Topic: Russian Agents

Tulsi Gabbard has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Hillary Clinton after Clinton implied Gabbard was a "Russian asset." The lawsuit includes a specific "insurance policy" statement asserting that Gabbard is not contemplating suicide. The hosts discuss the legal nuances of libel and slander, noting that a person does not necessarily need to be named for a statement to be defamatory.

A comprehensive list of insults used against Donald Trump is compiled, ranging from "illegitimate president" and "Russian agent" to "mentally unfit" and "small hands." The hosts argue that the Democrats' lack of focus on a single narrative makes their opposition less effective.

Journalist John Heilemann suggested on MSNBC that Devin Nunes might be a "compromised" Russian agent. The hosts cite this as evidence of "Dimension B" becoming unhinged, while also warning "Dimension A" listeners not to believe extreme rumors, such as Trump reading the memo during the State of the Union.

Musician Moby claims in an interview with Pitchfork that active and former CIA agents approached him to spread information about Donald Trump being a "Russian agent." Moby asserts that the intelligence community is concerned about Trump being a "Manchurian candidate" involved with organized crime and Russian oligarchs. The hosts mock Moby's "low-ranked celebrity" status and his claims of having friends in the CIA.

Hillary Clinton introduced the term "weaponized tech" to describe the 2016 election environment, alleging that the opposition used content farms and fake news. Clinton claimed that 1,000 Russian agents coordinated with bots to influence Facebook users. The hosts criticize the lack of specific examples provided during the interview and the lack of pushback from the moderators.
