261: The Earl Of Sandwich

Jill Wine-Banks hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the merits of the case against the DC sandwich thrower, the relevant jury instructions, the accuracy of the charges, and whether jury nullification played a role in its dismissal. Then, the #Sisters look at Chicago’s handling of violence and warrantless arrests by ICE agents, the steps the leadership of the city is taking to fight back against federal overreach, and the unethical conditions in local detention centers. They also investigate the ongoing prosecution of former FBI Director Jim Comey, the ethics and facts involved, and what it means for other members of government.
