Five Questions with Jill Wine-Banks, Former Watergate Prosecutor

Jill Wine-Banks is a national treasure. The only woman lawyer on the Watergate prosecution team, she has vast experience as an attorney. Not only was she a federal prosecutor, she was the first woman to serve as General Counsel of the Army. Jill was also a partner with the law firm of Jenner and Block LLP and has worked in business as a Director and Vice President at Motorola and Vice President at Maytag. Jill is also the author of “The Watergate Girl: My Fight for Truth and Justice Against a Criminal President.”

We get together every Friday afternoon to tape the Sisters-in-Law podcast, and I always look forward to her insights. I wanted to share them with you tonight.

I asked Jill to join us for “Five Questions with” because, increasingly, I’m concerned our country has not learned the lessons of history, and there’s no one better to arm us with that information than Jill.
