Andrew Miller – Opening Arguments

Today’s episode continues our breakdown of ex-Trump fixer Michael Cohen’s testimony before the House of Representatives and all the Yodel Mountain implications that stem from it that we started in Episode 257. What’s next? Listen and find out!

We begin where we left off — with Michael Cohen. Find out how Cohen’s testimony (and documents) implicate our favorite legal genius, Stormy Daniels!

After that, it’s time to check in on Roger Stone’s former flunky, Andrew Miller, and his quixotic quest to undo the Mueller investigation. That effort was just slapped down by the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and we’ve got the full opinion covered for you.

Then, it’s time to check in on an odd development in the sentencing saga of Paul Manafort. What does the government’s latest (redacted) filing portend? We’re not entirely sure… but we want you to know what we know.

And then — after all that! — we end with a brand new Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #116 regarding a rather odd traffic accident. As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!

Today’s Thanksgiving Special / Rapid Response episode takes a look at the single most important Yodel Mountain case pending right now: Andrew Miller’s lawsuit before the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Find out what it all means!

We begin, however, with a brief Andrew Was Right and roundup on the status of the Jim Acosta lawsuit, which has been mooted thanks to the injunctive relief won by CNN (and the White House’s decision to restore Acosta’s credentials).

Then, it’s time for the deep dive into Andrew Miller and his Don Quixote-esque foray into our legal system to challenge Robert Mueller’s authority. Along the way you’ll find out who Andrew’s Shattered Glass doppelganger is, and learn more than you ever thought possible about the U.S. Constitution’s “Appointments Clause.”

Finally, we end with an all new Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #102 on evidence and the admissibility of hearsay. Find out how Thomas outsources the decision and more. And, of course, if you’d like to play along with us, just retweet our episode on Twitter or share it on Facebook along with your guess and the #TTTBE hashtag. We’ll release the answer on next Tuesday’s episode along with our favorite entry!
