On this edition of Political Rewind, drama over the possible government shutdown has played out in Washington all this week.

Where do Georgia's members of Congress stand on the president’s demand for money to pay for his wall in return for keep government open? And if there is a shutdown, what happens to the relief money for rural Georgians hit hard by hurricane Michael?

Some say it’s far too little much too late: the U.S. Senate this week, passes a measure making lynching a federal crime? The vote reminds us that Georgia is near the top of the list for the number of lynchings during a dark period of our past.

Plus, former GOP gubernatorial candidate Michael Williams is indicted for insurance fraud. The response from his spokesman is right out of the Trump playbook. 

And we have details after the Kemp team announces its plans for the inauguration.
