OA386: The Opening Arguments Amicus Brief!

May 15, 2020
01:21:57

Today's episode marks a milestone for the show: we're going to file an amicus curiae brief in the Michael Flynn case. Find out exactly how & why we're doing this!

We begin, however, with a brief update in the various emoluments cases, including an update on the two orders released this morning by the 4th Circuit en banc.

After that it's time to dig into all the developments in the Flynn litigation that will lead to the filing of Opening Arguments' first amicus brief!

Then, it's time for #T3BE, featuring next week's guest, Andrew Seidel!
