I really enjoyed this conversation. Sadly the parts about political violence and how we're all living under the threat of it feel even more relevant in light of today's news.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
