352: Dirty Tricks

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the state of voting rights going into the midterm elections, looking at the DOJ’s challenges in Alaska and California, the future implications of federal interference in the states, and the history of dirty tricks in politics. Then, the #Sisters explain Maureen Comey’s victorious lawsuit against the administration for wrongful termination, and the latest lawfare targeting her father, James Comey. They also review litigation pushing back against Trump’s attempt to restrict media access to the administration, the importance of press freedom, and the nuances governing the issuance of press credentials.
