The hosts discuss the strategic use of "lying to the FBI" charges to eliminate political figures. Even if primary fraud charges fail, the process crime of making false statements often leads to conviction, as seen in the cases of General Flynn and Roger Stone. The indictment of Gillum and Hicks is viewed as a definitive "elimination" of a former rising star and his influential handler.
The conversation turns to the perceived two-tier justice system in America, comparing Cosby's "railroading" to the treatment of figures like Michael Flynn and Roger Stone. The hosts argue that violating the due process of a high-profile individual sets a dangerous precedent for all citizens. They compare the societal divide over the Cosby case to the O.J. Simpson trial, noting how such cases are used to ferment racial and social friction.
The discussion examines the origins of the birtherism conspiracy theory and its role in the political rivalry between Donald Trump and Barack Obama. While Roger Stone is credited with bringing the issue to the mainstream, the hosts claim the rumor actually originated within Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign. The segment explores how the media used the controversy for ratings and how it shaped the public perception of Trump among Black voters.
