Some bad news on the first legal challenge to Trump's presidency.

Jan 28 2017
It looks like a weak argument, it looks too clever by half, and gives off the impression 'these guys will do anything to go after Trump' - and I think that can hurt lawyers who want to oppose Trump in the long run.

Attorney Brian Foley examines the first legal case filed against President Trump around his international business holdings, and finds little hope for its success despite its big name legal backers, then discusses the dangers of partisan allegiance when it comes to challenges of presidential power, and personal hatred towards Trump voters.

Brian is a lawyer practicing in Philadelphia, we also talk about his recent piece I Have A Scream for Counterpunch.
