OA149: Russian Indictments & Utah Silence (feat. Bryce Blankenagel)

Today's emergency episode breaks down the indictments issued in the Mueller probe on Friday, focusing on the shadowy, Putin-funded <a href= "http://openargs.com/wp-content/uploads/internet_research_agency_indictment.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internet Research Agency</a>.  What does this mean in terms of Yodel Mountain?  Listen and find out! After that, we have a lengthy interview with friend of the show Bryce Blankenagel of the <a href= "http://www.nakedmormonismpodcast.com/index.html">Naked Mormonism podcast</a>.  Bryce comes on the show to break down the Rob Porter scandal, an innocuous-sounding bill before the Utah state legislature, and the puppet-mastery of the Mormon Church of all things political in that state. After that, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #63, another very difficult question, this one about hearsay.  Don't forget to follow our Twitter feed (<a href= "https://twitter.com/openargs">@Openargs</a>) and like our <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/openargs/">Facebook Page</a> so that you too can play along with #TTTBE! <span style= "text-decoration: underline">Recent Appearances</span> Check out the NEW PODCAST created by our very own Thomas Smith and friend-of-the-show Aaron Rabi, "<a href= "https://www.patreon.com/0G">Philosophers in Space</a>."  You'll be glad you did!
