212: Keep Calm And Carry On

Politicon
About this episode
Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to investigate whether this is the end of the federal cases against Trump, explain the basis for their dismissal, and look ahead to the potential for them to be taken up after his presidency.  Then, the #Sisters discuss the challenges federal employees will face under the new administration and call for them to stay and fight to maintain the rule of law.  They also push back against Elon’s misguided attack on Lt. Col. Vindman, break down the legal definition of treason, and expose the danger created by Musk’s new quasi-governmental role.
