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...If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a #TeamJustice patron at:https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerFor our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: 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.

On today's special episode of The Georgia Politics Podcast, Jason Shepherd joins the show to talk about last Tuesday's election results and the passing of long time AJC conservative columnist Jim Wooten. On Tuesday, Republicans suffered a set of defeats in Kentucky, Virginia and Ohio and narrowly won the governors race in Mississippi. This, after a lackluster result in 2022 and a series of defeats in special elections and ballot referenda since then. What gives? Are there issues with the candidates? Messages? Or is there something more fundamentally flawed with the Republican platform? Kennesaw State assistant professor and former chair of the Cobb County GOP joins the show to discuss. Also, Jim Wooten, a respected journalist and military veteran, passed away on October 29th. A University of Georgia graduate, he served in the U.S. Army and had a distinguished career at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Beyond his career, Wooten and his wife renovated the historic home of former Georgia governor Eugene Talmadge and he remained active in GOP politics across the state.

Recent reports reveal that a 34-year-old man, accused of issuing mortal threats against Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and her family, was apprehended by the FBI in a concerted effort with other law enforcement groups. The news was initially reported by local media in Atlanta, WSB-TV, which managed to secure an audio recording of a temperamental phone call from the accused to Greene's office. In the call, the man audaciously made threats against the congresswoman's life and the safety of her family. Making an initial pretense of being a donor, his words quickly escalated to a vitriolic rant. He chillingly warned that his intentions were to cause harm to the congresswoman and her loved ones in the imminent future. The news reports identified the alleged perpetrator as Sean Patrick Cirillo hailing from Macon, Georgia. As reported by Newsmax, Greene's own office confirmed Cirillo's identity. The man finds himself now embroiled in federal charges for employing an electronic device to facilitate his ill-intentioned threats. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution further contributed to the narrative, reporting that the arrest was carried out in Atlanta itself. It revealed that Cirillo's past was tinted with minor criminal charges, including one for vandalism and a DUI offense from approximately ten years prior. Furthermore, the investigation unearthed Cirillo's previous addresses in North Carolina and Florida available through public records.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell look at a New York Times/Siena College poll that is troubling news for President Biden's re-election. The poll shows Donald Trump leading President Biden in five of six battleground states that Biden won in 2020. The poll shows Trump ahead in Georgia by six points. Overall, the Times reports that Biden is losing support among Black, Hispanic and young voters in the six states polled. (The AJC is preparing a poll focused specifically on Georgia voters that will be released later this week.)   Plus, Michael Thurmond has been a public official for most of his career, serving in the legislature, as labor commissioner, interim superintendent of DeKalb schools and now CEO of DeKalb County. But he's long been mentioned as a potential candidate for governor. Will he decided to run for the job in 2026? He won't rule it out.   And, Israel's massive military response to the barbaric Hamas attack on Israel is becoming increasingly contentious among some members of Congress and beyond. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib drew for comments in which she said President Biden is supporting Israel's “genocide” against the Palestinian people. Georgia's Marjorie Taylor Greene, who lost a vote to censure Tlaib for alleged antisemitic remarks in the past, has refiled a censure motion based on Tlaib's most recent accusations. Olens and Thurmond discuss the balance between Israel's right to take strong action to wipe out Hamas and the need to treat innocent Palestinians in a humane manner.   Have a question for the show?
