Part One: Matt Ford is a staff writer at The New Republic. He joins us to talk about the Mueller investigation, the Kavanaugh hearings, and the lingering bad odor of the Clarence Thomas hearings.

Part Two: Eight states have launched investigations into clerical abuse since the Pennsylvania report. With all the new stories of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and now the Supreme Court, we turn to Eric MacLeish, an attorney who represented hundreds of victims in the Boston area during the Catholic priest abuse scandal. More recently, he’s been representing victims of abuse at elite prep schools.
