Politicon
About this episode
Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to look at Jack Smith’s in limine motion to shut down Trump’s ability to bring misinformation into the evidence of his D.C. trial, and how it affects the potential defenses and the case’s progression.  Then, the #SistersInLaw dive into the latest developments in the efforts to remove Trump from the ballot in Maine and other states, and explain why they represent constitutional analysis rather than partisan action.  From there, they analyze the impact of Chesebro’s emails and proffer on the fake electors case and what it means when a defendant maintains innocence after pleading guilty..
