306: Trump Slush Fund: Are You Kidding Me‽

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersinLaw to discuss the DOJ “anti-weaponization” slush fund that uses $1.8 billion in taxpayer money to pay Trump, his allies, and J6 rioters for alleged government “weaponization,” along with a lifetime IRS audit ban for Trump. Then, the #Sisters break down the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel’s memo declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional, the federal court injunction blocking the White House from ignoring the law, and the danger to our system. They also examine the indictment of former Cuban President Raúl Castro, the evidence against him, its questionable timing, and the possibility of military action.
