This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan talk about a number of developments in the Trump-Russia world, including Trump's attempt to fire Mueller last year, the Dutch hacking the Russians, McCabe's retirement, Trump not agreeing to an interview, Gates possibly flipping, and more. Then on the eve of Release The Memo Day, a discussion of the expectations for the memo, the objections being raised, and the possible implications. Oh, and it is Ivan's birthday. Happy birthday Ivan!
