Judge Juan Merchan narrows the gag order on Donald Trump; Alex Jones' bankruptcy trustee considers liquidating InfoWars; a red-eyed Justin Timerblake is arrested in the Hamptons
I’m a simple man, I see Jacob Wohl in the show notes and I get excited to see if he’s finally made it big and gotten himself that big boy federal indictment!
Idea: the LAPD should poach this eager beaver traffic enforcer, post him somewhere smack dab in the center of all the major film studios, just for him to stone cold not recognize any of the famous people he pulls over. government funded ego deflation.
In Australia the news about Julian Assange was credited in large part to the pm. There was a good deal of lobbying going on, and he did raise the case with Biden directly at one point.
Dunno how significant that was to the US's decision making, but people at least like the idea that the pm will argue for an Australian directly.
I’d be willing to bet that had a lot to do with it, honestly.
I think Assange belongs in prison, because a real journalist has ethical boundaries that would at least lead them to make some effort to protect the little people referenced in leaked intelligence that their host countries may decide need to “disappear.”
That said, if I’m in Biden’s shoes, a close ally is asking me to drop it, and the damage is already done anyway… screw it, I’m taking that deal. No reason to piss off your friends for no gain.
pre Justin TL - The Hailey ID local cop was much praised back in the day for pulling over Sylvester Stallone for speeding and answering "No." when asked "Do you know who I am." Story came from the guy who had to work on rights of way with Celine Dione (did not make her look much better than the landowner who just held his helpful rifle on my friend during the meeting). Idaho. Can't live there, might get arrested for being a librarian there.
Josh mentioned that the Sag Harbor cop is very attractive - looking at a picture, I can't help but notice a resemblance to a certain podcast host: https://imgur.com/a/5uZG8Ur
One of the odd ways fifth amendment law gets weird: You can't be forced to give the password to unlock your iphone, but you can be forced to provide a fingerprint to unlock your iphone.
That's not quite true. At least in some jurisdictions you can be forced to reveal your password and Orin Kerr seems to believe that view is correct and will win.

Where do I sign up for a ball gag?
Especially if it says "Serious Trouble" on it. And all-natural Estoppel Brain Pills would be pretty good too.
A ball gag with "estopped" on it wouldn't be bad either,
Aww, that's what I came here to say.

How do you spell that legal doctrine Ken mentioned? The Kia rhumba thing?
I think we've found Josh's niche. Where Ken goes off on rants about court stuff and judges, Josh bashes straight people nonsense like the Hamptons.
I think he has a pretty good niche already, emceeing interesting discussions about law and current events. That joke was great though.

"Idiots on Tap" is my new band name.
What is that latin phrase that Ken mentions (at 15:06), that he translates as "because fuck that guy"?
This episode seemed gayer than normal, which I guess is totally appropriate. Happy pride month!

Hamptons
Loved Josh’s rant about the Hampton. “that only straight people would do.”
What a dark day it will be if the Senate twink ever makes you withdraw his Senate Twink Memorial Award for Belatedly Good Judgment.

Let me know which ones so I can try to avoid them. I don't have anything to hide, but I don't think I should have to open my phone for them.
As I explain to my niece, I don’t think I’ve broken any serious laws, but I like to keep my options open.
