Episode 5: Shut It Down
Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra
Introduction
Washington Post reporter Dillard Stokes followed a truck carrying heavy bags through downtown DC on Friday morning. He watched as the guys in the truck unloaded about half of those big bags into part of the Capitol complex that houses offices for members of Congress. Then he watched as the truck left there and it moved on to a second location just down the street from the Capitol. That was at the Washington DC headquarters of the America First Committee. The story will get him denounced by powerful politicians on the floor of Congress, threatened with arrest even if they're employing him. And what are you going to do? They were really trying to blow up a huge scandal or something much worse.
