The Watchdogs Exposing Trump’s Corruption Machine | The Revolution | Lisa Graves,True North Research

Michael Fanone and Maya May are joined by Lisa Graves of True North Research for a powerful conversation about the watchdogs exposing Trump’s corruption machine. From the attempted taxpayer payout to January 6 rioters to dark money, DOJ capture, Citizens United, and the Supreme Court’s role in shielding Trump’s power, they break down how the system is being bent to protect the people who attacked democracy. Lisa Graves explains why the so-called Jan. 6 slush fund may not really be dead, how hidden DOJ settlements could still funnel public money to Trump’s allies, and why Americans must keep demanding accountability before the corruption becomes normalized. 00:00:01 Trump’s Jan 6 payout excuse 00:04:25 Lisa Graves joins 00:05:05 Roberts Court, pardons and dark money 00:08:21 The 1.776 billion dollar slush fund 00:13:23 Fear of emboldened political violence 00:17:24 What people can do now 00:20:08 Trump crime family and hopelessness 00:23:21 What happened with the National Guard on Jan 6 00:28:34 Paying rioters while Americans struggle 00:32:32 Hawaii takes aim at Citizens United 00:36:12 Lisa Graves on hope and accountability 00:38:22 Global far right and remigration politics 00:41:35 Portugal strikes and protest repression 00:43:36 Police, private prisons and the state 00:48:00 Why solidarity has to come before crisis 00:51:20 Billionaires, escape plans and corruption 00:54:05 The Revolution and state violence 00:56:19 Lawlessness spreading through the culture 01:00:14 Doing the work when hope is low 01:02:37 Outro
