Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to examine the propriety of the dismissal of NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ indictment, why he seems to be favored by the Trump administration, and if his future independence is compromised.  Then, the #Sisters discuss Pam Bondi’s initial memos as Attorney General and read the tea leaves to see how she plans on running the DOJ.  They also strategize how to fight back against Trump’s war on the free press and highlight the institutions that are essential to helping defend our democratic institutions.
