Episode notes
Subpoena Power
- Democrats should aggressively pursue the full Mueller report by issuing subpoenas for Barr's and Mueller's testimonies.
- They must also subpoena the report itself and be prepared to fight any Department of Justice refusal in court.

- Democrats should prioritize obtaining the Mueller report before pivoting to other issues like healthcare.
- While healthcare is important, focusing on potential presidential misconduct is crucial for accountability and democratic principles.
