Summary

The Republican party has made it very clear they’re ready to abandon democracy and the rule of law. So, no matter how hungry we are for justice, we can’t help them by abandoning the rule of law ourselves. No matter how irritating it feels to watch justice move slowly, sticking with the strictest rules is the only way if we want to keep living in a country with rules. Today I’m joined by brilliant appellate lawyer and constantly vindicated legal expert, Teri Kanefield for a ‘where we are now’ end of year wrap up on the various Trump indictments, and to discuss her recent series on the panic/misinformation cycle we keep finding ourselves in.

0:05.2	So in a portion of the population, let's go to facts, democracy is in danger.
0:10.0	That's where we are now. Hello and welcome to the Politics Girl Podcast. I'm your host Lee McGowan. Let's get
0:26.1	into it. Today's episode is a candid conversation with return guest, author and
0:30.6	lawyer Terry Kanefield. Terry has published over a dozen books as well as articles, essays, stories, and legal briefs over the past 30 years.
0:38.0	Her political analysis has been used in the Washington Post, CNN, NBC, and most major news outlets.
0:44.0	She's one of my go-to lawyers because of her brilliant insight on legal and constitutional matters.
0:48.0	Terry is a careful and thoughtful thinker who doesn't get caught up in the drama of the moment.
0:53.7	She's always stood firm in the idea that despite the fact that we were chomping at the bit for justice,
0:58.4	it was good news for the health of the rule of law that the DOJ was being methodical and careful not to rush the process or abandon
1:05.4	the rules simply because we wanted certain results for certain people.
1:09.6	The Republican Party has made it very clear that they are ready to abandon democracy in the rule of law and we shouldn't help them do that by abandoning the rule of law ourselves.
1:18.0	No matter how hungry we are for justice, playing by the rules, no matter how irritating that feels sometimes, is the only way
1:25.6	to move forward if we want to keep living in a country with rules.
1:29.0	I'm having her on today to do a Where Are We Now, End of Year year wrap up for the various Trump indictments and
1:34.8	to discuss her recent series she did on her blog about the panic misinformation cycle that is making
1:40.1	this country crazy.
1:41.8	So without further ado, please welcome lawyer, author, and one of my
1:45.4	favorite legal experts, Terry Kanefield. Welcome back, Terry. Thank you for having me back.
1:50.7	It's nice to be here again. Well, it's great to have you.
1:54.0	Your take on these indictments has been vindicated so many times
1:58.0	that I hope you can give us some insight into where we are now
