Bill Maher Goes Apesh*t on Donald Trump's Lawyer

The legal system in this country, it’s not a joke. It’s not a toy for rich idiots to play with.

(Maher dedicated an entire segment of his show on Friday night to dissect this absurd lawsuit, and he made some pretty great jokes about Trump’s lawyer from Cooley LLP. Let’s check it out, after the jump.)

Whoever said “any publicity is good publicity” must not have witnessed a lawyer’s name being dragged through the mud for the benefit of a lawsuit-happy client like the Donald. Take a look at the clip to see more:
