Trump Nuked the GOP’s Texas Plan for No Reason at All (w/ Sam Stein) | The Bulwark Podcast

Trump's use of his pardon power is downright crazy, and that's not even counting his rescue of a convicted drug kingpin. He's also sabotaging his own redistricting plans in Texas by pardoning Rep. Henry Cuellar, and wasting taxpayer money absolving a sports executive who was indicted by his own Justice Department earlier this year. Meanwhile, down in NOLA, two men with a Napoleon complex are unleashing misery of the psychic and economic kind on the city through its ICE and Border Patrol operation. Plus, someone needs to scour the immigration history of Phil Mickelson's family, and why is Tucker so obsessed with the gays? Sam Stein joins Tim Miller.
