“Sirota returns to his roots as an investigative reporter and uncovers kind of what we all know - the plot to legalize corruption, half a century in the making. It’s a fascinating lesson, a ton of major linchpins in their plan, and you learn the calculus the Master Planners take, the opportunities they seize. My favorite episode is #6 on John McCain, whose politics I hate, but I always respected his imprisonment in Vietnam. I learned the major risks he took fighting Rs and Ds in Congress. The balls on him.
It’s the most important story in a generation, probably more. Fingers crossed this reporting will bring down some of the titans of corruption. The Lever’s newsroom is one of the handful of actual reporters left. The only other one I follow is Democracy Now.”
