741: Bad Optics

Loretta Lynch, Dylann Roof Indictment, Hate Crime Statutes

Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced a 33-count federal indictment against Dylann Roof for the shooting at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. The hosts critique Lynch's "novel-like" press conference, which detailed Roof's alleged motivations and use of hollow-point bullets. They suggest the federal hate crime charges are a move to override state authority, as South Carolina lacks its own hate crime statute. The show concludes with a musical mix.
