Opening Arguments - OA168: Michael Cohen Takes Five
In the main segment, we discuss the intersection between the Paul Manafort criminal trial and the public's right to know about the Mueller investigation. Oh, and ... isn't there a bill pending to protect Mueller? We break down that, too. But we're not done! After that we delve into all things Michael Cohen, including his efforts to stay the California civil suit and his less-than-likely efforts to stay out of criminal trouble in New York. If you love Stormy Daniels -- and who doesn't? -- you won't want to miss it. Finally, we end with an all new Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #73 about landlord-tenant-friend relationships. If you'd like to play 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!
