It may have been the biggest investigative scoop of this year's election.

This week, the Daily Beast reported that Herschel Walker, the Republican candidate for the

the story, we've got John Ward, our own Yahoo News political analyst who's been covering

events in Georgia, and then we've got Dahlia Lithwick of Slade to talk about our new book

and the law.

So, we're going to spare you our usual blather of a crosstalk and get right to what is
