## Resource

Convicted Felon Donald Trump has had a litany of personal lawyers who have chosen loyalty to one man over what their oaths of office have required of them. Most recently, Acting AG Todd Blanche lost his cool when Sen. Chris Van Hollen called him out on this. Legal scholar, professor, and author Barbara McQuade joins Katie Phang to talk about her new book, The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government, and how bad actors seize power that belongs to the people.
