Rep. Herod brought an entourage who were then welcomed into Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge.Past guests (and friends of show) Cole Wist and Mario Nicolais came to support their mayoral choice. Afterward, they stick around for a lively discussion about what makes Leslie Herod special.
Cole Wist was a rising Republican legislator several years ago until he refused to go along with MAGA. Wist is a proven person of principle who detests bigotry and incompetence.
The same could be said of Colorado Sun columnist Mario Nicolais who’d still be a Republican but for Donald Trump’s malign takeover. These two lawyers respect the rule of law and are not part of any far left. They see rare qualities in Rep. Herod.
Mario Nicolais is entertaining as he also discusses attorney Jenna Ellis, who just got censured by the Colorado Supreme Court for her part in Donald Trump‘s big election lie. Was the penalty too slight or just right? Listen to these lawyer/columnists discuss.
Troubadour Dave Gunders joins in on the Jenna Ellis discussion and other current events. Dave also brings us his beautiful song, Come Down, Miss Lizzie, which tells the story of a different kind of love back in 1799. Upcoming NYC prosecution of 45 also batted around.
