Recent an admirer of Mr Mystal. When seen on TV-mostly on MSNBC; I'm spellbound by his knowledge, passion, wit and humor and feel he should be more visible on all networks. I'm looking forward to my subscription.
I'm now watching Ari Melber hosting, with a panel that includes Eli Mystal. It's refreshing to hear laser sharp wit, wisdom and directly speaking Truth regarding the president and the DOJ redacted Mueller report release. Yes, more of Mr. Mystal!
