About this episode
Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to share their collective advice for a legal career before diving into the civil judgment against Rudy Giuliani for his defamation of Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman after he refused to cooperate with the court.  Then they give us an update on Trump’s trials and discuss why Mark Meadows’ testimony under oath was so ill advised when it appears that his actions were political in support of Donald– and far outside the scope of his official duties.  From there, they explain arraignments from bail to jail  and why Trump’s co-conspirators in Georgia might have chosen to waive them.
