Today I'm rejoined by the journalist and author Douglas Valentine (@DouglasValentine77) to finish our discussion about the Harrelson investigation. In this episode, he explains the nature of politically protected drug trafficking, the Dixie Mafia, and how and why Charles Harrelson killed a federal judge.
Valentine explains what he found in his investigation, the nature of the material evidence which got Charles Harrelson a new trial, how Sheehan botched the case, and how Woody undermined it himself on top of that. Further, Valentine explains how we are living in an illusory reality with regards to political realities.
