THE OFFICIAL MEA CULPA WITH MICHAEL COHEN ARCHIVE

Mea Cupla is honored to welcome back our friend, Norm Eisen. There’s pretty much nothing going on in politics today that he doesn’t have an opinion about. His latest book, "Overcoming Trumpery” is a great read, especially as we gear up for the midterms and watch Republican candidates try to mimic Trumpian tactics to get elected. Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst. And the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center”, a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. Eisen served as special counsel to President Barack Obama on ethics and government reform. In that role, he was dubbed “Mr. No” and the “Ethics Czar” because he's well known for his tough anti-corruption approach to governance. Eisen is also active with the Brookings Institute and other groups working to expose the myriad of ways Trump and his cronies broke the law and attempted to overturn the 2020 election. From exposing Trump’s potential crimes in Georgia — to suing the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, Eisen is a witness to history. So, let’s go now to my conversation with Norm Eisen. Micheal and Norm dig heavily into the newly released Justice Department's heavily redacted Mar-a-Lago affidavit.

Mea Culpa welcomes the former Oath Keeper who testified before the January 6th Committee, Jason Van Tatenhove. A one-time tattoo shop owner, Van Tatenhove studied fine art in college and as a journalist, in 2014, he embedded with the Oath Keepers while following the story of Cliven Bundy and the rancher’s standoff with law enforcement. Later, Jason went on to become the Oath Keepers National Media Director. But after being silenced by the Oath Keepers leader, Stewart Rhodes, for his support of same-sex marriage, Van Tatenhove distanced himself from the group. He did not attend or support the January 6th Insurrection, but he did the country a great service when he testified to the committee. Helping us all understand more about the inner-workings of extremist para-military groups like the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys. Michael and Jason talk about what Jason believes is coming for democracy and what it's like to work for egomaniacs.

Mea Culpa welcomes back David Corn, the veteran Washington journalist, Bureau Chief Mother of Jones, and an on-air analyst for MSNBC.
