The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 438 of the In The Tank Podcast. Every so often, the public gets a little more information about the role the intelligence community played in undermining Donald Trump at every turn. This week, we are going to attempt to organize as much of this information as possible to provide a sort of abridged history of the Trump vs. The Deep State saga. From spying on the campaign to the Mueller Report, we have a lot to cover.
