Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to investigate whether this is the end of the federal cases against Trump, explain the basis for their dismissal, and look ahead to the potential for them to be taken up after his presidency. Then, the #Sisters discuss the challenges federal employees will face under the new administration and call for them to stay and fight to maintain the rule of law. They also push back against Elon’s misguided attack on Lt. Col. Vindman, break down the legal definition of treason, and expose the danger created by Musk’s new quasi-governmental role.

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Matt Gaetz’s withdrawal from contention for attorney general in favor of Pam Bondi by looking at whether his appointment was a strategy to make her seem more palatable and the negatives she brings to the table. Then, the #Sisters detail the guardrails being erected by governors, a coalition of state attorney generals, and ordinary citizens to defend our constitution from the 2nd Trump administration. They also explain the status of Trump’s cases in GA and NY, what will happen before he takes office and the fate of his co-conspirators who have already pled guilty.

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to investigate Trump’s cabinet appointees, exposing Matt Gaetz's improprieties and threat to the rule of law, Pete Hegseth’s troublingly light resume and lack of executive experience, and RFK Jr.’s advocacy of conspiracy-laden medical misinformation. Then, the #Sisters discuss the future of Jack Smith’s prosecutions, looking at what we can expect from his final brief and the national security ramifications of the dangerous precedent Trump has set by failing to protect classified materials. They also debate the ability of the SCOTUS to serve as a check on the presidency and emphasize the role lower courts' have in the battle for our democracy.
