OA462: Rittenhouse Team Commits Perjury; DC Statehood and Impeachment!
This is a jam-packed, extra-length show that covers as many of the pressing stories in the news that we could cover!
We begin with the breaking news that Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyers perjured themselves by filing a fraudulent address in defiance of a court order; we tell you why that's bad and what's next for the domestic terrorist.
After that, it's time for a lengthy breakdown of the DC Statehood Bill, including a discussion of the potential future legal challenges (and solutions!) as well as the timing for when we can expect 2 new Senators to be seated!
Then, it's time to break down former President Trump's (laughably bad) response to the Article of Impeachment. Phew!
