Andy McCarthy on the Trump Administration's Strikes on Drug Boats

Andy McCarthy is a former federal prosecutor and contributing editor at National Review. We'll discuss his take on whether the Trump administration's strikes on drug boats (the first strikes and, as a separate question, the much-discussed "double-tap") are legal. I can imagine this story sticking around...and I can imagine it fading away. It all depends on whether Republicans care to continue digging into it. And as of yesterday that's looking somewhat in doubt: House panel plans to end its boat strike probe, GOP chair says - The Washington Post and ‘It's done’ — House Armed Services chair sees no need to further probe boat strike - Live Updates - POLITICO
