Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss Trump’s unconditional discharge, the role his election to the presidency had on his treatment by the law, his status as a felon, and the SCOTUS ruling on his appeal.  Then, the #Sisters investigate whether we’ll ever see Jack Smith’s report, the validity of Judge Cannon’s attempt to halt its release, and if Biden can use his new legal immunity to get it out to us.  They also expose Mark Zuckerberg’s war on fact-checkers across Meta’s platforms, the pivot to an X-style community notes system, and the growing risk of misinformation and disinformation throughout the social media landscape.
