Today's edition of GPB's "Political Rewind" focused on President Donald Trump's charge that Obama's national security adviser committed a crime in "unmasking" Trump campaigners and their conversations with Russians – but also wanders to the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech condemning the Vietnam War.

Today’s panelists: Host Bill Nigut; Andra Gillespie, the Emory University political scientist; and former Georgia congressman Buddy Darden.
