The Pros & Cons of Charging Trump With a Crime, from U.S. News & World Report's SUSAN MILLIGAN.

Former President Donald Trump has now been indicted FOUR TIMES for allegedly breaking the law, but every indictment makes him EVEN STRONGER with his political base and in the polls. Should we prosecute him for these offenses? Or should we invoke the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and get him out of politics? Shouldn't we just make sure that he can never run for public office ever again? U.S. News & World Report's SUSAN MILLIGAN and I will debate and discuss the issues. Tune in for this important discussion!

Shadow Politics

Shadow Politics is a grass roots talk show giving a voice to the voiceless. For more than 200 years the people of the Nation's Capital have ironically been excluded from the national political conversation. With no voting member of either house of Congress, Washingtonians have lacked the representation they need to be equal and to have their voices heard. Shadow Politics will provide a platform for them, as well as the millions of others nationwide who feel politically disenfranchised and disconnected, to be included in a national dialog.

We need to start a new conversation in America, one that is more inclusive and diverse and one that will lead our great nation forward to meet the challenges of the 21st century. At Shadow Politics, we hope to get this conversation started by bringing Americans together to talk about issues important to them. We look forward to having you be part of the discussion so call in and join the conversation. America is calling and we're listening… Shadow Politics is about America hearing what you have to say. It's your chance to talk to an elected official who has spent more than 30 years in Washington politics. We believe that if we start a dialog and others add their voices we will create a chorus. Even if those other politicians in Washington don't hear you — Senator Brown will. He's on a mission to listen to what America has to say and use it to start a productive dialog to make our democracy stronger and more inclusive. If we are all part of the solution we can solve any problem.
