Description

With Leon Neyfakh of The 'Slow Burn' Podcast, now in its Season 2,  (make sure to subscribe) we take a look at Presidential scandals and investigations including Watergate, Whitewater, the Travel Office snafu during the Clinton administration and others.  We learn about a Congressman who tried to investigate Watergate too early, and we discuss the Clinton Impeachment 20 years later.  Are there connections between the Nixon and Clinton misdeeds, and similarities to today's politics.  Do supporters care about investigations?  How would Clinton fare with the Me Too Movement today?  Give a listen.  Music by Lee Rosevere in this cast.
