Mueller Warned Congress. Trump Celebrated His Death.

Trump’s reaction to Robert Mueller’s death was grotesque. But the deeper question is what Congress failed to do when Mueller was alive: why didn’t it impeach Trump based on the Mueller report? Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang revisit Mueller’s findings, the Nixon parallel, and the constitutional failure that still shapes Trump’s presidency. Then: a major Supreme Court voting-rights case out of Mississippi, ICE at airports as a new front in Trump’s immigration crackdown, and a federal judge’s ruling against Pentagon restrictions on defense reporters. Plus, a listener from the U.K. asks a question many Americans are asking too: could Trump really defy the Constitution and try for a third term? This week’s episode connects the week’s biggest legal and political stories into one urgent question: how many constitutional guardrails are still holding?
