American politics has become a minefield of “gotcha ”.
The media do it to politicians, politicians do it to each other, even the media do it to each other.
And it’s eroding our entire system, says one man who was once a participant.
More below video:
Washington DC attorney Lanny Davis was formerly special counsel to President Bill Clinton, but has also represented other politicians, billionaires, and a wide range of other clients.
In 2006 Davis wrote a book that he called Scandal: How Gotcha Politics Is Destroying America.
He and I sat down for a conversation about the book in his k Street office in August of 2006.
So here now, from 2006, Lanny Davis.
Lanny Davis is 79 now.
