Andrew Torrez of the Opening Arguments podcast is here to talk trash about Donald Trump’s lawyers. He also talks about a dozen or so other topics including Pete Rose, Georgetown University, Corgis, and so much more. 

Patrons get this episode early AND get a special extended edition of the interview with Andrew (about half an hour of bonus material).

Don’t forget to vote for the winner of the Your Lawyer-Off!
