On today's episode, writer and comedian Sarah Claspell joins us as we explore how little we actually know about Presidental Pardons and how much they inspire us to sing songs from Les Miserables and Hamilton. As the show goes off the rails, thankfully an adult joins us and puts us back on track. Asha Rangappa, the Associate Dean of admissions at the Yale School of Law and a former FBI agent, specializing in counter intelligence investigations in New York City, teaches us about the history of presidential pardons and how they have typically been used (until 45, anyway).
