Hillary’s Story
\nThe island chain of Hawaii was ruled by the Kingdom of Hawaii beginning in 1795, but in 1893, the United States unlawfully invaded the island leading to an overthrow of the Hawaiian government.

\n\n

Tina’s Story
\nBuddy Cianci served as the longest serving mayor of Providence, Rhode Island from 1975-1984, and again from 1991-2002. But, when the FBI gets wind of a possible corruption scandal, Buddy may have been too buddy buddy with local scoundrels and found himself in the muck.

Hillary and Tina cover Roe vs. Wade and the history of abortion in America.

\n\n

Hillary’s Story
\nThroughout the early history of America, abortion was permitted. BUT when women began to seek more rights, more restriction on abortion gets enacted.

\n\n

Tina’s Story
\nRoe vs. Wade made a woman’s right to choose a private issue and ensured safe access to abortion. BUT despite that republican law makers have fought to restrict abortion access in America.

\nThe Office of Alien Property Custodian began with the purpose of holding property belonging to enemies of the United States. BUT things go too far when bribes are exchanged for patents and other goods.

\n\n

Tina’s Story
\nMelissa Lucio lost her daughter in 2007 after a tragic accident. BUT despite no evidence to the contrary, the State of Texas sentenced her to death for a murder that never happened.

Hillary and Tina cover Idaho House Representative, Priscilla Giddings and former foreign service member and federal official Bradford Bishop.

\n\n

Hillary’s Story
\nPriscilla Giddings spent most of her career serving in the US Air Force and was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 2021. BUT, after winning a seat in the Idaho House of Representatives that same year, this decorated officer gets dressed down for her outrageous and dishonorable actions while in office.

\n\n

Tina’s Story
\nUnited States foreign service member and federal official Bradford Bishop was known for his industrious and cooperative attitude. BUT, when no one hears from his family in over a week, police discover a destructive side to the diplomat.

Hillary's Story
\nDan White’s reputation as a local hero and all American guy helped earn him a seat to San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors. But, as he struggled to make ends meet on a public servant’s salary and grew more and more dissatisfied with what he believed to be corrupt politicians, he made a fateful decision that broke hearts throughout San Francisco and the nation.

\n\n

Tina's Story
\nThroughout Little Rock, Say McIntosh was known for his vocal critique of local and state politicians, but, when Say lightens up on his usual attacks during Clinton’s presidential campaign, rumors swirl about what may have led to his change of pace.
