Are we barreling toward impeachment? It’s a whole new political world this week when we learned that the President of the United States admitted to using the powers of his office to target Joe Biden, his potential rival in Election 2020 and Biden’s son, by pressuring the Ukrainian government to fabricate a scandal. Top that with the revelation that a whistleblower had filed a complaint against the President Donald Trump. And then top that with the fact that the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, a seemingly reluctant warrior has announced there will be an official Impeachment Inquiry into Donald Trump. Joining me at my table on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show is my partner in politics, former White House Correspondent Matthew Cooper for an in-depth conversation.

Roll at the barrel, yes we are on the impeachment roll and where all of this lands nobody quite knows. We are barreling toward impeachment. Here’s some of what we know: We do know that according to the whistleblower, the White House tried to “lock down” records of the Trump Ukraine call, the transcripts released to the public incriminating, to say the least. It appears that the President of the United States Trump used the power of his office to solicit foreign interference in Election 2020 and that Trump’s new fixer and private attorney, Rudy Giuliani, met an adviser to the Ukraine president in August and that the Acting DNI Chief Joseph Maguire, a Trump appointee, appeared to play games with the release of the whistleblower’s statement.

As the barrel rolls, we are in a whole new territory. The players include President Trump, an unidentified whistleblower, the Acting DNI Chief Maguire, Attorney General Bill Barr, Rudy Giuliani, Speaker Pelosi, Rep. Adam Schiff, Vice President Mike Pence and we’re just beginning. Strap yourselves in and roll out the barrel, we’re in for a barrel of fun on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show podcast with Matthew Cooper!  

It’s Mueller Time. What about Bob? What about Attorney General Bill Barr? Trump after the Mueller report, collusion with Russia, obstruction of justice, no exoneration, sigh! Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show and our weekly political review with Halli and veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com and on all your favorite apps.

As always, Halli and Matt slice and dice the week’s political news. And what a week it has been. This week it’s Mueller time. Yep, finally America was able to get a look at the Mueller Report, sorta, a redacted version of what we’ve all been waiting for, for a very long time. Did Mueller do his job or was Donald Trump able to obstruct justice? Did Trump’s new Attorney General Barr serve the people as he is supposed to do, or is he acting as Trump’s personal counselor? Did the Russians hack our 2016 election? Was Mueller Time good news for Trump or bad news for Trump? A good day for the Dems or a bad day? What comes next? Impeachment? And then there’s Hillary Clinton. Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show and we’re just beginning.

Halli and Matt get into the weeds and offer up some surprises when they take to the airwaves. It’s Mueller Time, collusion, conspiracy, obstruction of justice. Attorney General Barr as Trump’s personal counselor. What comes next? Only Nancy and Chuck know for sure. What a conversation.

Jackie Speier, Congresswoman, and Halli’s partner in politics veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper join Halli on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.

In our first half-hour, Halli and Matt slice and dice the week’s political news. Joe Biden isn’t even in the race for the White House and he’s already facing head winds. Does the Democratic Party eat its own? Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders all took in quite a monetary haul, not so much Elizabeth Warren? Attorney General Bill Barr didn’t make the deadline demanded by the Democrats to submit the full Mueller Report to Congress. How ugly will the quest for the full document get? And about that Border “crisis” — that isn’t a crisis but is being called a crisis because Trump likes a crisis? And we’re just beginning, here we go.

In our second half-hour, Halli interviews Congresswoman Jackie Speier, the author of a new book UNDAUNTED:SURVIVING JONESTOWN, SUMMONING COURAGE, AND FIGHTING BACK. Jackie Speier is the U.S. Representative for California’s Fourteenth Congressional District. She is a recognized champion of women’s rights, personal privacy, and consumer safety—as well as an avowed opponent of government inefficiency and waste. In 2012, she was named to Newsweek’s list of 150 “Fearless Women” in the world. In November 2017, Congresswoman Speier co-authored the #MeTooCongress Act to overhaul how sexual harassment and assault are reported and mediated on Capitol Hill, and in 2018 she was named one of “Politico’s 50” for these efforts. Speier was first elected in 2008, her journey to the halls of Congress coming after she survived being left for dead during the Jonestown massacre while she was serving as a congressional legal adviser. A story of personal struggle—as a widow, a mother, and an outspoken victim of gun violence— and service, this is an interview you don’t want to miss.

Congresswoman Jackie Speier, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, the “crisis” on the border, the Mueller Report — Matthew Cooper and Halli have fun and bring you insightful political conversation on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.
