Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    If we've going to have this thing where everyone has a (formerly esteemed) lawyer play their flack on cable news, in addition to their actual lawyer, the lawyer-as-flack should be around 40, and not over 70?

        I don't mean to be ageist about Mssrs Giuliani, Dershowitz, or Davis. But if someone who couldn't easily be dismissed as senile made the batshit claims they do, the argument would be different.

        but I like the whole cadaverous "night of the living lawyer" vibe.

        Very true, but it might be tough to get esteemed and then formerly esteemed by 40.

        70 year-olds shouldn't be handling real litigation. And 40 year-olds don't want to end their career.

        I think Lanny acquits himself well enough. Considering the job he has to do. (56 here. Maybe defensive.)

        Guessing it's only the 70 and 80 year olds who are enthusiastic about ending their legal career by becoming a TV clown.
