Summary

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to celebrate Jill’s recent role as a Grand Marshall, and explain the madness behind the DOJ’s investigation of Comey and Brennan in what will most likely amount to a fishing expedition at best, and retaliation against Trump’s political opponents at worst.  They also discuss the SCOTUS rulings on birthright citizenship in the class action suit, Barbara v. Trump, breaking down the strength of the case and laying out what should determine eligibility.  Then, they examine the Reuveni DOJ whistleblower story and game out its aftermath.
