In the 43rd episode of The Law Is My Ass, Sid and Joe have a terrific conversation with former prosecutor Vernon Grigg III about the significance and implications of the indictments and plea deal that were unsealed this last Monday in the Robert Mueller investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. Along the way the answer the following questions on everybody's minds:
- Did the Ninth Circuit specifically schedule the oral argument in the current travel ban appeal just to mess with Sid's law school final exams? (Hint: signs point to yes)
- Has the Fourth Circuit decided to get in on that action yet? (Answer: finally, yes!)
- The Supreme Court heard oral argument in four cases last week - any of them interesting? (Hint: nah)
- Is the Notorious RGB retiring any time soon? (Hint: that'd be an emphatic "no")
- As between the lawyers and the city of Los Angeles, who wins? (Hint: starts with an "L" ends with an "S" . . .)
- Should I continue to buy Bosch tools and appliances? (Hint: Bosch is going to need all the revenue it can get)
- How's Trump's military transgender policy going? (Hint: enjoined)
- Are the charges against Manafort and Gates just cotton candy? (Hint: no)
- Should Jeff Sessions be concerned (Hint: hard to say, but he probably renewed his prescription for antacids last week)
- Is there more to come from Mueller? (Hint: sure looks that way)
- Does the POTUS have any mechanism to shit this whole thing down? (Hint: several, but no good ones)
