Summary

Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the Trump administration's revenge prosecution of E. Jean Carroll, examining the motivations behind the investigation, the allegations against her, and the role of financial backers in her civil suit against the President. Then, they expose the DOJ's prosecutorial misconduct in the Broadview Six case, review the vindictive prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and highlight the dangers of politicizing DOJ appointments. They also explain the recent SCOTUS decision overturning the murder conviction of Terry Pitchford due to racial discrimination in the jury selection process, and the implications of Justice Kavanaugh’s opinion on future cases.

0:00.0	Welcome back to hashtag sisters-in-law with Jill Wine Banks,
0:13.5	Barb McQuaid, Joyce fans, and me, Kimberly Atkins Store.
0:18.7	It was a very jam-packed week this week, and most of it, most of the news
0:24.2	involved the DOJ. So today we're going to break down the E. Jean Carroll, possible criminal
0:31.5	investigation into her or maybe not. We'll figure all that out. Then we'll go on to talk about even more DOJ mishaps.
0:41.6	And then finally we will wrap it up by talking about a Supreme Court case
0:45.1	where the majority actually found that race matters
0:49.2	and that government actors can't just give pretextual reasons for doing racist stuff. Yeah,
0:55.7	the Supreme Court still does that every now and again. But before we dive into all of these
1:02.7	really big topics this week, you know, I've been thinking a lot about the things that we need,
1:08.4	that we rely on to give us silly diversions in this time of
1:13.3	endless bad news. And I'm just wondering what each of you guys do. For example, for me, mine,

1:43.9	whole storyline, but I'm Team know, I'm not going to go through the whole storyline,
1:44.8	but I'm Team Sierra. I'm Team Sierra through and through, like much of the world. I think even the
1:50.9	Pope is. But it was just this joyous, silly way. I'm, you know, I'm like live texting my friends,
1:58.7	you know, we're chatting live about it. And it was just this little
