Opening Arguments

OA166: The Taint Team (& Also, Alex Jones)


Listen Later

In this rapid-response episode, Thomas and Andrew take a look at the attorney-client privilege issues relating to the FBI's search of the offices of Michael Cohen, alleged lawyer to Donald Trump and... Sean Hannity?!? First, we begin with a finishing move from one of our pro wrestler listeners, updating our story that we first covered in Episode 163.  (Is it the Million Dollar Dream?  Listen and find out!) In the main segment, we break down all that happened (and all that's yet to come!) in the ongoing legal case against Michael Cohen we first discussed in Episode 164.  How strong is Cohen's argument that he's entitled to protect the privilege of his legal clients? After that, we take a  look at three lawsuits against Alex Jones and InfoWars and start the discussion about what to do about blatantly false, politically-motivated conspiracy theories.  Are defamation lawsuits the answer? Finally, we end with an all-new TTTBE #72 about real property law.  If you've ever thought about playing along, just retweet our episode on Twitter or share it on Facebook along with your guess.  We'll release the answer on next Tuesday's episode along with our favorite entry! Recent Appearances None!  If you'd like to have either of us as a guest on your show, drop us an email at [email protected]. Show Notes & Links
  1. We first discussed the search of Cohen's offices in Episode 164.  You can read Michael Cohen's Motion for TRO, which was denied on Monday April 15, as well as his revised request for a special master, which remains pending.
  2. This is the Gilmore Complaint filed and Alex Jones, and here is a New York Times story on the other two defamation complaints filed by parents of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.
