Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Federal judges and the federal courts are clearly getting fed up with the Trump Administration's continued abusive conduct in relation to its immigration enforcement practices. A federal judge in Chicago, Judge Sara Ellis, just ordered the Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino to appear in her courtroom DAILY for the next week, after he was caught on video casually lobbing a tear gas canister into a crowd of protestors that posed no imminent threat to officers. But even more important than today's ruling, was the fact that Judge Ellis citied as evidence videos that had been sent to her by members of the public documenting abusive acts by federal officers. This is an important reminder of the power the people have to record, document, and turn over to the authorities, including the courts, these powerful images.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has put a temporary pause on Donald Trump's ability to send National Guard troops into the streets of Portland, Oregon. The court issued the stay or pause while it decides if the full appeals court (sitting en banc) will review a lower court ruling allowing Trump to militarize the streets of Portland.The incessant back and forth between and among the trial courts, the appeals courts, and the Supreme Court - is enough to make folks throw up their hands at the complete injustice of it all. Glenn discusses how the endless legal back and forth regarding Trump's abuse of presidential power and his determination to weaponize the streets of America is beginning to feel like the highest stakes and most dangerous game of tennis imaginable.

New York Attorney General Letitia James was arraigned in her bank fraud case. Donald Trump had directed his unqualified US Attorney, Lindsey Halligan, to bring those charges against James. Glenn attended the hearing in federal court in Norfolk, Virginia. He gives 2 reports from the courthouse - one before and also one after the arraignment hearing.For Glenn's Substack: hhtps://glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donald Trump had his unqualified US Attorney - Lindsey Halligan vindictively indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on what appears to be trumped-up back fraud charges. In a bizarre new development, Halligan reached out to reported Anna Bowen on a disappearing Signal chat app and discussed aspects of the James matter. In a recurring series called The Prosecutors' Verdict, Glenn sits down with former career prosecutor Kevin Flynn to discuss this strange development, and preview James' first court appearance - the arraignment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Several Senate Republicans have now stood up to Donald Trump by REJECTING his nominee to head up the Office of Special Counsel. This is the second time in recent weeks Senate Republicans have said no to Trump nominees. Moreover, even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has broken from Trump over the release of the Epstein files and the need for affordable health care. These are clear and compelling signs that Trump is getting weaker by the day.

Donald Trump's US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, failed to convince three grand juries to bring felony charges against a woman named Sydney Lori Reid for allegedly assaulting a law enforcement officer during immigration enforcement operations. Undeterred by the grand jury's repeated rejection of criminal charges, Pirro directed her prosecutors to charge Ms. Reid with a misdemeanor crime. In a direct repudiation of Pirro's prosecutorial overreach, a jury - sitting as the conscience of the community, - has found Ms. Reid NOT GUILTY! This result reinforces that, whether it's 23 people in a private grand jury room, 12 people in a jury box in a public courtroom, or seven million people in the streets of American protesting against Trump's tyranny, IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE POWER!

Donald Trump's Department of Justice has indicted another of Trump's enemies. John Bolton, Trump's former National Security Advisor, has been indicted on 18 felony counts for allegedly unlawfully transmitting and retaining national defense information.Glenn summarizes the charges in the Bolton indictment and discusses the validity and strength of a potential motion to dismiss based on vindictive prosecution.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trump's unqualified US Attorney, Lindsey Halligan, and the two prosecutors she brought in from the North Carolina US Attorney's Office are showcasing their incompetence in the way they are handling the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey. Not only did the presiding judge just rule against the prosecution in the first contested issue in the case, but the DOJ prosecutors may have given Comey and his defense team even more ammunition for their motion to dismiss based on vindictive and selective prosecution. Glenn discusses the new ruling from Judge Nachmanoff, and why the footnote the judge dropped in his order exposes the selective nature of the Comey prosecution.

In a continuation of his revenge tour, Donald Trump had his unqualified US Attorney Lindsey Halligan indict yet another of Trump's enemies. First, it was a vindictive indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. Now, Trump has orchestrated the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James. Glenn analyses this new indictment and exposes one of the reasons it doesn't withstand factual or legal scrutiny.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yet another federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump is prohibited from deploying troops to the streets of an American city. Judge April Perry said that the Trump administration is offering her "unreliable evidence", adding that Trump's directives "violate the Constitution" and "only add fuel to the fire that they (Trump and company) themselves have started."Judge Perry ruled that Trump is "enjoined (prohibited) from ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois."Judge Perry' rulings now stand alongside similar rulings from other judges prohibiting Trump from sending National Guard troops into Oregon, and finding that Trump's deployment of troops to the streets of L.A. was illegal.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Resisting pressure from Donald Trump, a career prosecutor has concluded that there is no probable cause to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud.Assistant United States Attorney Elizabeth Yusi has worked at the Department of Justice for more than 18 years. And now she will run the risk of being wrongfully terminated by Trump for abiding her ethical responsibility to decline to prosecute someone based on insufficient evidence that a crime was committed.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Federal judges are proving, over and over again, that the pen (the judicial pen) is mightier than the sword.Glenn discusses the temporary restraining order issued by Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, prohibiting Trump from federalizing the Oregon National Guard and sending them into Portland. And, when Trump tried to violate the court's order by sending the California National Guard or the Texas National Guard to Portland, Judge Immergut issued a second restraining order, in the middle of the night, prohibiting those deployments as well.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two new court rulings and opinions show that federal judges continue to remain loyal to the rule of law and are willing to expose and rule against Trump and his DOJ's unconstitutional conduct.In one case, a federal appeals court ruled that it's an easy legal call to conclude that Trumps' attempt "to deny Americans their birthright" is unconstitutional.In a second case, a trial court judge ruled that the evidenced shows a "realistic likelihood" that Trump's DOJ is vindictively prosecuting Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and the judge ordered discovery on the issue.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kari Lake is a failed politician. She ran for governor of Arizona and lost. She ran for the United State Senate and lost. She was successfully sued for defamation and was forced to settle. She has pushed the lie that Trump won the 2020 presidential election. So of course, Trump made her senior advisor to the U.S. Agency for Global Media. And now, Kari Lake is a defendant in a case being presided over by DC Federal District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee. As Politico reported, "Judge pauses cuts to US Agency for Global Media: Judge Royce Lamberth said the agency's 'concerning disrespect' for court orders under the leadership of Kari Lake would justify contempt proceedings." Glenn reviews this legal development, and he discusses whether Kari Lake may be heading for contempt charges.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a deranged, demeaning, and dangerous speech to our nation's military leadership - officer and enlisted alike - Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump may have thought they could inspire the men and women of the military to switch their loyalties from the Constitution to a tyrant. They were dead wrong.The danger and dementia of Donald Trump was on full display as he addressed the leadership of America's armed forces. Trump tried to pit the military against the citizenry by saying the military should focus on "the enemy within." And he told them that they should use American cities as military "training grounds."If there was any lingering question about Trump unfitness to be commander in chief of the armed forces, he cleared that up with a speech that was as un-American as it was dangerous.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Oregon has sued Donald Trump to stop him from deploying military members to the streets of Portland.Given that a federal judge in California has already ruled that Trump violated federal law when he did virtually the same thing in Los Angeles, this makes it clear that Trump's decision to do it again, this time in Portland, is a knowing, intentional, flagrant, and unapologetic violation of federal law. Donald Trump is pitting American citizen against American citizen, soldiers against civilians, military members against members of the Portland community. It seems beyond dispute that he is trying to orchestrate a civil war, where there is no cause for one, no reason for one, and no exigency that needs to be addressed. He's creating civil unrest, he's encouraging chaos, he's inspiring division, and one can reasonably infer he is goading, and even hoping for violence.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The vindictive indictment of former FBI Director James Comey spells the end of the legitimacy of Donald Trump and Pam Bondi's Department of Justice.

Shortly after his inauguration for his second term, Trump named Erik Siebert to be the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA). Siebert then spent months investigating New York Attorney General Leticia James and former FBI Director James Comey. Apparently finding no evidence supporting criminal charges, Siebert refused to indict those two Trump enemies.A furious Trump then erupted on social media demanding prosecutions of his enemies. Siebert resigned and Trump named an insurance lawyer and former beauty pageant contestant, Lindsay Halligan, as the new US Attorney for EDVA. And it now looks like Halligan may actually try to indict James Comey for allegedly lying to congress five years ago.The question is: Can Halligan find a federal prosecutor unethical enough to indict Comey, simply because Trump is demanding an indictment? Glenn explains the likely consequences and results of that vindictive prosecution.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a social media post that's more befitting of Kim Jong Un, Trump directed Pam Bondi to prosecute his enemies "NOW!!!"

After Disney and ABC felt the economic pressure and changed course, agreeing to put Jimmy Kimmel back on air, Sinclair and Nexstar stepped in and said they would not allow their ABC affiliate stations to air Kimmel's show.As the BBC reported, Nexstar and Sinclair, which together run dozens of stations affiliated to ABC, said they would continue to replace the (Kimmel) show with regular programming Tuesday. But the people who believe in the free speech protection of the First Amendment can use their economic power to impact this decision.If people tune in to their local ABC station at 11:30 pm, and see that the station is NOT airing the show, then make a note of all the advertisers running commercials on the replacement show and don't support them..Conversely, if you see your local ABC affiliate IS airing Kimmel, make a note of the advertisers running commercials on during Kimmel and SUPPORT those advertisers and products. This is how we can wield our economic power in support of free speech and against a lawless Trump regime.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a four-page court order that is one for the ages, Judge Steven Merryday "struck" for the record Donald Trump's complaint that he filed in his absurd $15 billion defamation suit against The New York Times.Judge Merryday, appointed to the federal bench by President George H.W. Bush. eviscerates Trump's legal filing, saying it does not comport with the Rules of Civil Procedure. The judge notes: "The reader must endure an allegation of 'the desperate need to defame with a partisan spear rather than report with an authentic looking glass' and an allegation that 'the false narrative about 'The Apprentice' was just the tip of Defendants' melting iceberg of falsehoods.' Similarly, in one of many, often repetitive, and laudatory (toward President Trump) but superfluous allegations, the pleader states, 'The Apprentice' represented the cultural magnitude of President Trump's singular brilliance...'"So, yeah, the judge threw out the blathering, bloviating, nonsensical pleading, and gave Trump's lawyers 28 days to try to do it right, in accordance with the rules of procedure.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In an unsurprising abuse of presidential power, ABC News reported: "Trump officials pressuring prosecutors to bring criminal charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James". and "Trump himself has pressured the Department of Justice leadership to investigate James more aggressively (and two Trump officials) have pushed the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia to seek an indictment of James." This pressure to indict her is being applied, notwithstanding the fact that there is not "sufficient evidence supporting such charges".

Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment's free speech rights. However, Attorney General Pam Bondi, either not knowing or not caring about this constitutional protection, expressly threatened to use the powers of the Department of Justice to "target" people who engage in hate speech. What's worse, when she tried to issue what some have called a "walk back", she neither corrected nor retracted her initial constitutional blunder.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Trump administration unlawfully and unconstitutionally fired federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, daughter of Trump's avowed enemy, former FBI Director James Comey.Maurene Comey successfully prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell and was prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein until he turned up dead in a jail cell. She knows precisely what's in the Epstein files.Is it a coincidence that Trump and Pam Bondi fired her just six days before Trump's former criminal defense attorney, now his deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche posted that he is going to interview Maxwell about Jeffrey Epstein?She's has now sued Bondi, DOJ, and the office of the presidency for her unlawful and unconstitutional firing.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two legal developments highlight how and why Kash Patel is dangerously unfit to lead the FBI. He badly bungled the Charlie Kirk investigation, wrongly announcing that they had the shooter in custody when they didn't - they had the WRONG guy in custody. Glenn discusses how this horrific mistake by the Director of the FBI will give the actual gunman what's called a "third-party perpetrator" defense at trial.In a second development, Kash Patel is being sued for unlawfully firing three of our nation's most experienced and accomplished FBI Special Agents and officials. The court filings set out that Patel said he KNEW the firings were unlawful but that he needed to fire those agents if he wanted to keep his job. This is the exact opposite of leadership.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's hard to believe some of the stories of deceit and corruption by Donald Trump and Pam Bondi's DOJ officials and attorneys are real. But as Politico just reported: "DOJ backs off claims about Guatemalan children it sought to deport".The case involves parents who were located in Guatemala but who had children in the United States. In a staggering display of lying to a court, a DOJ attorney named Drew Ensign told a judge that "all of the parents and guardians" in Guatemala wanted their children deported from the US back to Guatemala.It turns out that NONE of the parents and guardians of children said any such thing. Indeed, a subsequent DOJ attorney who appeared in the case withdrew and retracted the false statement.Glenn discusses this legal development and suggests that the court take action to hold Ensign accountable for providing false information to the court in an apparent effort to trample the due process rights of Guatemalan children.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trump has declared a state of emergency in DC in his dictatorial zeal to militarize the streets of our nation's capital. However, the truth is that there IS NO EMERGENCY warranting Trump's declaration. In this podcast, Glenn speaks with someone who knows the streets of DC from policing there for 20 years. Former Metropolitan Police Officer Mike Fanone is not only one of the heroes who protected the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, but he also spent 20 years as an MPD officer serving the people of the District of Columbia. Mike and Glenn worked murder cases decades ago when he was a homicide prosecutor handling murder homicide cases in the courts of DC. Mike brings to the discussion an important perspective, as he was a DC cop when there was a LEGITIMATE crime emergency declaration in the 1990s. Mike explains how that situation was dramatically different from Trump's bogus emergency declaration.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Then, in response to a congressional subpoena, Epstein's estate turned over the so-called Epstein Birthday Book to Congress and, lo and behold, it contained a letter from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein.And more shoes are about to drop, as the lawyers for Epstein's estate have indicated that they will continue to produce documents to Congress on a rolling basis.Could the Epstein scandal be the thing that alienates Maga against Trump, turning the tide of the Trump presidency?For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Good and bad news on the legal front. The good news: E. Jean Carroll beats Trump in court for a fourth time. Trump will now need to pay Ms. Carroll a combined nearly $95 million in damages.The bad news: the radical right, six-justice majority of the Supreme Court decided - if you look a certain way, talk a certain way, and are a wage earner; the constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures don't really apply to you.

And a new court filing reveals what Fox News executives know about Jeanine Pirro, who Trump appointed to be the US Attorney for the District of Columbia.

Grand juries sit as the conscious of the community, making sure the charges brought by prosecutors are supported by the evidence AND acting as an important guardrail against prosecutorial overreach and abuse.It's very unusual for grand juries to refuse to indict a defendant on felony charges proposed by federal prosecutors. However, grand juries have now refused to indict SIX CASES presented to them by DC Attorney Jeanine Pirro.Pirro took to the Fox network to berate, demean, and disrespect the grand jurors of the District of Columbia.Glenn reviews Pirro's public condemnation of the grand jurors who are performing their civic duty, and also does a deep dive into the sacrifices D.C. residents have to make when they are called for for grand jury duty.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fox News Host turned top prosecutor in DC, Jeanine Pirro, engaged in gross prosecutorial overreach by urging multiple grand juries to charge protestors with felonies when the facts plainly warranted only misdemeanor charges.Fortunately, the grand jurors, sitting as the conscious of the community, refused to indict the protestors of felony crimes. So Pirro directs her prosecutors to charge the protesters with less series misdemeanor offenses.Given how Donald Trump treated the "protestors" who attacked the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021, versus how Trump's DOJ is currently treating these two protestors, Glenn says they'll have one heck of a selective prosecution defense at their misdemeanor trials.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On January 6, 2021, Ashley Babbitt was a rioter and insurrectionist who was shot as she attempted to climb through a busted window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker's Lobby as members of Congress were being evacuated from the US Capitol. While she was in the process of committing crimes by trying to breach the Capitol, she was shot and killed. Even though she was an Air Force veteran, Babbitt was rightfully denied military honors at her funeral . . . until now. The Air Force just reversed course (undoubtedly at the direction of Donald Trump), and will now give Babbitt full military honors. This horrific decision DISHONORS all of the men and women of the United States military, each of whom took an oath to protect the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's a rare occurrence when a grand jury refuses to indict a case that a prosecutor urges them to indict. Yet Donald Trump's US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, had grand juries tell her N0, they would NOT indict two protestors for assaulting police officers. In fact, those grand juries told here no FOUR TIMES!One of the protestors threw a sandwich at an officer and another reportedly stepped between a scuffle with officers who were trying to detain someone due to the person's immigration status.The grand jury sits as the conscious of the community and evaluates the evidence presented by the prosecutors to determine if there is enough evidence to indict someone on a felony charge.

A Trump-appointed Judge, Thomas Cullen, has thrown out the lawsuit Trump had his DOJ officials file against ALL federal trial court judges in Maryland when the Chief Judge instituted a two-day pause on deportations to give the judges enough time to see if the Trump administration was violating the legal or Constitutional rights of undocumented immigrants that were being detained pending deportation. In a 30-page opinion that The New York Times called "scathing," Judge Cullen wrote, "Over the past several months, principal officers of (Trump's) executive (and their spokespersons) have described federal district judges across the country as ‘left-wing,' ‘liberal,' ‘activists,' ‘radical,' ‘politically minded,' ‘rogue,' ‘unhinged,' ‘outrageous', 'overzealous', 'unconstitutional', 'crooked,' and worse. Although some tension between the coordinate branches of government is a hallmark of our constitutional system, this concerted effort by the executive to smear and impugn individual judges who rule against it is both unprecedented and unfortunate."Glenn discusses Judge Cullen's new court ruling and how the federal judiciary - including Trump-appointed judges - are trying to protect we the people from an abusive, corrupt and criminal president of the United States.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Abrego Garcia has fought the Trump administration multiple times and won. But Trump and company just can't quit violating Abrego's constitutional rights.After DOJ lawyers lost a motion to keep him detained in connection with his criminal case in Tennessee, Abrego was released from prison and traveled home to his family in Maryland. However, when he went to his immigration appointment on Monday, Trump's officials put him back in custody again. Even worse, DOJ lawyers threatened Abrego that, if he didn't plead guilty to the Trumped-up criminal charges in Tennessee, they would deport him to Uganda. But if he did plead guilty (to crimes he says he didn't commit), then they would deport him to Costa Rica, where he would live as a free man.Glenn says: This kind of threat is both vindictive and violative of constitutional due process guarantees.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donald Trump is forever threatening to prosecute his enemies: Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Leticia James, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, Christopher Krebs, Miles Taylor, John Brennan, James Comey and on and on and on. Yet none of these individuals have been criminally charged. There are several reasons for the lack of criminal charges. One reason - there is a complete absence of evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the people on Trump's enemies list. Another reason - if Trump's DOJ tried to prosecute any of these people, they likely would have a strong "vindictive prosecution" defense. The most recent focus of Trump's revenge is Senator Adam Schiff. Glenn discusses why Sen. Schiff would have a strong vindictive prosecution claim in the event Pam Bondi was foolish enough, reckless enough, or unethical enough to bring criminal charges against Schiff.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A third federal judge has denied Pam Bondi's motion to unseal the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury transcripts. Just as other judges had pointed out, Judge Richard Berman said Trump's DOJ is engaged in a "diversion" by seeking to have a judge unseal a grand jury transcript that has no new information in it while DOJ has the power and authority to release the Epstein files, which it previously promised the public it would do. Glenn reviews Judge Berman's new court filing and highlights why Trump and Bondi are trying to give the illusion of transparency while actually hiding the Epstein files from the public.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Given that the Trump Administration has been involved in resisting, if not outright defying, federal court orders early and often, it may come as a surprise that they have complied with a court order requiring them to obey a federal law designed to promote transparency in how Trump and company are spending ("apportioning") our taxpayer dollars.Glenn discusses the legal challenges brought by two pro-democracy nonprofit organizations - Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and Protect Democracy, - to force the Trump administration with an important transparency law.Link to learn about and support CREW: https://www.citizensforethics.org/Link to learn about and support Protect Democracy: https://protectdemocracy.org/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
