Summary

Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to lay out the insanity of the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, decry the politics of revenge, and look at whether the claims have any merit. Then, the #Sisters explain what ‘AntiFa’ refers to, and why the term has become such a flash point in the age of democratic decline and help us understand the historical framework of domestic terrorism under the law. They also look at the allegations against Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, regarding his acceptance of $50,000 in cash and explain the challenges of holding people in the administration to account.

0:00.0	Welcome back to hashtag Sisters-in-law with Joyce fans, Jill Wine Banks, Barb McQuaid, and me, Kim Atkins store.
0:18.4	And don't forget to check out our merch site, Politicon.com, slash merch, because we have a
0:24.8	brand new Sisters Resistance hoodie. And it's now available to order. That's politicon.com
0:32.1	slash merch and check out our new stuff. Now on with the show where we'll discuss a lot of big topics.
0:39.9	One, the indictment of former FBI director James Comey. Also, President Trump's executive order
0:46.5	targeting Antifa. And what has Tom Homan gotten himself into? And will there be any
0:53.5	consequences for it? But before we get to that,
0:57.5	just by way of the fact that all four of us are sitting here, my sisters, and the world did not
1:04.3	end, as some would predict that it would earlier this week. Maybe some of us might have wished it
1:09.1	would, because this week was a lot. This week was a lot.
1:12.3	But we are all still here.
1:14.5	But it got me thinking, like, if I knew it was the end of the world, you know, what would I do?

1:37.4	You know, if I'm ever on death row, I pity the budget of the state because I would need to have
1:42.7	that as my final meal.
1:45.5	And it is not cheap.
1:46.7	But, I mean, that's the first thing that popped into my mind and probably also listen to Prince's
1:51.2	1999 album because, you know, that's what it's all about.
1:54.3	But what would you guys do if you knew the world was going to end?
