Welcome back to Hashtag Sisters-in-Law, with Joyce Fantz, Barb McQuade, Jill Weinbanks,

investigations and indictments, also how state Republican officials are trying to subvert

voter power and the newly announced special counsel in the Hunter Biden case. And as always,

we look forward to answering your questions at the end of the show. Remember to go to
