About this episode
The #SistersInLaw meet this week to lament the recent tragedy in Highland Park and look at how gun laws and an AR ban might have made a difference.  Then, they preview the upcoming J6 hearings and break down Trump’s likely election interference in GA, before examining British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s resignation.  Is it time for our compromised politicians to follow suit?
