Your Guide to the Congressional Investigations (Opening Arguments podcast OA259)
Today’s extra-long episode contains your guide to the Congressional Investigations, and specifically the 81 document requests sent out by Rep. Jerry Nadler to various Trump-related individuals and entities in connection with the Democratic Congress’s larger investigation into corruption, ties with Russia, and general criminal behavior by the administration. What does it all mean? Who are the key players? Listen and find out!
We begin, however, with a brief Andrew Was Right — Michael Cohen is producing drafts of his Congressional testimony, which may support his claim that Trump’s personal lawyer, Jay “ACLJ” Sekulow edited his testimony to suborn perjury.
Then, it’s time for an in-depth look at the various documents requested by Rep. Nadler. What does it all mean? We break down the four major “buckets” of inquiries and tell you about some familiar faces… and some surprising new ones.
After that, it’s time to take a look into recent developments in the Jeffrey Epstein case and correct some reporting as to whether his non-prosecution agreement has really been torn up by the courts. (It hasn’t.)
We end, as always, with a brand new Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #117 about the use of university space for a debate on affirmative action. As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!

Legal analyst Jeff Toobin destroys Trump lawyer’s claim that no crime was committed
Former federal prosecutor and senior CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has a new in-depth feature in the December 11th edition of The New Yorker examining the legal implications of former Donald Trump associate Mike Flynn’s guilty plea. Toobin reports that Jay Sekulow, President Donald Trump’s defense attorney, is unconcerned about the possibility of charges based on illegal foreign campaign contributions or aiding and abetting the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta.
“I’m not concerned about these bizarre theories,” Sekulow told Toobin. “There is no basis for saying, under the law or the facts, that any of this behavior during the campaign was criminal.”
Other experts disagree with Sekulow’s conclusion.....
