Customer Reviews
A good team
Weissmann can be gushing and over-enthusiastic. McCord is more sober. Together they make an impressive team. They explain the cases’ intricacies well. Since both were senior federal prosecutors, they naturally emphasise the federal cases. This is a bit regrettable since, for now at least, the most interesting things seem to be happening in the Georgia state case. For analysis of the GA case I turn to The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell (which frequently features Weissmann as a guest). LOD is openly anti-Trump — the program makes no attempt to be balanced — but the insights, substantive and especially procedural, offered by the GA lawyers LOD regularly interviews are very helpful in understanding the case. One thing that is unexpectedly happening: the GA judge is emerging as something of a superstar, mature and and careful, but decisive and firm. Bravo — quite a contrast to the judge in the federal documents case.
