271: Trump Threatens To Invoke The Insurrection Act

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to explain the Insurrection Act in light of Trump’s threat to invoke it, examining historical precedent, how the act differs from the powers granted under similar laws, the necessary conditions for its use, and ways to peacefully resist. Then, the #Sisters review the validity of the administration’s announcement of a criminal investigation targeting Fed Chair Jerome Powell for alleged false statements during a Senate hearing, and put it in the context of the wider war on independent agencies. They also investigate the merits of the FBI’s search of a WaPo journalist’s home and sound the alarm over the erosion of press freedoms.
