OA619: OK, Alex Jones's Lawyers REALLY Don't Know WTF They're Doing

This is... wow. Just wow. Jones's lawyers accidentally handed over his entire cell phone and didn't remedy it when they could have. Just staggering. Get Andrew's full breakdown of this glorious happening. Also, GOOD NEWS FROM KANSAS! The people of Kansas did a good thing. And Pat Cipollone was subpoenaed by the Justice Dept! All in all just a really good news episode. Links: <a href="https://www.kscourts.org/KSCourts/media/KsCourts/Opinions/114153.pdf?ext=.pdf"> Hodes &amp; Nauser v.
