In an unexpectedly-long episode this week, we talk about a Trump judicial nominee getting embarrassed by a Republican Senator, several cases with bodycam and security footage confirming the First Rule of Fsck, and two unusual stories about fake police officers – both with ties to North Carolina. We also talk with special guest Kahran Myers about politics, and for our #Law140 we do a high-level overview of attorney-client privilege.
