Well... they pulled the trigger and indicted Trump. And it looks serious... or does it? Trump looks bad... but on the other hand, the indictment is always just the prosecutor's version of events. And it doesn't mention exculpatory facts or laws.
The broader context is the selective prosecution: Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden did the same or worse, and lots of people abuse classified info all the time, even former FBI director James Comey. The indictment fails the test of fairness.
We'll also talk about Trump's achievements, and we'll talk about much else besides -- reparations in San Francisco, Pride month controversies in sports, and the launch of Steve Hilton's new post-Fox News project in California.
Special guests:
Alan Dershowitz - civil libertarian, Harvard law scholar, former Trump lawyer
Barak Ravid - Axios correspondent in the Middle East, on Abraham Accords
Richie Greenberg - leader of San Francisco conservatives, on reparations
Steve Hilton - former Fox News host, on his California policy project
Dylan Gwinn - Breitbart News sports editor, on Pride month and the Dodgers

- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine
- The airstrike on the Venezuelan drug cartel

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.
One noteworthy passage concerns Amalek, the evil nation that attacked the Children of Israel as they made their Exodus from slavery to freedom. Deuteronomy 25:17-19 commands Jews to obliterate Amalek's memory.
The South African government accused Israel of genocide on the basis of a story about Amalek in the Book of Samuel, in which King Saul was commanded to wipe out the entire evil Amalekite nation.
Because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quoted this week's portion -- "Remember what Amalek did to you" (25:17), the South African government claimed he was commanding soldiers to commit genocide.
It was an absurd and malevolent misreading of the Bible and of Jewish tradition. The commandment, as observed by Jews today, is to remember the evil of Amalek and fight ...
