Politicon
About this episode
The #SistersInLaw convene to discuss how important it is to depoliticize the 1/6 commission, before taking a look at the Tom Barrack indictment and the ways that we can deal with the pernicious influence of malicious foreign actors on our democracy.  Then, they look at the ways that President Biden’s Department of Justice is changing the way it handles the press and its communications with the White House.

Recent Articles From The #Sisters:

Barb McQuade on the Justice Department’s new policy on the press.
