Summary
Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the plea deal with 9/11 mastermind KSM, differences between military tribunals and civilian courts, evidentiary issues that make it challenging to try Guantanamo prisoners, and the prisoner swap with Russia. Then, the #Sisters explain what happens now that Trump’s DC case has returned to Judge Chutkan, how to categorize presidential actions under the immunity decision, and the possible illegality of an Egyptian financial transfer to his campaign. They also sound the alarm over Project 2025’s assault on the bureaucracy and the danger of Trump reviving the executive order that created Schedule F.
