Description: P.G. Sittenfeld was on his way to becoming mayor of Cincinnati when the FBI built a fake world around him...fake investors, a rented penthouse, undercover agents posing as wealthy developers ... and spent an estimated $2–5 million in taxpayer money to investigate $40,000 in legally reported campaign donations. He said on tape it couldn’t be a quid pro quo. That line ended up in his indictment. He was convicted, sentenced to prison, pardoned by President Trump, and this week won a unanimous Supreme Court victory. A story about what happens when the government decides to come after you ... and what it takes to survive it.This episode is made possible with the support of our sponsors.
