Lawyer guest says clients sometimes pay for courtroom "smoke and mirrors"

What was said

"The truth has a way of coming out. Sometimes despite my best efforts. Like people pay me a lot of money to go in sometimes to just throw up smoke and mirrors and red herrings, and there's only so much I can do cuz the facts have a way of coming out."

An unnamed lawyer guest says they do not always believe their clients but do believe in the legal system’s rules, including the presumption of innocence and burdens of proof. The guest says some clients pay for “smoke and mirrors and red herrings”, but argues the facts often come out anyway and says they do not feel guilty about zealous advocacy within the law.
