The Trump administration attempts to preemptively interfere with the midterms. The Comeys are back in the news and a federal judge channels Dr. Seuss and enrages Trump.
In this episode:
Mary and Andrew examine the “extraordinary efforts of the federal government to preemptively interfere with the midterm elections,” starting with the Ninth Circuit’s ruling against DOJ’s attempt to block more than 20,000 alleged noncitizen votes. Mary and Andrew call the suit “outrageous.”
The DOJ filed what Mary calls a “frivolous” lawsuit to block the certification of the Senate race in Alaska if the Republican candidate on the ballot, Dan Sullivan, loses, noting potential confusion with the independent candidate of the same name. Put simply, Andrew says, “That’s not the way it works.”
They talk about “a tale of two Comeys”: James Comey is charged for the third time while a judge rules that his daughter, Maurene Comey, was unlawfully fired by the Trump administration dealing a significant blow to Trump and his DOJ.
Trump gets mocked by a judge blocking him from cutting down trees at an iconic public golf course in Washington, D.C. The judge saying “I am not the Lorax. I do not speak for the trees. I am a judge.”

Even though election attorney Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket, is confident that the lawsuit filed by Donald Trump’s Justice Department against the state of Alaska over anything other than a Republican Senate victory will fail on the legal merits, that doesn’t make the lawsuit any less alarming and important. Elias explains to Jen Psaki what Trump is really up to.

A New York state court has blocked Texas prosecutors from filing legal action against a New York doctor who prescribed and sent abortion pills to a woman in Texas. The Ulster Country clerk of court refused to recognize Texas’ filing and cited New York’s abortion shield laws as protecting the New York-based doctor from legal action for providing abortion care. This is likely to set up a legal battle, bringing this issue to a federal court to decide which state’s laws count, how and when. MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin breaks it down.

How five members of Joe Biden’s family got rich through his connections
Joe Biden’s younger brother, James, has been an integral part of the family political machine from the earliest days when he served as finance chair of Joe’s 1972 Senate campaign, and the two have remained quite close. After Joe joined the US Senate, he would bring his brother James along on congressional delegation trips to places like Ireland, Rome and Africa.
When Joe became vice president, James was a welcomed guest at the White House, securing invitations to such important functions as a state dinner in 2011 and the visit of Pope Francis in 2015. Sometimes, James’ White House visits dovetailed with his overseas business dealings, and his commercial opportunities flourished during his brother’s tenure as vice president.
Consider the case of HillStone International, a subsidiary of the huge construction management firm Hill International. The president of HillStone International was Kevin Justice, who grew up in Delaware and was a longtime Biden family friend. On Nov. 4, 2010, according to White House visitors’ logs, Justice visited the White House and met with Biden adviser Michele Smith in the Office of the Vice President.
Less than three weeks later, HillStone announced that James Biden would be joining the firm as an executive vice president. James appeared to have little or no background in housing construction, but that did not seem to matter to HillStone. His bio on the company’s website noted his “40 years of experience dealing with principals in business, political, legal and financial circles across the nation and internationally…”
James Biden was joining HillStone just as the firm was starting negotiations to win a massive contract in war-torn Iraq. Six months later, the firm announced a contract to build 100,000 homes. It was part of a $35 billion, 500,000-unit project deal won by TRAC Development, a South Korean company. HillStone also received a $22 million US federal government contract to manage a construction project for the State Department.
David Richter, son of the parent company’s founder, was not shy in explaining HillStone’s success in securing government contracts. It really helps, he told investors at a private meeting, to have “the brother of the vice president as a partner,” according to someone who was there.
The Iraq project was massive, perhaps the single most lucrative project for the firm ever. In 2012, Charlie Gasparino of Fox Business reported that HillStone officials expected the project to “generate $1.5 billion in revenues over the next three years.” That amounted to more than three times the revenue the company produced in 2011.
A group of minority partners, including James Biden, stood to split about $735 million. “There’s plenty of money for everyone if this project goes through,” said one company official.
The deal was all set, but HillStone made a crucial error. In 2013, the firm was forced to back out of the contract because of a series of problems, including a lack of experience by Hill and TRAC Development, its South Korean associate firm. But HillStone continued doing significant contract work in the embattled country, including a six-year contract with the US Army Corps of Engineers.
James Biden remained with Hill International, which accumulated contracts from the federal government for dozens of projects, including projects in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mozambique and elsewhere.

Everyone is saying how important it is to vote in November – and it is – but what to do about the Electoral College? That archaic has no purpose in modern politics – get rid of them if you truly want a fair vote come November. Mind you, I am still hoping that there are some ethical GOP senators that will vote Trump out of office for the love of the country.
