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.
But before Tacopina was for Trump, he seemed to be against him, on CNN.
Time for a #MehdiMash.

Trump and his allies keep claiming that major Dem donor George Soros is behind Trump’s potential indictment in NYC. But Soros has never given money, or even talked to, the Manhattan DA investigating Trump. So what is this Soros name-dropping really about? @mehdirhasan explains.

As a Democratic senator from Alabama, Doug Jones voted in favor of a 2018 law to roll back regulations on U.S banks, a law that some say contributed to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank this month. @DougJones joins @Mehdirhasan to talk about his vote.

“Not much.”
That’s what legendary scholar and activist Noam Chomsky tells @mehdirhasan the U.S. learned from the Iraq War, remaining as outspoken on the atrocities of the conflict as he was two decades ago.

Why have architects of the Iraq War largely failed up? @PeterBeinart says it’s partly because “they’re very tied to the military industrial complex, and they tend to have a set of hawkish, American exceptionalist attitudes.”

In the 20 years since the U.S. invasion of Iraq, legendary anti-war activist Noam Chomsky tells @mehdirhasan, none of our leaders have acknowledged “the most elementary truth: it was the supreme international crime of aggression.”

A criminal indictment may be coming for Donald Trump... but this week, 20 years after the U.S. invaded Iraq, @mehdirhasan asks: Isn’t it finally time to hold George W. Bush accountable for the brutal war and lies he told?

20 years ago, the U.S. launched a brutal and illegal invasion of Iraq. So @mehdihasan asks, what happened to the “architects” responsible for that war? Professional ruin? Criminal charges?
Nah. Roll the tape!

“In principle, yes.”
Fmr. U.N. Chief Weapons Inspector Hans Blix tells @mehdirhasan both President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair should have faced an international war crimes court over their invasion of Iraq 20 years ago.
