Welcome to the midweek edition of Legal AF. We sit at the intersection of law and politics

so that you can listen to us and we'll catch you up. On today's episode, we have three stories

ripped from the headlines. One, we're going to talk about what Donald Trump is up to and secret

filings to stop the grand jury and Jack Smith from presenting evidence and testimony of his

former lawyers, including lawyers who have already testified before the grand jury. Sounds

like he's a day late and a dollar short once again, and we're going to explore it. Two, we

got to talk about the Tucker tapes because everybody else is, but we're going to do it from a slightly

different angle. We know that McCarthy, Speaker McCarthy, tried to throw a monkey wrench into the

in his day job, handling some of these trials, has already said no F and way. That's my artist

rendering. That's not actually what the judge said. He's not delaying anything. And when we go over

during our segment, the sheer volume of discovery data that has already gone to each Jan six defendant,

you'll see why they're likely to lose their efforts to try to pick through another 14,000 hours

of stuff, having nothing to do with them whatsoever. In our third story today, because we have to,

we have to continue to cover the world after the Dobbs decision, taking away a constitutional

right for a woman to choose the autonomy of her own body and her decision making about pregnancies.

Now we have to do it through the first lawsuit that's been filed by women as plaintiffs,
