- 448 - A Tale of Two Cases: The Good News and the Bad News
New York State court judge Juan Merchan seems fed up with the incessant attempts by Trump and his legal team to delay his criminal trial for interfering in the 2016 election by making hush money payments and falsifying business records to cover them up. Judge Merchan ruled that Trump's NY prosecution will begin with jury selection on April 15. In another legal development, a New York appeals court inexplicably reduced the amount of the bond Trump must put up to appeal the massive money judgement entered against him in his business fraud trial. The bond amount was suppose to be $464 million. Yet without any explanation, analysis, or citation to legal authority, the appeals court ordered the bond reduced to $175 million. This is an especially curious development as it comes just days after Trump boasted on social media that he had close to a half-billion dollars of cash on hand. One thing seems pretty clear: many of our institutions of government - particularly the federal government - seem to have concluded that the rules, the laws, and the Constitution apply differently to Trump than to everyone else.

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 - 13min - 447 - Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Gets April 15th Trial Date for Trump's Hush Money Case
New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed a motion seeking a firm trial date to start his criminal prosecution of Donald Trump for falsifying business records to interfere in the 2016 presidential election by covering up hush money payments. The presiding Judge, Juan Merchan, granted the motion. Glenn also takes on the issue of why Judge Merchan denied Trump's motion to try to stop Michael Cohen from testifying in the upcoming trial, and why there's actually a standard jury instruction regarding how juries should evaluate the testimony of a witness who may have lied under oath previously.

Tue, 26 Mar 2024 - 14min - 446 - New York AG Letitia James Put Liens on Trump's Seven Springs Mansion
Donald Trump's financial world is crumbling, and there is little he can do to stop it. New reporting shows: he may be forced to sell Mar-a-Lago in a "fire sale"; he has a court-appointed monitor watching his every move to make sure he doesn't move, transfer, dispose of or hide any of his assets; and New York Attorney General Letitia James has now filed a lien on Trump's Westchester County mansion Seven Springs. 🎵We all need somebody to lien on 🎶 Thanks Letitia!

Mon, 25 Mar 2024 - 09min - 445 - Judge Cannon Continues Do Favors for Trump in His Espionage Case
Judge Aileen Cannon owes her lifetime appointment as a federal judge to Donald Trump. Yet, with that obvious appearance of a conflict of interest, she continues to preside over his federal prosecution for unlawfully possessing classified documents, obstructing justice, and violating our nation's espionage laws. Even after an appellate court found she abused her judicial discretion by previously ruling to the benefit of Trump in ways the law did not allow, she continues to issue orders that are rightly described in the following USA Today headline: "Judge in Trump classified documents case proposes 'insane' jury instructions, experts say." Glenn does a deep dive into the Presidential Records Act and Judge Cannon's latest order proposing jury instructions that work to Trump's extreme advantage but have no basis in the law.

Fri, 22 Mar 2024 - 20min - 444 - Trump Says he CANNOT Post Bond in New York Business Fraud Case
In a new court filing, Donald Trump admitted that no surety or insurance company is willing to extend him a bond to cover his half-a-billion-dollar fraud judgment. This means that New York Attorney General Letitia James will begin the process of seizing Trump's properties to satisfy the judgment she won on behalf of the people of New York. Glenn goes through some of the more absurd portions of Trump's new court filing which implores the New York appeals court to allow him more time to put up a bond as required by law. In a move that is as stunning as it is expected, even in this new court filing - Trump again grossly inflates the value of his Florida property, Mar-a-Lago.

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 - 10min - 443 - How Should the Courts Respond to Trump's Promise of a "Bloodbath"?
Donald Trump is on pretrial release in four felony cases. In the past - he's used inflammatory rhetoric to inspire and incite an attack on the US Capitol on January 6th to try to retain power. Now, Trump has ratcheted up his violent rhetoric, promising a "bloodbath" if he is not reelected. In the criminal justice system, the law provides that if someone on pretrial release poses a danger to even a single person in the community, they should be revoked on release and detained pending trial. Trump is signaling to his supporters that he expects them to respond with violence if he loses. Will prosecutors, the courts, and the institutions of government receive Trump's latest violent rhetoric with a shrug? Or will they protect the American people by applying the law as it is intended to be applied and detain him pending trial?

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 - 07min - 442 - Judge Cannon Gives Trump Permission to File Another Motion to Dismiss His Charges
In what should be viewed as a break glass moment - and the final straw on the recusal front - Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon delivers Trump an absolute gift. Although she denied Trump's motion to dismiss his 32 espionage charges, she denied the motion "without prejudice." This means Trump can raise the motion again during the trial, at a time when - if she decides to dismiss the charges - Special Counsel Jack Smith COULD NOT APPEAL HER DISMISSAL. Judge Cannon is virtually trumpeting her bias in favor of the defendant - the very person to whom she owes her lifetime appointment as a federal judge. Glenn delves into Judge Cannon's ruling and why this act should be the last straw, prompting Smith to finally file a motion to have Cannon removed from the case.

Judge Scott McAfee, who's presiding over the Georgia state RICO prosecution, granted a defense motion to dismiss six of the charges in the indictment, including three of the charges against Donald Trump. Judge McAfee ruled there wasn't enough specificity in the indictment regarding the precise nature of the crimes being charged. However, the judge told prosecutors - they can cure the technical defect in the indictment by re-indicting the charges with greater specificity.

A longtime Trump employee named Brian Butler has come forward with some of the incriminating information he has regarding the conduct of Trump and his two co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira. Butler was identified only as "Trump employee 5" in Trump's federal indictment in Florida for unlawfully concealing classified documents, obstructing justice, and violating our nation's espionage laws. Butler said he hired his own attorney rather than accepting an attorney provided by Donald Trump. He also indicated that he's been cooperating with federal law enforcement authorities from the very beginning. Butler said he's sharing his story now to counter Trump's false claim that the case against him is a "witch hunt". Glenn covers three of the main takeaways from the new revelations by Brian Butler.

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 - 12min - 437 - Judge Juan Merchan Rules Jury Will Be Anonymous in Trump's First Criminal Trial
Donald Trump's first criminal trial is set to begin on March 25th. New York state court Judge Juan Merchan has ruled that the jury will remain anonymous in Trump's 2016 election interference case, involving hush money payments and falsification of business records. According to NBC News, Judge Merchan said he 's ordering the jury to remain anonymous "citing a likelihood of bribery, jury tampering, or of physical injury or harassment of jurors". Glenn says the important thing to remember is the motive in the case which was to keep Trump's intimate escapades a secret prior to the election..

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 - 13min - 436 - After Losing All Cases in the U.S., Trump Loses One in the U.K.
Donald Trump has lost civil trial after civil trial in the US. Now, he's an inter- continental loser as the BBC just reported, "Donald Trump told to pay six-figure cost of firm he sued." This latest Trump loss involves a suit he brought against Christopher Steele's consulting firm for information that became public from the Steele Dossier. But this loss comes with a twist: Trump is the one who filed the suit - a suit that the judge ruled was "bound to fail". As a result, the judge ruled that Trump must "pay the costs of the entire claim" to the party he sued. So much . . . losing.

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 - 08min - 435 - Trump Begs New York Judges to Lower His Appeal Bonds
Donald Trump is sending his lawyers from one New York courtroom to another, making them repeatedly ask judges to reduce the amount he must put up to appeal his massive losses in both the E. Jean Carroll case and his NY fraud case. Judge Kaplan and Judge Engoron have both told Trump's lawyers they won't reduce the amount. This is unsurprising, given that Trump recently boasted that he is worth $14 billion. So putting up $83 million in one case and a half-billion in the other should be a financial walk in the park for Trump. Of course, if he really was worth that much, he would not have to keep making the embarrassing ask of the judges to reduce the amount he must put up to appeal his cases.

Donald Trump is forever saying he hires only "the best people." Recent developments seem to suggest otherwise. Trump's long-time Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg, was previously convicted of participating in a 15-year-long scheme to defraud in connection with his work at the Trump Organization, and he went to prison. Upon his release, he was called as a witness at Trump's New York fraud trial and Weisselberg committed perjury, lying in an attempt to help his boss. Weisselberg has now pleaded guilty to perjury charges and is heading back to prison.

Thu, 07 Mar 2024 - 07min - 433 - The Supreme Court Rules that States CAN'T Disqualify Insurrectionists from their Ballot
The United States Supreme Court has dealt American democracy a gut-punch, ruling that state election authorities CANNOT keep an insurrectionist off the state presidential primary ballot... even after a state trial court and State Supreme Court ruled that a person HAD engaged in insurrection against the U. S. But all is not lost: the Supreme Court said there's a remedy . . . Congress can legislate and come up with a statutory scheme by which insurrectionists CAN be kept out of federal office. What are the real-world implications of this kind of Supreme Court ruling? The court puts the disqualification issue in the hands of people like Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (who fought to have Donald Trump remain in office in 2020 contrary the the expressed will of the American voters), and in the hands of people like Jim Jordan and James Comer and Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene. These are the people the Supreme Court has empowered to disqualify insurrections from holding federal office. But let's not forget, several members of Congress sought presidential pardons for their conduct on and around January 6th, 2021, supporting the inference that they, themselves, are insurrectionists. Do we really expect them to work against their own interest in retaining power? Glenn reviews the folly of today's Supreme Court ruling.

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 - 19min - 432 - Judge Aileen Cannon Sets NO TRIAL DATE in Trump's Classified Documents/Obstruction/Espionage Case
In a move that again highlights why Judge Aileen Cannon should be recused from presiding over Donald Trump's federal prosecution in Florida, she refused to set a trial date during a hearing on Friday. This is inexplicable given that Jack Smith proposed a trial date of July 8th and Trump's lawyers proposed one for August 12th. This prompted Jack Smith's prosecutor to tell Judge Cannon that the one thing the parties seem to agree on is that there can be a summer trial date - which would at least get the case tried before the November presidential election. But Judge Cannon said she was "skeptical" of the case being ready to be tried this summer, even though Trump's lawyers said they could do it. The federal law requires that a judge "shall" recuse themself from presiding over a case "if their impartiality might reasonably be questioned." Judge Cannon's lack of impartiality was again on full display in that Florida courtroom on Friday.

Tue, 05 Mar 2024 - 09min - 431 - The Supreme Court Gives Trump a "Get Out of Jail Free" Card
In a stunning development, the Supreme Court not only decides to take up on appeal Donald Trump's absurd, baseless presidential immunity claim, but they won't even hear oral arguments in the case for nearly two months. And it could take them weeks or months thereafter to decide the case, making it unlikely that Trump's trial for trying to overturn the results of the last presidential election will take place before the next presidential election. So the Supreme Court has made it clear that they will not allow the rule of law to assist in saving American democracy. Of course, the rule of law did not save American democracy in 2020 when Trump tried to steal the election. It was the American voters that saved democracy. And it will be up to the voters to save democracy again come November 2024.

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 - 13min - 430 - Trump Must Pay Up in NY Fraud Case or His Properties Might Be Seized
Donald Trump is now in the " F around and find out" stage of his long life of fraud. He must put up more than $450 million in either cash or a bond if he wants to stop New York Attorney General Leticia James from beginning to satisfy the money judgment against him by seizing his property. Insultingly, Trump told the court he will only put up a bond in the amount of $100 million because he doesn't want to have to sell his properties to put up the rest of the money he owes. The New York courts are very likely to tell Donald "Sorry - that's not the way it works."

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 - 13min - 429 - Jack Smith's Court Filing in Trump's Espionage Case - Rips Apart His "Selective Prosecution" Claim
Donald Trump is once again turning to Judge Aileen Cannon, hoping that she'll throw him a lifeline. Trump filed a motion to dismiss his obstruction of justice/ espionage/ stolen documents case - claiming that he's the victim of selective prosecution. In other words, Trump alleges that other people who committed the same crimes he committed - haven't been prosecuted, therefore it's unfair to prosecute HIM. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed his reply to Trump's absurd selective prosecution claim - and Smith's court filing reads like an argument to a jury. In this podcast - Glenn reviews the court filing and highlights why Trump's selective prosecution claims should be rejected.

It turns out that Bill Barr tasked a Republican, Trump-appointed US Attorney named Scott Brady to vet the truthfulness and accuracy of the claims being made by Smirnov about alleged bribes being paid to the Bidens - information that proved to be Russian disinformation. Now, Rep. Jerry Nadler has formally asked the Department of Justice to investigate Scott Brady to determine if the prosecutor may have laundered disinformation from Smirnov in Congressional testimony.

Now that we know that Representatives Jim Jordan and James Comer used Russian lies/disinformation to try to impeach President Biden, what should happen to them moving forward? Should they be investigated to determined if they were complicit in a conspiracy with Russia to defraud the United States and interfere in a presidential election? Glenn takes on the implications of the recent arrest of Alexander Smirnov, Jordan and Comer's star witness who admitted telling lies about Hunter and Joe Biden, and revealed those lies were fed to him by Russian operatives.

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 - 10min - 424 - Trump's Second Criminal Trial May Not Be in Florida
New York Judge Juan Merchan has set Donald Trump's first criminal trial for March 25th. That trial is likely to conclude in early May. At the moment, Trump's second criminal trial is set for May 20th. But that case - his federal trial in Florida for unlawfully retaining classified documents, obstructing justice and violating our nation's espionage laws - is being presided over by Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon. Judge Cannon has shown a willingness to cater to Trump, so she may end up cancelling the May 20 trial date in accordant with Trump's request. Glenn says some people might think this would be a win for Trump. But in reality, this could actually represent a positive development on the quest to hold Trump accountable for his crimes.

Many people are asking the question: "Can prosecutors really impanel fair and impartial juries to decide the many criminal cases against Donald Trump?" Glenn discusses the selection of the juries that have just ruled against him. Over the course of three trials; 3 juries (totaling 30 jurors) have unanimously found against Donald Trump and his namesake, the Trump Organization.

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 - 07min - 422 - DA Fani Willis' Testimony in Misconduct Hearing Exposes Trump's Lies About Her
Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis testified in court to refute the allegations leveled against her by the attorneys who represent Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the Georgia RICO case which was brought against them for trying to steal the 2020 election from the people of Georgia. Some critics say Willis' testimony was too loud, too aggressive, too strident, or too angry. But that is nonsense. DA Willis directly and forcefully refuted the lies the defendants told about her in an effort to distract attention away from the overwhelming evidence of their guilt. Glenn discusses the tactic often employed by defendants in criminal cases when the evidence against them is strong: attack the prosecutors.

Donald Trump's attorneys have filed a brief asking the Supreme Court to put his DC federal trial on a slow track to nowhere. Trump is seeking a stay (or pause) in his prosecution for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. But the Supreme Court seems to be stepping up the pace by asking Special Counsel Jack Smith to file his reply to Trump's request in only seven days. Glenn also discusses Trump's attempt to deceive the court by claiming in the filing that the judges decisions in the trial and appellate courts are a breach of precedent and historical norms.

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 - 12min - 418 - Will the Supreme Court Grant Trump's Request to Pause his DC Trial?
Donald Trump is asking the courts to make up something that does not exist in the law: absolute presidential immunity against being prosecuted for crimes committed while in office. Both the trial court judge and a three-judge appellate court panel ruled that there is no such thing as absolute presidential immunity. Trump has asked the United States Supreme Court to put a hold on his criminal case in DC rather than let it move in the direction of trial. Trump's suspected goal is to delay the case until after the 2024 presidential election in hopes of winning the White House and then ordering his Attorney General to dismiss the federal cases against him. Glenn discusses why the Supreme Court should neither grant the stay/pause of Trump's DC trial for attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election nor take the case of presidential immunity up on appeal.

Sadly, during the Supreme Court arguments on whether Donald Trump is disqualified from holding office under the 14th Amendment for engaging in insurrection, the Supreme Court justices put details over democracy. Glenn reviews the arguments in Donald Trump v. Norma Anderson (the case in which the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Trump from the Colorado state ballot) and discusses how the justices got bogged down in the details and seemed to lose sight of the big picture: that the plain language of the Constitution disqualifies Trump from holding office.

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 - 09min - 415 - The Supreme Court Should REFUSE to Review the Case of Trump's Immunity
The DC federal circuit court of appeals has unanimously ruled that Trump is not immune from prosecution for his January 6th crimes. In their opinion - the court pointed out the Constitution expressly states that presidents can be criminally prosecuted EVEN IF they're first impeached. The Constitution also imposes a duty upon presidents to "faithfully execute the laws" of our nation. In other words - the very language of the Constitution makes clear that presidents ARE NOT immune from prosecution for crimes they committed while in office. Glenn discusses why the US Supreme Court has NO legitimate reason to accept Trump's immunity claim for review, which would have the effect of delaying Trump's trial, perhaps beyond the 2024 presidential election.

A new piece in The Washington Post gives some answers to that question: Norma Anderson is "The 91-year-old Republican suing to kick Donald Trump off the ballot."

Although Donald Trump's March 4th federal trial for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election has been postponed; Glenn says not to worry - Trump's criminal trial dance card remains packed. His New York criminal case for election interference in the 2016 presidential election by falsifying business records is set to begin on March 25th. Glenn does a deep dive into all of trump's upcoming cases and the likely sequence of his FOUR criminal trials. The, he switches to Donald Trump's lies. Trump does it incessantly in the court of public opinion. But prosecutors don't normally respond in public to those lies, so when Trump lies about the evidence in his criminal cases - those lies tend to go unaddressed and uncorrected. But Special Counsel Jack Smith has now remedied that in a new court filing in Trump's federal prosecution in Florida. Glenn reviews some of what Jack Smith put in this new court filing in an attempt to, as the filing states, "set the record straight on the underlying facts that led to this prosecution."

Donald Trump's longtime Chief Financial Officer, Allen Weisselberg - already a convicted felon for engaging in fraud at the Trump Organization - reportedly is in negotiations with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to plead guilty to perjury for lying when he testified at Trump's New York fraud trial. This new legal development likely factors into two other legal developments: Judge Engoron delaying his verdict in Trump's New York fraud trial and Judge Tanya Chutkan postponing Trump's federal case in DC for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential elections. Glenn discusses the intersection of these three legal developments and what that intersection tells us about which of Trump's criminal cases is now most likely to go to trial first.

But after losing his second straight defamation case, Trump has not defamed Ms. Carroll again for nearly a week (quite a feat for Trump).

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 - 09min - 408 - Judge Kaplan Tells E. Jean Carroll Jurors to Never Tell They Served on the Jury
Before dismissing the jury at the conclusion of the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial and just after they awarded Ms. Carroll $83.3 million for Trump's incessant defamation - Judge Lewis Kaplan told the jurors that he recommends they tell NO ONE that they served on the Trump jury. Although Judge Kaplan's motivation was undoubtedly to protect the jurors against the danger posed by Trump and his supporters, it's institutional insanity to make everyone else alter their lives and their behavior rather than address the source of the danger - Donald Trump. Trump endangers everyone who is involved in holding him accountable for his crimes and his civil wrongs. This includes witnesses; judges and their staff; prosecutors and their family members; and jurors. Trump is on pretrial release in four felony cases, both state and federal. The law provides that if someone is on release in a felony case, and there is clear and convincing evidence that the defendant poses a danger to even one person in the community, that person should be detained pending trial. Yet instead of doing what the law provides, the institutions of government have decided that every single person involved in the endeavor of holding Trump accountable should alter their lives rather than neutralize the threat by detaining Trump pending trial. Glenn says let's hope the institutions of government - change course rather than continue to allow Trump to endanger jurors, witnesses, judges, and prosecutors.

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 - 10min - 407 - Donald Trump Must Pay E. Jean Carroll $83 Million for Defamation
A New York jury has issued its verdict in the second defamation case that E. Jean Carroll bought against Donald Trump: Trump must pay Ms. Carroll $83.3 million in compensatory and punitive damages. A year earlier, a jury awarded Ms. Carroll $5 million due to Trump defaming her on other occasions. Moreover, during closing arguments, Trump disrupted the proceedings by storming out when Ms. Carroll's lawyer told the jury that Trump acts like the rules don't apply to him. Of course, Trump's disruptive behavior directly and dramatically proved the exact point Ms. Carroll's attorney was arguing to the jury. Glenn says Donald Trump truly is the biggest loser when it comes to his court cases. He's lost both trials against E. Jean Carroll. He's lost his New York civil fraud trial, and we are simply awaiting Judge Engoron's decision regarding how much Trump will have to pay (or "disgorge"). And, when his namesake, The Trump Organization, was criminally convicted of a 15-year-long criminal scheme to defraud in the first degree, Trump essentially lost that case as well (albeit by proxy as he was not personally charged in that case).Trump fights every case in the court of public opinion. He lies and lies in a desperate attempt to deceive and grift from his gaggle of supporters. But the rules of evidence don't apply in the court of public opinion. However, the rules of evidence, the rules of procedure, and the rule of law all apply in court. And Trump has proven time and again that he can not win in a court of law. His unabated losses in court are strong predictors of how his criminal trials will play out. Once his criminal trials commence, Trump will be convicted over and over and over again.

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 - 16min - 406 - Navarro Sentenced to 4 Months in Prison - Trump Violates Judge's Instructions While Testifying
Today was not a particularly good day for justice. Although Peter Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of Congress, the judge DID NOT order him to be taken into custody. This is reminiscent of Steve Bannon, who was also sentenced - back in October 2022 - to four months in prison for contempt of Congress, but has yet to to serve a single day of his sentence. Perhaps worst of all, Donald Trump took the stand today in his defamation trial in New York and, after Judge Kaplan told Trump he was prohibited from calling E. Jean Carroll a liar, Trump IMMEDIATELY called E. Jean Carroll a liar. Yet there was no sanction, no accountability, and no contempt finding. Today wasn't a good day for justice or for the equal application of our laws. But tomorrow is another day...

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 - 16min - 405 - Nikki Haley is Banking on Accountability for Trump
Nikki Haley has now lost in Iowa and New Hampshire. But Glenn says don't expect her to drop out of the race for the Republican nomination. Given that it's now a two-person race, and given that Trump is facing both possible disqualification through the 14th Amendment AND possible criminal convictions and imprisonment, Haley may just stay in the race hoping she may win by default and wait in the wings for Trump's legal peril to do him in.

After a three-judge panel ruled against Donald Trump when he attempted to get the gag order (that had been put in place by Judge Tanya Chutkan) thrown out, Trump asked the full court - all 11 appellate court judges - to hear the case. In a unanimous slap down, all 11 judges refused to even hear the case, including three judges Trump appointed to the federal bench. Glenn discusses the three main takeaways from this important legal development.

Judge Lewis Kaplan, the judge presiding over the second defamation case that E. Jean Carroll brought against Donald Trump, said something during jury selection that provides important facts and context about who and what Trump really is. Judge Kaplan's words should become a campaign mantra, reminding the American voters exactly who Trump is and why he is entirely unqualified to return to presidential power. Glenn discusses the jury selection process (called voir dire), and reviews the single most important and revealing instruction Judge Kaplan gave to the folks who were assembled in a New York court room for jury selection in Ms. Carroll's defamation case.

If Donald Trump's lips are moving, there's a good chance he's incriminating himself.

Attorney Joey Tacopina represented Donald Trump in the case brought against Trump by E. Jean Carroll. With Tacopina as his lead attorney, Trump went down in flames, with the jury ordering Trump to pay Ms. Carroll $5 million in damages. Now, with Trump's trial in his New York prosecution for for falsifying business records in connection with his hush money payments to Stormy Daniels to gain unfair advantage in the 2016 presidential elections, Tacopina has filed a motion to withdraw as Trump's attorney, in essence trying to quit the case. Glenn discusses the most usual reasons defense attorneys try to quit cases, how there are different standards to withdraw from a civil case versus a criminal case, and how judges generally resolve such motions.

After ruling that Donald Trump could not give part of the closing argument in his New York civil fraud trial, Judge Engoron changed course and decided to allow Trump to make a statement.

Mon, 15 Jan 2024 - 15min - 395 - Trump Continues to Aid and Comfort Convicted Jan 6th Insurrectionists
No one can accuse Donald Trump of being a strategic thinker. In a new post, he asserts that he should be given immunity against prosecution for any and all crimes he committed to try to steal the 2020 election BECAUSE he was "looking for voter fraud." Glenn says Trump seems entirely unaware of the natural consequences of the position he's pushing. Then, Trump, and one of his minions, Elise Stefanik, have taken to calling the men and women who attacked the US Capitol, assaulted police officers, destroyed property, and hunted for elected officials, "hostages." Ignoring the fact that the vast majority of these individuals pleaded guilty, admitting, under oath in court, that they committed crimes on January 6th, Trump continues to call them hostages and promises to pardon them for their democracy-busting crimes. Glenn says - fortunately, Jack Smith is keeping book on Trump: his every statement is another piece of incriminating evidence that will be used to convict him at trial.

In another example of constitutional vandalism, a congressional report has been released documenting how Donald Trump took $7.8 million from foreign governments while in office - this in violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause. Yet, in a demonstration of mind-blowing hypocrisy, the Republicans in Congress continue to focus on Hunter Biden receiving money from foreign entities with NO EVIDENCE that his father, Joe Biden, received any money. By comparison, Donald Trump unconstitutionally raked in millions from foreign governments that went directly into Donald Trump's bank account, pockets and profits.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on February 8, 2024, in connection with the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling that Trump is disqualified from having his name on the Colorado primary ballot.

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 - 30min - 391 - Trump Signals He Knows Criminal Convictions are Coming
Donald Trump is as transparent as child when it comes to what he tries to accomplish with his lies, his disinformation, and his propaganda. For example, when he posts lies like, "the prosecutors are not coming after me, they're coming after you," it's a rallying cry designed to dupe his followers into feeling like they have a personal stake in the Trump prosecutions. Of course, the reality is that it is Trump, not his supporters, who is facing 91 felony charges in four cases, both state and federal. In his recent post, Trump tipped his hand, making it clear that even he knows that he will be convicted at trial. Glenn explains how Trump is now softening the ground in hopes he can dupe his followers into believing that the coming convictions will not be legitimate. Then, Glenn discusses Trump's criminal defense attorneys who seem to again be taking on the tone and tenor of their client in legal filings. Their latest motion is no exception. Trump's lawyers have asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to hold Jack Smith and his prosecutors in contempt for giving the defense discovery (evidence) and filing a motion while the case is on appeal. But they don't stop there. Their motion goes on to state that the prosecutors "unlawful goal . . . is the (a) desperate attempt to harass President Trump and prevent his likely victory in the 2024 Presidential election." Glenn says: sadly, these defense motions read more like a 2 am Trump posts than legitimate legal filings.

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 - 21min - 390 - Trump Targets Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows
We've seen this movie before: some government official, some prosecutor, some law enforcement agent does something to hold Donald Trump accountable for his crimes, and Trump posts things about the person designed to inspire his supporters to threats and violence against that person. Most recently, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows followed Maine's elections laws and her oath of office, and disqualified Trump from the Maine ballot. So, of course, Trump posted Secretary Bellows' bio and the threats started pouring in. Trump is on pretrial release in four felony cases. The law provides that, when there is clear and convincing evidence that a person under felony indictment poses a threat to the community or any person in the community, that defendant is to be detained pending trial. Glenn says it's long past time that the institutions of government apply the nation's pretrial detention laws to Trump as those laws are applied to every other person who is pending trial in a felony case. Trump should be detained pending trial.

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 - 09min - 389 - Jack Smith Court Filing Dismantles Trump's Claim that he has Immunity From Prosecution
As the 50 states continue to decide the question of whether Donald Trump should be disqualified from state election ballots pursuant to the 14th Amendment because he engaged in insurrection against the United States, it looks like one conservative Supreme Court Justice ruled on that issue previously. In the ruling handed down by the Colorado Supreme Court disqualifying Trump from the presidential ballot in Colorado, the court relied on a legal opinion authored by Neil Gorsuch when he was a federal appellate court judge. The issue was whether the states had the authority to ban from their election ballots a candidate who was disqualified under the Constitution. Here are the precise words of then-Judge (now Supreme Court Justice) Neil Gorsuch: "a state's legitimate interest in protecting the integrity and practical functioning of the political process permits it to exclude from the ballot candidates who are constitutionally prohibited from assuming office. " Glenn says: So the only question left is - will Gorsuch remain consistent with his prior ruling and allow Colorado and the other states to disqualify Trump from their state ballots? Then, Donald Trump has asked the DC Circuit Court of Appeals to rule that he is above the law - absolutely immune from being prosecuted for the crimes he committed while in office. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed his opposition to Trump's motion, setting out how dangerous and destructive it would be to our democracy if a president was allowed to commit crimes with impunity, including crimes designed to unlawfully retain the power of the presidency.

Tue, 02 Jan 2024 - 17min - 386 - Michigan Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Trump's 14th Amendment Case
The Michigan Supreme Court has refused to review a case that sought to ban Donald Trump from having his name placed on the Republican primary ballot in Michigan. This ruling is unsurprising given the unique election laws and procedures in Michigan. If the Michigan Republican Party wants to place a name on its presidential primary ballot, it can put any name it likes, including someone who may otherwise be disqualified from holding public office. That may make little sense, but each state has the right to enact its own election laws and regulations, and Michigan has chose a . . . curious way to go about things. Notably, the Michigan Secretary of State has no legal authority to reject Trump's name even though he engaged in an insurrection. So the Michigan Supreme Court opted to not review the case, as it involved no violation of Michigan election laws. However, if Trump were to win the Republican nomination, the suit will be refiled and the court may then HAVE to review and resolve the case. Indeed, the attorney who brought the case on behalf of the Michigan voters has said he will refile the case if Trump ends up being the Republican nominee.

Sat, 23 Dec 2023 - 12min - 381 - Sidney Powell & Kenneth Chesebro "Apologize" for their Georgia Crimes
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained and published letters of "apology" from some of Donald Trump's co-conspirators/co-defendants in his Georgia state RICO case, under the headline, "Exclusive: Apology letters surface in Fulton Trump case." The apology letters authored by defendants Sidney Powell and Keneth Chesebro are embarrassing in their lack of anything that approaches genuine remorse for their democracy-busting crimes in Georgia. Glenn says the people of Georgia deserve better than these disrespectful jokes of apology letters.

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 - 07min - 380 - Jack Smith Seeks Review of Trump's Immunity Claim in Two Courts at Once
Judge Tanya Chutkan has ruled that presidents are not kings, presidents are not above the law, and Donald Trump CAN be prosecuted for the crimes he committed while in office. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed motions seeking an expedited review of Judge Chutkan's ruling in two courts simultaneously: the D.C. federal circuit court of appeals AND the US Supreme Court. Glenn says this podcast is a explainer, in layman's terms, of why Jack Smith is going with this legal belt-and-suspenders approach to litigating Trump's presidential immunity issue.

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 - 08min - 379 - Trump Calls Jack Smith a Grinch
In the event anyone thought Donald Trump's criminal defense attorneys would stop filing absurd court pleadings, here's the new headline from NBC News: "You're a mean one, Mr. Smith: Trump attorneys call special counsel the Grinch in court filing." Glenn says Trump's lawyers apparently think irreverence and insurrection go hand-in-hand. They're wrong. Then, A federal jury in Washington, DC returned a monetary award against Rudy Giuliani for $148 million for his vile, racist, defamatory lies against Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman. Glenn says hopefully this will deter harassment of other election workers in the future.

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 - 11min - 378 - Rudy Giuliani Continues Defaming Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss
Rudy Giuliani told vile, racist, dangerous, and defamatory lies about Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman. Staggeringly, even after Giuliani admitted, in a court filing in the case, that he lied and defamed the two women, he went on to lie and defame them 20 more times, as the plaintiffs' lawyer highlighted to the jury during closing arguments. The jury decided Giuliani must pay $148 million for the damage he did to Shaye and Ruby - the two women who simply were doing their civic duty by helping support our election process.

Sat, 16 Dec 2023 - 10min - 377 - Jack Smith Asks Supreme Court to Rule Quickly on Trump's Immunity Claim
Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed an unusual request - asking the Supreme Court to swiftly take up the issue of Donald Trump's claim that he can't be prosecuted for the crimes he committed while president. Smith wants to leapfrog the case over the DC federal circuit court of appeals and have the Supreme Court resolve the issue quickly so the case can proceed to trial on schedule by March 4th. (This is assuming the court rejects Trump's claim that he is above the law). Glenn takes on the legal and the common sense implications of Trump's assertion that a president has absolute immunity while in office and can't be prosecuted for his crimes.

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 - 12min - 376 - Trump Promised He'd Testify Again in His New York Fraud Trial But He Punked Out
Donald Trump and his lawyers incessantly claimed that Donald Trump would take the stand in his own defense at his New York fraud trial. In fact, in recent days, Trump lawyer Alina Habba said Trump absolutely will testify because "he is not a coward." But Trump punked out, and decided not to testify in his own defense. Glenn says "I guess we know what that makes Trump in Habba's estimation."

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 - 11min - 375 - Higher Courts Take On the Legality of Trump and the Presidency
The Colorado Supreme Court has heard oral arguments on whether the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause means Trump will have his name taken off the presidential ballot. Glenn reviews some of the arguments made by the parties and highlights some of the absurd positions taken by Trump's lawyers. For example: they are claiming that the January 6th attack on the US Capitol wasn't really an insurrection because "it only lasted three hours" or because "it only targeted one building." Then, the DC federal circuit court of appeals largely affirmed the gag order Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed on Donald Trump, trying to address his dangerous speech and posts. The unanimous appellate court ruling stated, “Mr. Trump’s documented pattern of speech and its demonstrated real-time, real-world consequences pose a significant and imminent threat to the functioning of the criminal trial process in this case.” The court opinion also noted that many of the individuals Trump verbally attacked “have been subjected to a torrent of threats and intimidation from his supporters.” Glenn says perhaps the most encouraging sentence in the entire 68-page opinion is the following: "In this case, the general election is almost a year away and will long postdate the trial in this case."

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 - 17min - 374 - Trump Previews Dictatorial Plans and Tries to Undercut Judge Chutkan's Authority
This time in our longform weekend podcast - Glenn runs down the legal stories of the week. First, Donald Trump said during Sean Hannity's interview - if he's elected - he'll be a dictator on day one. Even worse, he just put something in a new court filing in his criminal case in DC that indicates he also intends to act like a dictator in his criminal case - deciding legal issues himself rather than waiting for or abiding by legal issues as decided by Judge Tanya Chutkan. According to Glenn - this is a new level of danger Trump is injecting into the mix. Then, Judge Chutkan rules that presidents are not kings, and therefore are NOT absolutely immune from prosecution for their crimes. Glenn says her work is masterful and inspirational. Next, we now know that former Vice President Mike Pence is on the prosecution's witness list in Trump's Georgia state RICO case. Glenn discusses how Mike Pence's testimony will bring the criminal heat to Trump. Then finally, a new Jack Smith court filing reveals how one of Trump's "campaign employees/co-conspirators" attempted to start a "riot" at the Detroit, Michigan, vote-counting center on Nov. 4, 2020, once he saw the count was trending for Joe Biden. Glenn talks about how this co-conspirator statement will actually be sharply incriminating evidence at Trump's criminal trial in Washington DC. Judge Chutkan's written opinion is important reading, and may help reinforce (or restore) the public's confidence in the rule of law.

Sat, 09 Dec 2023 - 51min - 373 - Jack Smith's Latest Court Filing Reveals New Evidence Incriminating Trump
In a new court filing, Special Counsel Jack Smith reveals that one of Donald Trump's co-conspirators worked to initiate a riot in Detroit, Michigan, at a location where votes were being counted, when it looked like Joe Biden was pulling into the lead in the vote count. Glenn discusses the law of co-conspirator statements and why this evidence is directly and sharply incriminating of Donald Trump himself, and how Jack Smith plans to use this evidence against Trump in his federal trial in Washington, DC.

Thu, 07 Dec 2023 - 13min - 372 - Three Quick Stories
Today it's a mixed bag for legal stories: 1. The New York appellate court reimposed the gag order Judge Engoron placed on Donald Trump in an effort to stop Trump from endangering the court staff. Glenn thinks the gag order should be broader. 2. Newly disclosed text messages between Rep. Scott "Pardon Me" Perry and Trump co-conspirator/co-defendant Jeffrey Clark reveal that Perry was in the thick of Trump's conspiracy to unlawfully cling to power. The question now becomes, does the DOJ finally have enough evidence to indict Perry? Glenn says remember, he requested a pardon from Trump for his apparent crimes on and around January 6th. 3. Kevin McCarthy states that Matt Gaetz is "more fit for a penitentiary" than for Congress, and he "belongs in jail." Glenn asks: Isn't it time for the DOJ to interview McCarthy about the dirt he has on Matt Gaetz?

This extended Justice Matters podcast does a deep dive into the new ruling by Judge Tanya Chutkan rejecting Donald Trump's motion to dismiss his DC case, claiming he has "absolute presidential immunity" against being prosecuted for his crimes and that the double-jeopardy clause of the Constitution prohibits him from being prosecuted.

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 - 32min - 370 - Courts Reject Donald Trump's January 6th Immunity Claim
In our longform weekend podcast Glenn runs down his legal recap stories of the week. He begins with the new reporting that Jennifer Little, one of Donald Trump's current lawyers, told a grand jury overseen by Special Counsel Jack Smith that within days of the DOJ issuing a subpoena last year for all the classified documents Trump had at his Florida home, she "very clearly" warned the former president that if he did not comply "it's going to be a crime". Then, newly disclosed text messages between Rep. Scott "Pardon Me" Perry and Trump co-conspirator/co-defendant Jeffrey Clark reveal that Perry was in the thick of Trump's conspiracy to unlawfully cling to power. Glenn says the question now becomes, does the DOJ finally have enough evidence to indict Perry? If you recall, Perry requested a pardon for his apparent crimes on and around January 6th. Next recap story, reported first by The Guardian, "Georgia Prosecutors Oppose Plea Deals for Trump, Meadows and Giuliani." Glenn discusses why this is an important and necessary development in the RICO case. Then, the appellate court in New York reimposed the gag order Judge Engoron placed on Donald Trump in an effort to stop Trump from endangering the court staff. Glenn says more people will get harassed unless his pretrial release is revoked. And finally, a federal appeals court has determined that Trump isn't immune from civil lawsuits related to the January 6th attack at the capitol. Glenn says this a bellwether of what will happen in other court cases.

Sat, 02 Dec 2023 - 41min - 369 - NO PLEA OFFERS to Trump, Giuliani, or Meadows
As reported by The Guardian, "Georgia Prosecutors Oppose Plea Deals for Trump, Meadows and Giuliani." Glenn discusses why this is an important clue about how confident Fani Willis is and also why it's a necessary development. Notes and links for singer/songwriter Derek Jones: Canadian singer/songwriter Derek Jones has been passionate about writing and performing original music for most of his life. His music is heartfelt, powerful, and inspirational; plus his songs are inspired by real-life experiences, feelings and emotions. In March, Derek released his 5th studio album, Dimensions. The first song on the album is entitled Justice Matters, which is a powerful musical anthem inspired by this program (and the critical work that I and Team Justice are carrying out on a daily basis!); as well as by the unprecedented political and legal events taking place in the US. The song could essentially be a motivating and inspirational backdrop as we celebrate some of the positive outcomes we have witnessed over this past year. I encourage you to check out Justice Matters (…the song!), which is available on all streaming platforms and on YouTube. You will find links to his music in the description below. You can also visit derekjones.ca for more information about Derek and his music. We are excited to have Derek join us at our 2024 Team Justice gathering in DC to perform a live, acoustic version of the song!

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 - 11min - 368 - When Trump Trial Dates Collide
Donald Trump has five trials pending against him. It's actually not that unusual for career criminals to have multiple cases pending against them simultaneously in multiple jurisdictions. But what happens when those trials overlap or are set so close together that they risk bumping into one another. Glenn takes on the issue of the many trials of Donald Trump and how they are likely to play out on the scheduling front.

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 - 10min - 367 - Trump's Gag Order Battle Rages On
The Donald Trump gag orders are beginning to cross-pollenate. After Trump posted attacks on Judge Engoron's law clerk in New York, hundreds of threats poured in from Trump's supporters. Special Counsel Jack Smith packaged up the evidence of those threats and filed the information with the appellate court in DC that is deciding the constitutionality of the gag order imposed by Judge Tanya Chutkan in Trump's federal prosecution in DC. Trump's defense attorneys countered by arguing that Trump didn't directly threaten Judge Engoron's law clerk. However, as appellate court judge Millet told Trump's lawyers during the recent oral argument, 'Trump posts statements, and witness threats follow.'

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 - 09min - 366 - 2 VERY Different Thanksgiving Messages to America
In today's longform weekend podcast - Glenn runs down the legal recap of the week. He begins by discussing: a tale of two presidents: Joe Biden's holiday message for the American people versus Donald Trump's message for the American people. Glenn illustrates the stark contrast. Then, in the legal recap, a Colorado judge finds that Donald Trump, in fact, engaged in an insurrection against the United States, but doesn't seem to think that's a disqualifying problem for a president under the 14th Amendment. Glenn says "REALLY!?" Both parties have appealed the court's decision. Next story of the week, the Supreme Court pretends to issue a Code of Ethics for the justices. Turns out it is nothing more than a pamphlet of suggestions. So Lame! And finally, a D.C. appellate court has heard oral arguments about the constitutionality of the Trump gag order that Judge Tanya Chutkan issued to try to protect witnesses, court staff, and prosecutors from Donald Trump's reckless, dangerous, and threatening rhetoric. Glenn says he'll bet 1$ that Trump will appeal the gag order all the way to the Supreme Court.

Sat, 25 Nov 2023 - 39min - 365 - Trump's New York Fraud Trial Witness Testifies and Ruins Trump's Defense
Last week, Colorado Judge Sarah Wallace entered a finding that Donald Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021. However, Judge Wallace went on to rule that the 14th Amendment does not disqualify a president who engaged in an insurrection from again serving as president of the United States. Both parties have now filed appeals in the case. Trump has appealed the judge's finding that he engaged in an insurrection, and Crew - the organization that brought the suit on behalf of Colorado voters - appealed her ruling that Trump is not disqualified by the 14th Amendment. Glenn says one of the important factors in assessing the likely result on appeal involves the different standards of review that are applied to a trial court's factual determinations versus its legal determinations. Then, if you thought the New York fraud trial couldn't get any worse for Donald Trump - it just did. In a colossal tactical blunder, Trump's own lawyer put a witness on the stand that, as the Business Insider reported, "ties (Trump) to the conspiracy." Trump's lawyers called as a witness longtime comptroller for the Trump Organization Jeffrey McConney. After Trump had previously testified that he knew little to nothing about the annual net-worth statements of his own business, McConney testified that the statements were actually provided to Trump for his final review. Indeed, the attorney for the New York Attorney General's office cross-examined McConney with his own hand-written note on the financial documents that plainly stated, " DJT to get final review." Glenn says - in other words, Trump's own lawyers called a witness that blew up their client's defense. Only the best people . . .

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 - 21min - 364 - Appellate Court Hears Arguments on the Constitutionality of Judge Chutkan's Gag Order
A three-judge appellate court panel heard arguments regarding the constitutionality of the gag order Judge Tanya Chutkan placed on Donald Trump in an attempt to prevent him from endangering witnesses, court staff, prosecutors and their family members. In a very spirited 2.5-hour argument, the judges had pointed questions for both the prosecution and the defense. Glenn reviews the appellate court's arguments from the perspective of someone who was inside the courtroom watching it live as it happened.

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 - 15min - 363 - Colorado Judge Rules Trump Engaged in Insurrection
A Colorado judge has ruled that the evidence presented during the course of a trial proves that Donald Trump engaged in an insurrection against the United States. Judge Sarah Wallace spends 95 pages of her 102-page ruling meticulously detailing the evidence supporting her findings that Trump did indeed engage in an insurrection. But in the last pages of her ruling, she says that while there "are persuasive arguments on both sides" of the disqualification issue, "it appears to the Court that for whatever reason the drafters of Section Three (of the 14th Amendment) did not intend to include (for disqualification purposes) a person who had only taken the Presidential Oath." And accordingly, Judge Wallace declined to find that Trump was disqualified from holding office in the future. Glenn discusses the implications of Judge Wallace's factual findings and legal conclusions, and what the appellate court might do with the case on appeal.

Tue, 21 Nov 2023 - 11min - 362 - The On-Again Off-Again Gag Order Reflex
In today's longform weekend podcast - Glenn begins with some good news and tells us why the color ORANGE used to be a favorite but now gives him the creeps. He explains the silver lining hiding behind the big dark cloud and talks about Judge Chutkan's determination to start Trump's election interference trial on march 4th. She set a date for Jury selection to begin on February 9th in Trump's trial for trying to overthrow the 2020 election. Glenn says he'll be in court that day to report on the proceedings. Next, "The boss is not going to leave under any circumstances. We are just going to stay in power." That's the quote from a proffer video that was leaked to the press and it could mean big trouble for Trump in his Georgia RICO case. After flipping and pleading guilty, Trump co-defendant Jenna Ellis provided videotaped statements to the prosecution. This was leaked to the press by another co-defendant's lawyer. Glenn says this testimony is really incriminating. Then finally, more on-again off-again gag orders for Trump. Glenn explains the details of the gag order "reflex" from the courts and it seems all of the gag order guardrails that keep Trump from saying or posting harmful things about court staff or witnesses are not holding in place due to the many appeals Trump keeps filing. Glenn says we need to stop him from continuing to harm people once and for all.

Sat, 18 Nov 2023 - 48min - 361 - Video of Jenna Ellis Shows Trump Planned to Not Relinquish Power
One of the two gag orders judges have imposed on Donald Trump in attempts to protect witnesses, court staff and prosecutors, has been stayed or paused by the DC appellate court pending an oral argument scheduled for November 20th. As the reporting indicates, each of the three appellate court judges who will sit on the panel for the gag order appeal was appointed by a democrat president. In the age of Trump, we are always asking the question, "who appointed this federal judge?" But it hasn't always been that way. Glenn also takes on the differences between how the Obama administration approached the task of appointing federal judges versus how the Trump administration approached the same task. Then, in a remarkable revelation, one of Trump's co-defendants in the Georgie RICO case, Jenna Ellis, told prosecutors that Trump's close aid, Dan Scavino, said that Trump had decided he would not leave the presidency even though he lost the election. Glenn discusses the evidentiary implications of that statement and what it means for both Scavino and Trump. Link to Atlanta Journal Constitution article: https://www.ajc.com/politics/key-take...

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 - 30min - 360 - Trump's Embarrassing Motion Demanding TV Cameras in the Courtroom
Donald Trump and his lawyers have filed an unprofessional, irresponsible, and entirely inappropriate motion "demanding" that Judge Tanya Chutkan allow his federal election trial to be live on TV. The defense court filing reads like an extended, 2 a.m., unhinged Trump social media post. Glenn says he has filed many briefs and this one is unlike any filing he has ever seen in his 30 years as a federal prosecutor. Glenn goes through Donald Trump's court filing and the response filed by Jack Smith and his team. For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 - 09min - 359 - Jack Smith's Prosecution Blueprint in Trump's DC Case
Recent court filings by Special Counsel Jack Smith show that prosecutors will present a sweeping case against Donald Trump for his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. As Politico's Kyle Cheney wrote, "Echoes of Jan. 6 committee as Jack Smith foreshadows plan to tie Trump to Capitol riot." Glenn reviews the many criminal threads of Trump's multi-pronged attack on the election's results, and how federal prosecutors intend to present a case to a DC jury that weaves those threads into one treasonous tapestry.

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 - 12min - 358 - Trump Erupts After Report of Mar-a-Lago Employees Testifying Against Him
In today's weekend longform podcast Glenn gives us the latest updates in the Trump Trials. He begins with his review of the recent election. Then, Ivanka Trump has testified in the New York family fraud civil case. Glenn says it appears amnesia runs in the family. Then he talks about Special Counsel Jack Smith who has responded to a set of motions filed by the Trump legal team asking to dismiss the charges against him in Washington D.C. Glenn says Jack Smith shows that Trump's arguments are meritless. Next, a federal appeals court has temporarily lifted a gag order on Donald Trump in his 2020 election interference case in Washington D.C. Glenn says he'll be there on November 20th in the appellate court when they make their determination. Then finally, CNN has reported that several Mar-a-Lago employees are expected to testify against Donald Trump in his federal prosecution in Florida in his classified documents/obstruction of justice/espionage case. These witnesses reportedly include a plumber, a maid, a chauffeur, and a woodworker, among others. Upon learning of this, Trump erupted with an unhinged rant against the CNN reporting, against Jack Smith, and against Joe Biden. It is crystal clear that this development is VERY upsetting to Trump, likely because these Mar-a-Lago employees were in the perfect position to see much of what Trump was doing during the time he was unlawfully retaining the classified documents that he refused to return, even when they were subpoenaed by the grand jury as part of a criminal investigation.

Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team of prosecutors have filed several motions responding to Donald Trump's attempts to convince Judge Tanya Chutkan to dismiss the case against him. In one of Smith's court filings, he directly and definitively knocks down Trump's incessant lies about President Joe Biden "directing" the prosecution against him.

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 - 13min - 356 - Trump Turns His New York Fraud Trial into a Circus
Donald Trump testified in his New York fraud trial and attempted to turn the proceedings into a circus with combative, non-responsive, insulting, and absurd testimony. Glenn says this is precisely what defendants do when they know they can't win on the facts: they attack the prosecutors, the judge, and the process that is trying to hold them accountable for their wrong-doing. The type of testimony that Trump exhibited isn't a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness. It's not a sign of confidence, it's a sign of fear. Glenn reviews some of Trump's desperate, unpersuasive, and often unhinged testimony before Judge Arthur Engoron in New York and tells of some similar testimony he has experienced in the past..

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 - 10min - 355 - Book Publisher Sues Mark Meadows for Millions
Just days after the January 6 insurrection - Donald Trump's Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, signed a book deal to write a memoir about his time in the white house and the events surrounding the 2020 election. Now, Meadows' book publisher is suing him, alleging that the book is full of lies about non-existent election fraud. These lies parroted the ones that were being told (and are still being told) - by Donald Trump. Glenn says: this is a little something called . . . karma.

Tue, 07 Nov 2023 - 12min - 354 - Some Good News on The Trump Trials
In today's longform weekend podcast - Glenn recaps some GOOD NEWS stories of the week - starting off with a fresh new story about DC Judge Tanya Chutkan - who is already preparing for Donald Trump's trial on March 4th. As just reported by the Washington Post, Judge Chutkan will now begin jury selection in Trump's DC case on Feb. 9. This reinforces that Chutkan's trial "will not yield to an election cycle," which she stated in open court when Trump's lawyers asked her to continue the trial until after the Nov. 2024 presidential election. The next good news story: Gag-order-palooza for the month of October. It started with a NY judge gagging Trump and the month ended with a DC judge gagging Trump. All-in-all, a pretty good month. Glenn says the big question is - what will happen to Trump when he violates the gag orders? Next, Glenn gives updates on Trump's NY fraud trial: Don Jr. and Eric provide foolish and incredible testimony, while Ivanka's upcoming testimony may be the most perilous for her father and her brothers. And more good news, in Colorado, a trial has begun to determine if Trump is ineligible to be put on the presidential ballot in that state because he is disqualified under the 14th Amendment for engaging in an insurrection AND because he continues to give aid and comfort to the insurrectionists. Glenn asks: if he is found to be disqualified - will Trump's appeal to the Supreme Court be his ace in the hole? O.K. Last good story, during a campaign rally - Donald Trump made fun of Mike Pence for dropping out of the presidential race; but he still remains an important witness. Glenn explains Pence will get the last word, if not the last laugh, when he testifies as a directly and sharply incriminating prosecution witness at Trump's upcoming criminal trials.

Sat, 04 Nov 2023 - 46min - 353 - Colorado State's 14th Amendment Trial to Disqualify Trump From the 2024 Ballot
A trial has kicked off in a Colorado state court which is seeking to disqualify Donald Trump from being placed on the 2024 presidential ballot. The case was brought by "CREW" - Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington - on behalf of Colorado voters. Glenn reviews some of the testimony from day one of the trial and lays out the facts that support, indeed compelling, the conclusion that Trump engaged in an insurrection and is therefore constitutionally disqualified from running for or holding office again.

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 - 11min - 352 - Judge Chutkan Reimposes Trump's Gag Order
Judge Tanya Chutkan reimposed her original gag order on Donald Trump in his Washington DC case for trying to overthrow the 2020 election. Glenn explains she read to him some of his recent posts on his social media Truth Social to helpfully "spoon-feed" him some examples of what would and would not violate the gag order. Glenn says "Of course, the only remaining questions are: how long before Trump violates the gag order and what will Judge Chutkan do when he does violate it?"

Wed, 01 Nov 2023 - 13min - 351 - Judge Orders Trump and his 3 Oldest Children to Testify
Former Vice President Mike Pence announced that he's suspending his bid for the presidency, but vows to keep working to help "principled Republicans" get elected. At a campaign stop, Donald Trump mentioned that Pence dropped out, and laughed when someone in the crowd yelled, "Traitor!" Trump then said that Pence "could have done what he could have done," an obvious reference to Trump's continued lie that Pence should have violated the law - the Electoral Count Act - and corruptly declared Trump the winner of the 2020 presidential election. Glenn explains that Pence will have the last laugh (figuratively speaking) when he is called as a prosecution witness to testify against Trump at his DC trial, about Trump's illegal pressure campaign attempting to get Pence to go along with his criminal scheme. Then, New York Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Ivanka Trump must testify in the New York fraud trial against her father and her brothers Don Jr. and Eric. So now, Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, and Donald Trump himself are all expected to testify. Glenn says this is perilous terrain to the Trump witnesses in light of the fact that Judge Engoron has already found that Trump and others in the Trump organization engaged in massive, systemic, years-long business fraud. Now, the Trump's will have to testify about those very business practices. For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 - 12min - 350 - We are Going to Freedom Ourselves to Death
In today's longform podcast - Glenn talks about the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine: He says it's time to vote out every single politician who worships at the altar of unrestricted access to assault rifles, and stands in the way of gun reform. With our nation averaging 1.9 mass shootings A DAY, we can wait no longer. Then Glenn does the legal recap and says "Accountability" is the word for the day: First story - Special Counsel Jack Smith not only asks Judge Tanya Chutkan to reinstate her Trump gag order (which she temporarily paused), but also gives the judge a blueprint for putting some teeth into the order - namely, make it a specific condition of Trump's pre-trial release and jail him if he violates it. Next, Mark Meadow gets some form of immunity from Special Counsel Jack Smith and is compelled to testify in the federal grand jury about the crimes of Donald Trump. Glenn says the problem is, immunity - in many ways - is the opposite of accountability. And finally, as District Attorney Fani Willis continues to expertly execute the RICO playbook by strategically getting one Trump attorney after another to plead guilty, Glenn asks what does it say about accountability when these pleas come with probation rather than jail time? Closing it up, Glenn gives advice on how you can make a difference and why voting - like justice - matters.

Glenn does a deep dive into the ins and outs, and the pros and cons of immunity.
