Episode notes

Today, Hunter is joined by former whistleblower Brittany Iriart and Civil Rights Attorney Andy McNulty to discuss a scandalous coverup with the Denver Sheriffs Department. When she moved to a civilian oversight position with the Denver Sheriff, Brittany hoped to bring some much needed accountability to a department with a history of burying misconduct. Unfortunately, the incremental changes around the edges did little to reign in a department that viewed itself above the law.

Guests:

Brittany Iriart, Former Whistle Blower, Colorado

Andy McNulty, Civil Rights Attorney, Newman McNulty, Denver, Colorado
