Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

In today's podcast - Glenn discusses the foot in mouth problems of Donald Trump. First, he talks about Trump's speech at the Road to Majority Conference in Washington where he claimed he has the absolute right to take classified documents because the Presidential Records Act made it legal. On NBC's Meet the Press, Congressman Don Bacon was the only brave voice to claim the emperor has no clothes and said "Sharing classified Iran documents is a crime". Next, Glenn shares Trump's recent social media post where he screams in all caps that Jack Smith is a psycho and deranged and that he should be charging President Biden with some made up crime. Only 6 thousand people reposted it. Is Trump losing his appeal? Then he dissects the audio of the 2021 recording in Bedminster, New Jersey - where Trump talks about his secret documents that were NOT declassified. Trump's violations of our nation's espionage laws were caught on tape in his own voice. Glenn explains how important this is.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today - Glenn has an update on Special Counsel Jack Smith's latest activities as he continues to investigate the crimes of Donald Trump. First - prosecutors in Trump's classified documents case are asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to push the trial date back from August 14th to December 11th. Glenn explains this is because the case involves classified documents and Trump’s defense counsel is in the process of getting the necessary security clearances in order to view them. (Though they are dragging their feet!) Then, Jack Smith's 2020 election tampering/ January 6th probe is also blazing ahead. We now know that many witnesses and at least 2 fake electors are testifying before a grand jury in Washington D.C. If the fake electors have been granted limited immunity - does this mean prosecutors are nearing some charging decisions in the case?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today - Glenn evaluates why the FBI and the DOJ resisted opening an investigation into Donald Trump's role in the January 6th insurrection. A Washington Post report claims the DOJ shut down the requests of career prosecutors who were asking to open a probe into Trump's involvement in the Capitol riots. According to the report, it was due to a lack of evidence but was it more about appearing partisan? Then, when Trump announced he was running for office again, A.G. Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith and the floodgates finally opened.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In our longform weekend podcast - we again discuss The Trump Trials. First up - Glenn does the weekly legal recap and talks about Judge Aileen Cannon's ability to be impartial. He then discusses a surprising move by Special Counsel Jack Smith who filed a discovery letter that turns over all of the grand jury transcripts. Directly following this letter - Donald Trump posted a message on his social media begging congress to help him. Did Jack Smith spook him with his letter? Then, Glenn says many people are asking him if the court can select a fair and impartial jury in Fort Pierce, Florida which is a deep red county. He says there are tricks the judges and prosecutors will use to make sure this will happen. Finally, Glenn recollects a time in his college days when a computer crashed and ate his homework - giving him a deep resentment of computers to this day. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today Glenn discusses 2 different federal cases. First he talks about Hunter Biden reaching a deal with federal prosecutors on charges he failed to pay federal income tax. Glenn explains paying taxes late happens with regularity and most people are NOT charged so the GOP's claim he got a sweetheart deal is unfounded. Then Glenn talks about Judge Aileen Cannon who has set a trial date for Donald Trump's classified documents case and it's much quicker than anyone expected. He makes his predictions about whether there will be delays and when the actual trial will occur.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, Glenn has some curious questions about Donald Trump's crimes and future indictments. First - Why wasn't there a search warrant conducted at Trump's Bedminster golf course? Second - Why hasn't Trump been charged for crimes at Bedminster in New Jersey? Third - Why is there only 1 co-conspirator: Walt Nauta? And Fourth - Will Jack Smith use Trump's own statements against him? He also discusses new evidence in the fake elector case.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, Glenn discusses the major concerns being raised regarding Judge Aileen Cannon presiding over Donald Trump's classified documents case in Florida. Legal experts agree Judge Cannon should recuse herself from the case. Glenn gives us the 3 main reasons why she should step down and recuse herself and if she doesn't - he believes Special Counsel Jack Smith should file a motion to have her do so.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time on our weekend podcast Glenn gives us the latest updates on Donald Trump's legal battles. First he discusses equal justice between rulings in similar cases. Is it fair if a poor person has to go to jail when a rich person charged with the same crime goes free? Then, Glenn gives us 3 reason why Judge Aileen Cannon should step away from Trump's classified documents case. And then finally some good news about the Trump trials: there was no riots or violence in the streets by his MAGA supporters during his 2 arraignments even though Trump called for protests and it appears from his latest indictment that not only Trump's attorneys are testifying against him - many of his Mar-a-Lago employees have flipped and are spilling the beans on him as well.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time Glenn discusses Trump's arraigned in Miami as many people wonder if he was treated with kid gloves in court. He also explains the reason he thinks Trump wasn't detained and placed in jail. Then, Glenn talks about another person who was arrested for the same charges as Trump - but was treated much differently. He asks if that's fair and if this is equal justice for the powerful and the powerless?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time the discussion is about Judge Aileen Cannon and the impact she could have on Trump's classified documents case. Glenn wonders if she will favor Trump as she did last fall when a Special Master was appointed to the case. Legal scholars are saying Judge Cannon should recuse herself due to her past controversial rulings and her appointment to the bench by Trump himself. Glenn explains there are a few ways that could happen.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today Glenn tells us some interesting details he found reading through the indictment of Donald Trump and his co-defendant Walt Nauta. He gives us more info spelled out by Special Counsel Jack Smith of what Trump did with classified documents. Glenn explains the specifics in the recently unsealed federal indictment against Trump and tells where the classified documents were kept and how Trump attempted to mislead the FBI about what he had.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today Glenn talks about the indictment of Donald Trump in the classified documents investigation. First he explains why Trump will be tried in Florida. Many people are surprised the classified documents case will be tried in there and not in the nation's capital even though witnesses testified before a Grand Jury in Washington D.C. Then. he discusses Trump's public narrative about his innocence. He seems to have his defense ready to go on why he took classified documents to his Florida home. Glenn tells why this won't hold up in court. And winding it up - he runs down the hypotheticals and wonders what if Donald Trump becomes president again and how will he be able to manipulate his legal situation if he wins the election. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donald Trump's attorneys met with Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team as they decide whether to charge him in the classified documents probe. Glenn wonders if they are trying to plea bargain. Then, he talks about Donald Trump's former Chief of Staff - Mark Meadows. New reports say he has testified to the Grand Jury in Jack Smith's investigation of Trump. Glenn speculates on whether he was given an immunity deal to secure his testimony against Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One of Donald Trump's lawyers - Evan Corcoran - recorded a voice memo about his representation with Trump in the classified documents case. The recordings provided insight into Corcoran's first meeting with the ex-president last year when he advised Trump to comply with the Justice Department subpoena seeking the return of all classified materials in the former president's possession. Glenn says the recordings hold important evidence for Special Counsel Jack Smith to use against Trump during his inevitable upcoming trial. Then Glenn explains there are other reasons to make this type of recording. It's possible Evan Corcoran may need them to defend himself against false accusations from Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Federal prosecutors claim they have a recording of Donald Trump acknowledging that he kept and shared a classified military document about Iran. Glenn wonders how the D.O.J. can avoid indicting him and expect others to keep our nation's secret documents - a secret? Then, Glenn gives us three legal stories. First: the recording of Donald Trump discussing a classified military document on Iran is missing according to his lawyers. So what happened to that document? Second: Georgia D.A. Fani Willis has now broadened her case to include Washington DC and several other states. Does this mean new and bigger charges are coming? And third: former Vice President Mike Pence will not be charged in the discovery of classified documents at his Indiana home according to the Department of Justice. Glenn points out the big differences between Trump and Pence as far as classified documents in their possession. One of them did it by accident - the other on purpose.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this long form weekend podcast - Glenn starts off by discussing the new reporting that Donald Trump was caught on tape discussing documents he took from the White House that were still classified. This dispels Trump's excuse that his documents were all declassified. Then, Glenn wonders about the sudden rush of Republican politicians that are throwing their names into the 2024 presidential hat. Are they thinking they now have a chance because Trump is going down in flames? Next recap story is about the planned "Pardon Palooza" with Trump and DeSantis promising if they are elected they will pardon all J6 convictions. Then, Glenn puts together the many new nuggets of evidence that the Department of Justice is gathering on the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. The odds of Trump being indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith are growing each day. And lastly, Glenn talks about how he thinks we can reform the criminal justice system. Many larger companies and corporations seem to get away with crimes while the lower level common people seem to always pay the price. How can we even the score?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today - Glenn gives us an update on the various trials of Donald Trump including the Georgia 2020 Election Tampering case, the continuing E. Jean Carroll Assault and Defamation case, and the New York Stormy Daniels Hush-money case. Then - Glenn puts together the many new puzzle pieces of Trump's Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Employees at Mar-a-Lago have been helping Federal prosecutors piece together the steps Donald Trump took to remove classified documents from a storage room after he received a subpoena for them. Glenn prepares mock closing arguments for the jury to hear if he were the prosecutor trying the case against Trump. Next, Glenn discusses Oath Keeper Leader Elmer Stuart Rhodes being sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy. Then, he talks about Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis who are now saying if they are elected in 2024 - they will give pardons to people who were convicted in the January 6th insurrection. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Many of Donald Trump's lawyers have quit and are speaking out. Glenn says some of his attorneys are now predicting what will happen to Trump in the near future. And current attorneys for Trump have sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland saying that special counsel Jack Smith is unfair and asking for a meeting. Glenn reads through the lines and analyzes the timing of the letter as an indicator how fast the case is moving.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today Glenn gives his podcast outdoors while on vacation. First up - he untangles the knotted mess of Donald Trump's numerous lawyers. With so many lawyers and so many cases it's hard to keep track of who's who - and what attorneys are in and out. Then, Glenn defines a few words you might need to know when the Trump indictments start pouring in. He explains evidentiary standards including probable cause. And finally, the standards which jurors must use to decide a verdict are different depending on the case. Glenn explains what probable cause actually means vs beyond a reasonable doubt.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week - Glenn is on vacation but he recorded a special interview while he is away with stand-up comedian and comedy writer Buddy Winston. Buddy has been using humor to fight for decency, fairness, and justice in today's America. He began as a stand-up comedian, then became a monologue writer for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" for many years. They discuss how he got his start in comedy, the difficulty of writing Trump jokes, and why a sitting president should be indicted.Look for these books by Buddy Winston:"An Out Of Buddy Experience: Tonight Show Writer Eludes Monk Assassins""Trumping Frumpf: Unwinning Is Never Easy"For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise shop, please visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at: https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerAnd check out my website at glennkirschner.comFollow me on:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, Glenn reads Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis' response to Donald Trump's attempt to disrupt her probe into his tampering of the 2020 election. Trump's motion is trying to get her fired, get the judge to be recused, and quash the special grand jury report. Glenn explains how she trashes Trump's motion. Then a new lawsuit brought by Noelle Dunphy (who is suing Rudy Giuliani for sexual assault and back pay) alleges that Giuliani sold presidential pardons for 2 million dollars each and split the money with Donald Trump. Glenn reads off her evidence and takes apart any defense Giuliani might try to wriggle out on.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The podcast today features 2 congressional committee hearings > one from the left and one from the right. First, Glenn discusses Mark Pomerantz. He's the former prosecutor who once oversaw the Manhattan D.A's investigation into former president Donald Trump's New York crimes. Glenn tells us he has now testified to the House Judiciary Committee, but things didn't work out for Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan. Next Glenn talks about the Republican billionaire mega donor Harlan Crow who has been lavishing expensive gifts and benefits to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Crow wrote a letter saying he is refusing to cooperate with Senate Democrats for information on what gifts he has given to Justice Thomas. Glenn explains why his plan to stonewall them won't work.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Glenn discusses the televised Town Hall meeting on CNN where Donald Trump let loose and spoke his mind during the broadcast. Glenn explains Trump is most likely giving prosecutors more evidence for their probe. Then Glenn talks about the Stormy Daniels hush money case. New York Judge Juan Merchan is ordering Trump to appear before him so he can explain his protective order which bars him from saying or doing certain things about the case.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In his longform weekend podcast - Glenn discusses government reform and he runs down the legal recap of the week. First he talks about the big win for E. Jean Carroll in her sexual assault and defamation case. Trump was ordered to pay nearly 5 millions dollars to her. Then New York judge Juan Merchan placed some restrictions on what Donald Trump can say - can't say - and can't do regarding the Stormy Daniels case. Glenn thinks he will defy the judge. Next he talks about a surprising interview with Trump's former Attorney General. Fox News host Geraldo Rivera asked Bill Barr if Donald Trump is fit to be in the White House and shockingly - Barr told the truth. Then wrapping up the legal recap - Glenn points out the many crimes of Rep. George Santos now that he has finally been indicted and he gives CNN grief for giving Trump a platform on their Town Hall. For the reform this week - we return to the idea of how to approach timely accountability as far as the Department of Justice pressing charges against famous or wealthy criminals with no delays. And finally a listener writes in and it prompts Glenn to give a story from his college years then he explains how he learned that failure can actually be a good thing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Glenn talks about Fox News host Geraldo Rivera asking former Attorney General Bill Barr if Donald Trump is fit for the White House. Glenn says it looks like Trump's flunkies around starting to turn against him. Then, accountability is FINALLY shining through the clouds. Teflon Don has lost his nickname. A New York jury has found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation in the E Jean Carroll case. Now that Ms. Carroll has broken the ice - will other people file civil suits against him?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Glenn discusses a new report that claims there's a mole inside Mar-a-Lago that's giving Special Counsel Jack Smith pictures and important information on Donald Trump and the classified documents in question. Then, just as Glenn predicted, a judge in New York has finally put up some guardrails around Donald Trump's big mouth - restricting what he can say and do as far as evidence in the Stormy Daniels hush-money case. Glenn unpacks the judges order step by step to explain how much the former president can see or do with the evidence in the case and how he's specifically blocked from sharing it to others and on social media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today Glenn talks about former Trump attorney Rudy Guiliani telling the court he is too broke to search for documents in the Ruby Freeman/ Shaye Moss lawsuit case. Next he discusses E Jean Carroll's rape and defamation civil case which has rested with no Trump defense. And finally Special Counsel Jack Smith sat in on the Federal Grand Jury during the Mike Pence testimony and Glenn says Smith’s appearance is the first known time the special counsel has attended a grand jury proceeding in the investigation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Once again this longform weekend podcast starts off with the legal recap of the week. Glenn begins with good news for those hoping for accountability in the January 6th attack at the Capitol as we learn the final results in the Proud Boys trial. He explains why this guilty verdict is so important. Then as Donald Trump's sexual assault and defamation trial in New York sets up for closing arguments - Glenn weighs the evidence presented and tells us what he thinks about the trial so far and what the jury will find. Next, a new report by ProPublica shows even more financial indiscretions by Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni. Glenn says the credibility of the Supreme Court has been compromised but there may be a way to charge justices who break the law so they won't be above the law. Finally, Glenn explains what you can do to fight for accountability by helping to change laws. He also tells how you can become a part of Team Justice and how you can see him appearing live in person. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time Glenn analyzes Joe Tacopina - Donald Trump's lawyer in the E. Jean Carroll rape trial. He asked for a mistrial but was denied by Judge Lewis Kaplan. He complained the judge was being unfair by limiting the scope of questions he could ask. Then Glenn talks about the fate of 5 Proud Boys who are charged with various crimes in connection with the January 6th riots. They jurors who are still deliberating sent a note to the judge asking about the seditious conspiracy charge. Glenn explains even if the jury is hung - they will get another trial and another chance to flip on other insurrectionists. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today - Glenn discusses the Proud Boys trial and tells us some of the interesting, ridiculous, and important arguments their defense attorneys made to the jury. Then Glenn untangles the many legal cases pending against defendant Donald Trump. He makes reference to the Mueller Report noting - there was enough evidence back then to charge Donald Trump with obstruction but the GOP continues to bow to their donors and destroy their honor and integrity by putting blinders on for their demigod. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mike Pence has finally testified to the grand jury about the Capitol riots and election meddling on January 6th. Glenn explains how crucial this is in Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation. Then he talks about Trump embracing a QAnon supporter (who had served time as a January 6th rioter) while he was have dinner during a campaign stop in New Hampshire. Glenn wonders if he is aiding and abetting insurrectionists.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In Glenn's longform weekend podcast he talks about reform of the executive branch to make other branches accountable and the legal recap stories of the week. First up - The firing of Tucker Carlson from Fox News and the testimony of Mike Pence to the grand jury about the January 6th insurrection. Then - the most frustrating story of the week as Donald Trump continues to post insults, threats, and demeaning comments about people who are involved in his New York trials. Glenn wonders - shouldn't the judges issue a Gag Order to protect jurors, prosecutors, and their families? Next Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has withdrawn his appeal to block former New York prosecutor Mark Pomerantz from testifying to the House Judiciary Committee about his investigation of Donald Trump. But it seems Bragg now has a way to make sure no damaging information is revealed to the committee. And finally, in this week's segment on reform - Senator Ted Cruz was recorded with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo discussing how to rig the 2020 election for Donald Trump and Justice Clarence Thomas has been caught accepting luxury gifts and real estate without reporting them. Glenn explains how we should check and balance the judicial and legislative branches of our government to make them accountable.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today - Glenn takes on 2 trials of Donald Trump. First he discusses New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg who has asked a judge to bar Donald Trump from using evidence from his criminal case to attack witnesses, citing what they say is the former president's history of making “harassing, embarrassing, and threatening statements” about people he's tangled with in legal disputes. Next he debates Trump's civil case with E Jean Carroll who alleges he raped her in the 1990s. The judge has now ordered the jury to hide their identities from each other for protection against Trump's bullying and his supporters threats.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With former New York prosecutor Mark Pomerantz preparing to testify to Jim Jordan's House Judiciary Committee about the ongoing Trump hush-money case on May 12th - Glenn has a few suggestions for Pomerantz on what his opening statement to Jordan should be. Then the firing of Tucker Carlson from Fox News AND the announcement by D.A. Fani Willis that indictments in the Georgia 2020 election tampering case are expected in July or August are a double dose of good news for those who are waiting for accountability. Glenn explains the request for police protection in Georgia is a tell that some big names will be indicted this summer.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today Glenn talks about Fulton County Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis who says she is hoping to disqualify an attorney due to misconduct. Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow, who represents 10 fake electors in Willis' 2020 election tampering probe, is accused of failing to notify her clients of potential immunity deals after they were offered last summer. Then Glenn discusses Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg who is now agreeing to let former New York prosecutor Mark Pomerantz testify about the ongoing Donald Trump hush-money case to Jim Jordan's House Judiciary Committee. According to Glenn - Bragg has this under control.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this long-form weekend podcast - Glenn discusses legal reform and the legal recap of the week. First up: Glenn talks about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He's under fire after accepting luxury gifts and real estate from a billionaire GOP donor. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin is now asking Chief Justice John Roberts to testify about ethics on May 2nd but will Roberts show up? Then he discusses the Dominion defamation lawsuit against Fox News. It has been settled for 3 quarters of a billion dollars but Smartmatic voting systems and others are also suing Fox. Will any of them make it to trial? Next he talks about Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg who has filed a lawsuit to stop Congressman Jim Jordan from talking with N.Y. Prosecutor Mark Pomerantz about his investigation of Donald Trump. A Trump appointed judge had denied Braggs request but then a federal appeals court issued an administrative stay temporarily blocking the deposition. Next Glenn speaks about reform. With recent mass shootings becoming more frequent and MAGA extremists shooting random people they feel is a threat - Glenn wonders -Is there something President Biden can do to stop the bloodshed? And lastly he discusses criminal reform. Prosecutors have not many options when they are faced with a decision on whether they should charge someone with a crime. Glenn explains there have been some success stories with diversion programs that can lessen the incarceration rate and actually help former criminals onto the right path and not back to jail.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time Glenn discusses Fox News and their last-minute settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. Fox has agreed to pay one of the largest known defamation settlements in U.S. history. Glenn ponders: was justice actually achieved? Then he explains - Fox's troubles are not over. There are other lawsuits pending against them, like the one being brought by Smartmatic, another voting technology company, as well as a former Fox News producer and at least one Fox shareholder.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time - Glenn discusses Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who is facing intense scrutiny after accepting luxury gifts and real estate from a billionaire GOP donor. Glenn wonders if he will face any justice. Then he talks about Donald Trump going to trial in New York on April 25th for assault and defamation of E. Jean Carroll. She claims he raped her in a department store dressing room back in the 90s. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today Glenn discusses yet another deposition for Donald Trump in New York. This time it was for his civil fraud case brought by AG Laticia James. He wonders if Trump talked during his deposition - did he give Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg some new evidence for the Hush Money case? Then Glenn talks about the report that Special Counsel Jack Smith is now looking into whether Donald Trump has committed possible wire fraud and other crimes while he was in office. Could Trump's fund-raising emails be a whole new entrée on the indictment menu?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's the weekend and Glenn gives us his legal recap of the week - starting off with Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg suing Congressman Jim Jordan for disrupting his investigation of defendant Trump in the Stormy Daniels hush-money case. Then he discusses Trump answering questions during his deposition to Attorney General Laticia James in the New York civil fraud case. Glenn wonders if Trump talked during his deposition - did he lie under oath and commit perjury? Next, Glenn says it's even more LOSING for Trump as a judge once again denies his request to learn the identity of his own jury in the E Jean Carroll rape case. The judge says he will protect the people in his court. And finally Glenn discusses judicial reform - specifically with the justices on the Supreme Court. He explains how can we hold them accountable and questions if there be a probe into the secret luxury trips and gifts NOT reported by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Glenn discusses the suit brought by Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg to stop House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan - who recently subpoenaed a former prosecutor in the Donald Trump Hush-money case. This means House Republicans will have to defend their interference in court. Then he talks about Jim Jordan's phony hearing in New York on violent crime noting it's a publicity stunt. In reality, the hearing is a thinly veiled attempt to undermine Manhattan D. A. Alvin Bragg’s criminal case against Donald Trump. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bad news for Donald Trump who is continuing his attempts to intimidate N.Y. District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Judge Juan Merchan, and their families. They aren't taking it lightly. Glenn wonders if or when the judge will issue a gag order to force him to stop. Then Glenn discusses 3 Trump stories: 1. A longshot, futile appeal was filed by Trump who is still trying to block former VP Mike Pence from testifying in the election meddling case. 2. Trump asks the judge in the E Jean Carrol case to reconsider his decision on letting him know the names of the jury. 3. Former Trump A.G Bill Barr says the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case is the strongest with "very good evidence".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time Glenn talks about the latest effort from House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan as he is again trying to obstruct the New York State prosecution of Donald Trump. The he discusses the ramifications after ProPublica outed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for taking millions of dollars in luxury trips and accommodations from a hard-right Republican billionaire and failing to report them, as required, on his public financial disclosure forms. Glenn wonders: he breaking the law and if so who will prosecute him?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
