Summary

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to dissect Pam Bondi’s judicial complaints targeting Judge Boasberg and if they are legitimate, before linking them to the growing number of violent threats being faced by members of the judiciary trying to uphold the law.  Then, the #Sisters dive deeper into the danger ethical judges face in the current political climate, and emphasize why their independence is so important.  They also further explore the latest developments in the Epstein and Maxwell saga, with a focus on the comments President Trump recently made about his former employee Virginia Giuffre.

This week will be discussing Pam Bondi's complaint against Judge Bozberg in Washington, D.C., threats against judges, and the latest in the

0:39.6

saga of the Epstein files. Before we get to that, though, I wanted to talk with my sisters about

0:45.7

your view of the beach. Joyce is at the beach this way. She shared that on her substack, so I

0:51.6

feel comfortable sharing it. She's calling it Beach Book Week,

0:54.6

where she's got a stack of books that she's going to read and she's going to hang out at the

0:58.3

beach. Are you, would you consider yourselves beach lovers? What are your thoughts on beaches?

1:39.8

And here in Oak Bluffs, there is a longstanding deep black community here. It was one of the first

1:47.0

places in America where black people were able to vacation and buy homes and properties

1:53.0

to spend on the beach. And there is a lot of history there. But even to this day, it's just a very diverse but laid back and cool community that always makes me feel at home the minute that I land.
