Politicon
About this episode
Kimberly Atkins Stohr leads the #SistersInLaw in a discussion of protective orders and of why it is so important for Judge Chutkan to have one against Trump to safeguard witnesses and others involved in his trial.  Next, they cover the appointment of a special counsel to handle the potential crimes of Hunter Biden and explore how it will affect the political conversation.  The sisters then lay out how Ron DeSantis is taking authoritarian steps to undermine democracy in his state by suspending state attorneys for political reasons in opposition to the will of the voters.
