Chief Judge Boesberg is not only strongly considering appointing a “private attorney” like Jack Smith to prosecute the Trump Administration's “willful” criminal contempt of court, but is now considering whether to retain jurisdiction over the case to make sure the undocumented are given the due process “notice” our Constitution demands, as Trump files an appeal of the court's contempt finding.

The last several days in Donald Trump's courtroom saga have been nothing short of remarkable. Just last year, after a landmark trial in New York, Trump became the first former president to be found guilty on criminal charges. The Manhattan jury convicted him on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records—charges stemming from the so-called “hush money” case, allegations that Trump covered up payments meant to influence the 2016 election. In a surprise decision, Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump on January 10, 2025, to an unconditional discharge, meaning Trump avoided jail time and probation. This outcome left supporters relieved but critics calling for more accountability, and, unsurprisingly, Trump used the moment to rally his political base, declaring vindication while vowing to continue his agenda.Meanwhile, in the federal courts, the legal tides shifted dramatically following Trump's return to the White House. The two high-profile federal criminal cases—one in Florida regarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, and another in Washington D.C. related to accusations of obstruction and conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election—were both dismissed soon after his inauguration. In Florida, Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment was improper, dismissing the indictment. The Justice Department eventually dropped its appeal, effectively ending prosecution in both the classified documents and obstruction matters. In D.C., Judge Tanya Chutkan granted a government motion to dismiss, closing the chapter on one of the most watched legal battles tied to January 6th.However, the courtrooms have not emptied. In the past month, drama erupted over President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act. The administration deported over 100 Venezuelan nationals, alleged gang members, to El Salvador, even as federal Judge James Boasberg ordered those planes turned back to the United States. Plaintiffs' lawyers argued Trump's team violated the judge's order, and Judge Boasberg himself accused the administration of “bad faith” for rushing removals before the courts could weigh in. Although the Supreme Court later allowed further deportations, citing jurisdictional issues, the episode inflamed debate about executive power and the rule of law.In parallel, President Trump has issued a flurry of executive orders, including directives to repeal regulations inconsistent with recent Supreme Court decisions, further polarizing the broader national conversation. Across the country, every courtroom appearance, filing, and headline ensures that the legal fights surrounding Donald Trump remain central to American life, driving both the news cycle and the ongoing political divide.

It has been a whirlwind few days following the legal twists and turns surrounding former President Donald Trump. Despite his re-election in 2024, a string of legal battles from his pre-presidential period continues to unfold, captivating the nation. The New York case, the first of these, has its roots in charges dating back to March 2023. Trump was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and by May 2024, a Manhattan jury found him guilty on all charges. However, in a surprising turn of events this January, Justice Juan Merchan sentenced him to "unconditional discharge," essentially sparing him prison time but leaving the conviction intact. Critics argue this leniency undercuts accountability, while supporters claim it reflects judicial fairness.Turning south, the Southern District of Florida case centered on classified documents Trump allegedly mishandled after leaving office. Initially charged with 32 counts of willfully retaining national defense information and several counts of obstruction and false statements, the case took a dramatic turn last summer. Judge Aileen Cannon, citing issues with the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith, dismissed the indictment. Although the Justice Department appealed, it eventually withdrew its challenge last fall, effectively dropping the case. This decision remains controversial, with pundits debating whether judicial missteps or political strategies were at play.In Washington, D.C., Trump's legal challenges included accusations of obstructing the certification of the 2020 election results. However, the Supreme Court intervened, sending the case back to the lower courts. By December 2024, the government moved to dismiss the charges, leading Trump's allies to claim vindication, while critics lamented what they see as yet another missed opportunity for justice.Meanwhile, in Fulton County, Georgia, Trump was charged alongside 18 others for attempting to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. This case, still active, is one to watch. Prosecutors in Georgia are determined to hold Trump accountable, but his legal team has mounted aggressive defenses.Beyond these cases, Trump's recent executive actions as president have sparked fresh legal disputes. His controversial initiatives, such as requiring undocumented immigrants to register or face penalties, and a directive bypassing the traditional public comment process to repeal regulations deemed unlawful, have been challenged in court. Advocacy groups argue these measures violate due process and constitutional principles, while Trump's administration claims they are necessary for national security and efficient governance.These trials and executive decisions are reshaping Trump's legacy, intertwining legal drama with political action. As the courts grapple with these cases, the nation waits, watching history unfold in real-time.

We open with a Friday favorite and that's Tara Bull's Top 10 News stories the Legacy/mainstream media likely didn't cover for you this week. We then dive into an interesting few stories that seems to indicate several investigations are underway. DNI Tulsi Gabbard mentioned evidence of voting machine hacks and manipulation. John Solomon discusses more evidence that the Biden White House coordinated their lawfare attacks on Trump with Jack Smith. In Senate testimony, there is work underway to see if the intelligence community and/or law enforcement were behind the violence of January 6. And, Trump signed an order stripping Chris Krebs of his clearance while an investigation is taking place regarding his involvement in the 2020 election integrity work he did. Peter Navarro is curious why the Legacy/mainstream media cannot find anything good to say about the Trump tariff strategy? Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) had to admit that the strategy worked better than he could have imagined. On the flipside, elitists on the Left wonder if the upending of the world economy is worth it just to create some HVAC jobs. The Space Force base commander in Greenland, Colonel Susan Meyers has been relieved of command for flagrant insubordination. We are learning the Biden regime buried information that dozens of U.S. military personnel contracted COVID-19 while on an exercise in Wuhan in late 2019, BEFORE the virus supposedly was even released. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) says food and homes cost so much because Trump is deporting all of the migrants who do those jobs. The Left really wants to keep the slave labor class intact, don't they? Finally, Gen Z'ers discover it is cheaper to brew their own coffee at home and Donald Trump wants Congress to keep the clocks where they are. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) has a bill to do just that.

House Oversight drops bombshell news that it has whistleblower proof that Biden's White House directly assisted Jack Smith's J6 probe into Trump that led to his "election interference" indictment.... and secretly obtained Trump's cell phone. The Supreme Court gives Trump another win and DOGE uncovers billions of dollars (and Medicaid assistance) going to millions of illegals who, yes, have voted in our elections.

The courtroom drama surrounding Donald Trump has remained at the forefront of public attention in recent days, offering a riveting glimpse into the legal crossroads of politics. As of today, April 7, 2025, the former president is enmeshed in various high-profile legal battles that range from past allegations to ongoing executive actions.Let's start with New York, where Trump's conviction for falsifying business records concluded earlier this year with a sentencing of unconditional discharge. It was a moment of legal history as a former president was held accountable on 34 felony charges tied to altering financial documents in an effort to obscure hush money payments. The battle began back in 2023 and reached a dramatic climax last May when a Manhattan jury delivered its verdict. Though the sentencing was lenient, the conviction itself is a landmark.Meanwhile, in Florida, the prosecution's case against Trump for mishandling classified national defense documents faced a stunning reversal. Originally, Trump was accused of willfully retaining sensitive materials and obstructing justice. However, in July 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed federal charges, citing improper actions by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Although the Department of Justice fought to reinstate the case, federal appeals ultimately sided with the defense by year's end, effectively closing this chapter.Washington, D.C., adds another layer of complexity. Trump was indicted for his alleged role in obstructing the certification of the 2020 election results, marking one of the most politically charged cases against him. Though the trial date initially set for March 2024 was delayed amid debates over presidential immunity, the prosecution ultimately dropped the charges last December, a quiet conclusion to what many expected to be a sensational case.In Fulton County, Georgia, Trump faces yet another legal storm. Here, he and several co-defendants were charged with conspiracy related to efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. While much of the legal wrangling remains preliminary, this case could resurface with significant consequences as the calendar advances.Beyond the courtroom, Trump's presidency continues to spark legal challenges related to his controversial policies. Specifically, his executive orders targeting sanctuary cities and his expansion of migrant deportations have ignited fierce litigation nationwide. Cities from Massachusetts to California are challenging the legality of his administration's sweeping immigration measures, spotlighting the ongoing tension between federal and local powers.Trump's legal saga underscores how the intersection of law and politics can reshape not only the lives of individuals but the very fabric of governance. For now, the nation watches, waits, and anticipates what the next turn in this judicial odyssey will bring.

It's been another intense week in the saga of Donald Trump's legal battles, each unfolding like chapters in a courtroom drama. Just a few days ago, on Monday, the former president's legal team appeared in a Manhattan court to address remaining issues surrounding his January sentencing in the New York criminal case. This was the one where Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records—specifically tied to hush money payments leading up to the 2016 election. He had been sentenced to unconditional discharge, a legal slap on the wrist, but prosecutors are still working on related investigations.Meanwhile, in Georgia, the much-discussed Fulton County case against Trump and 18 other defendants is also making headlines. The case revolves around alleged attempts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. Although Trump's lawyers have so far been successful in delaying proceedings, the court is steadily preparing to move forward, and new pre-trial motions were filed earlier this week. This RICO case, as it's called, also ensnares figures like former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and attorney Rudy Giuliani.On the federal front, a whirlwind of dismissals has defined Trump's recent months. The Washington, D.C., case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, which charged Trump with conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and defraud the United States, was dismissed late last year. Similarly, the federal case in Florida concerning mishandling of classified documents hit a major turning point last July when the judge ruled the prosecutor's appointment invalid, leading to the DOJ dropping its appeal earlier this year.Trump's legal team is also engaged in constant back-and-forth regarding his executive actions as sitting president. Controversial policy decisions, such as withholding federal funds from sanctuary cities, have sparked lawsuits even as the Defense contends Trump's executive authority in these cases. It's a complicated legal mosaic, and the stakes remain high. With courtrooms from Manhattan to Atlanta and Washington dissecting his actions, Trump's legal peril touches on everything from election interference to the very limits of executive power. Whether he emerges unscathed or faces ultimate accountability, these trials seem poised to define not only his post-presidency but also broader legal and political precedents for years to come.

In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, host Chris Finn welcomes Jack Smith, a prominent figure in the world of long drive. They discuss Jack's journey from traditional golf to long drive competitions, the unique training methods and recovery strategies that set long drive athletes apart, and the structure of long drive tournaments. Jack emphasizes the accessibility of the sport for aspiring athletes and the importance of proper training and recovery to enhance performance. The conversation highlights the tight-knit community of long drive competitors and the exciting future of the sport. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Europe really the “stalwart” of democracy? While the radical Left in America failed to imprison President Donald Trump, their Europeans counterparts are having a successful time prosecuting their political enemies, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “Europe is copying the lawfare of the United States. Remember that Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Jack Smith, and E. Jean Carroll, in civil and criminal suits, for four years tried to destroy Donald Trump. And they had over $400 million in fines that were leveled at one point. And there were 91 felony indictments… “Ms. Le Pen, the head of the most conservative party in France, who has got enormous momentum. Enormous momentum, because, of the violence of radical Islamic groups, inside France. The open borders, the dissatisfaction with the blank check, given Ukraine, etc., I could go on and on… “[The high court] said that she had expropriate funds, campaign funds. In other words, that she was blending—does this sounds familiar—blending her own campaign with funds allotted from the European Union, for other purposes. In other words, there was a difference—a distinction without a difference. “In other words, they only applied this law to her because they were terrified she was going to win, in the next presidential election.” Watch the full epsiode now!

As I sit here on March 31, 2025, reflecting on the whirlwind of legal battles surrounding former President Donald Trump, it's hard to believe how much has unfolded in just the past few days. The courts have been buzzing with activity, and the nation remains captivated by every twist and turn.Let's start with the New York case, where Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records back in May 2024. Just a few months ago, on January 10, 2025, Justice Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to unconditional discharge. It was a surprising outcome that left many legal experts scratching their heads.Meanwhile, the federal cases against Trump took an unexpected turn after he won the 2024 presidential election. Both cases were dismissed, with the Southern District of Florida case being thrown out by Judge Aileen Cannon on July 15, 2024. She ruled that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. The Justice Department initially appealed but ultimately dismissed the appeal against Trump on November 29, 2024.The District of Columbia case met a similar fate. After the Supreme Court remanded the case back to the district court in August 2024, Judge Tanya Chutkan granted the government's unopposed motion to dismiss on December 6, 2024. It was a stunning reversal of fortune for Trump, who had faced serious charges related to his actions surrounding the 2020 election.But the legal drama doesn't end there. Just last week, on March 24, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard oral arguments in a case known as J.G.G. et al. v. Donald Trump et al. The details of this case are still emerging, but it's clear that Trump's legal battles are far from over.In recent days, we've seen a flurry of activity in various courts across the country. Cities and counties are challenging Trump's executive orders on immigration and sanctuary cities. San Francisco filed a complaint on February 7, 2025, arguing that Trump's actions violate multiple constitutional provisions and the Administrative Procedure Act.Meanwhile, immigrant advocacy groups have filed lawsuits challenging Trump's policies on migrant transfers and refugee admissions. It's a dizzying array of legal challenges that shows no signs of slowing down.Perhaps most surprisingly, we've witnessed what some are calling "The Great Grovel" – elite institutions capitulating to Trump's demands in an effort to avoid his ire. Law firms like Paul, Weiss and Skadden Arps have pledged millions in pro bono legal services to Trump-supported causes. It's a stark reminder of the power Trump still wields, even as he faces ongoing legal challenges.As we move forward, it's clear that the courts will continue to play a crucial role in shaping Trump's legacy and the future of American politics. With each passing day, new developments emerge, keeping the nation on the edge of its seat. One thing's for certain: the legal saga of Donald Trump is far from over.

As I stand outside the Manhattan courthouse on this chilly Sunday morning of March 30, 2025, the air is thick with anticipation. Just days ago, President Donald Trump received his sentence in the New York hush money case - unconditional discharge. It's been a whirlwind few months for the former and current president, with legal battles raging across multiple fronts.Let's rewind to January 10th, when Justice Juan Merchan handed down the sentence in the case involving falsified business records related to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. While Trump avoided jail time, the conviction itself was a significant blow to his image.But the legal saga doesn't end there. The federal cases against Trump in Florida and Washington D.C. took unexpected turns after his 2024 election victory. In July last year, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case in Florida, citing improper appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith. The Justice Department's subsequent appeal was dropped in November, effectively ending that prosecution.The January 6th case in D.C. met a similar fate. After the Supreme Court remanded the case back to the district court in August 2024, Judge Tanya Chutkan ultimately granted the government's motion to dismiss in December. The presidential immunity claim that had initially delayed the trial became moot after Trump's re-election.Now, all eyes are on the ongoing Fulton County, Georgia case. District Attorney Fani Willis's sprawling racketeering indictment against Trump and 18 co-defendants continues to wind its way through the courts. Just last week, Trump's legal team filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court, seeking to halt removals under the Alien Enemies Act - a controversial 1798 law invoked by the president to target alleged members of a Venezuelan gang.This latest move has sparked heated debate about executive power and national security. Critics argue it's an overreach, while supporters claim it's necessary to combat transnational criminal organizations. The Supreme Court's decision on this matter could have far-reaching implications for immigration policy and presidential authority.As we await further developments, one thing is clear: the intersection of law and politics has never been more contentious. With the 2025 legislative session in full swing and the aftermath of these legal battles still unfolding, the coming months promise to be a crucial period for American democracy. This is Sarah Johnson, reporting from New York City, where the story of Trump's trials continues to captivate the nation.

As I stand outside the courthouse on this chilly March morning in 2025, I can't help but reflect on the whirlwind of legal proceedings that have surrounded former President Donald Trump over the past few months. It's been a rollercoaster ride of verdicts, appeals, and new indictments that have kept the nation on the edge of its seat.Just last week, we saw the conclusion of Trump's New York case, where he was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Justice Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to unconditional discharge on January 10th, a surprisingly lenient outcome that left many legal experts scratching their heads.But the drama didn't end there. The federal cases against Trump in Washington D.C. and Florida took unexpected turns after his 2024 election victory. Special Counsel Jack Smith's case in Florida was dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon, who ruled that Smith's appointment was improper. The Justice Department's subsequent appeal was dropped in November, effectively ending that prosecution.Meanwhile, the D.C. case faced its own hurdles. Judge Tanya Chutkan vacated the original trial date while the Supreme Court considered Trump's immunity claim. When the high court remanded the case back to the district court in August, it seemed the trial might proceed. However, in a shocking turn of events, Judge Chutkan granted the government's unopposed motion to dismiss the case in December.As if these developments weren't enough, Trump's administration has been busy issuing controversial executive orders. Just yesterday, he signed an order suspending security clearances for employees of the law firm WilmerHale, citing national security concerns and accusing the firm of partisan activities.But perhaps the most intriguing case on the horizon is set to unfold next week. On March 24th, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in a case known as J.G.G. et al. v. Donald Trump et al. While details are scarce, this case could potentially challenge some of Trump's recent executive actions.As I watch the lawyers and journalists rush into the courthouse, I can't help but wonder what new legal twist awaits us today. One thing's for certain: the Trump trials continue to captivate the nation, reshaping our understanding of presidential power and the limits of the law.

As I sit here on March 26, 2025, reflecting on the recent legal developments surrounding former President Donald Trump, it's hard to believe how much has unfolded in just the past few months. The courtrooms have been buzzing with activity, and the nation has been captivated by the ongoing trials.Let's start with the New York case, where Trump faced 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The trial began in April 2024, and on May 30, a Manhattan jury found him guilty on all counts. It was a shocking moment for many, seeing a former president convicted in a criminal case. On January 10, 2025, Justice Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to unconditional discharge, essentially letting him walk free without jail time or probation.Meanwhile, the federal cases against Trump took unexpected turns. In the Southern District of Florida, where he faced charges related to mishandling classified documents, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the indictment last July. She ruled that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. The Justice Department initially appealed but later dropped the case entirely.The Washington D.C. case, which centered on Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, met a similar fate. After a series of delays and legal battles over presidential immunity, Judge Tanya Chutkan granted the government's motion to dismiss the case in December 2024.But the legal drama doesn't end there. Just last week, on March 24, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard oral arguments in a case related to Trump's actions during his presidency. The case, J.G.G. et al. v. Donald Trump et al., has been closely watched by legal experts and could have far-reaching implications for presidential power and accountability.Adding to the complexity, Trump's administration has been taking action to prevent what they see as abuses of the legal system. On March 21, he signed a memorandum instructing the Attorney General to prioritize seeking sanctions against attorneys and law firms engaged in what they deem frivolous litigation against the United States.As we look ahead, the legal landscape surrounding Trump remains uncertain. The Fulton County, Georgia case related to election interference is still pending, and new challenges continue to emerge. Just yesterday, Trump asked the Supreme Court to block a ruling on rehiring federal employees, demonstrating that his legal battles extend far beyond criminal matters.It's a dizzying array of legal proceedings, and as an observer, I can't help but wonder how history will ultimately judge this tumultuous period in American politics and jurisprudence. One thing's for certain: the impact of these trials will be felt for years to come, shaping our understanding of presidential power, accountability, and the rule of law in ways we're only beginning to comprehend.

As I sit here in my New York apartment on March 24, 2025, I can't help but reflect on the whirlwind of legal drama surrounding former President Donald Trump over the past few years. It's been a rollercoaster ride of indictments, trials, and political maneuvering that has captivated the nation.Just a couple of months ago, on January 10, Trump was sentenced in the New York case where he faced 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Justice Juan Merchan handed down an unconditional discharge, which means Trump was convicted but received no punishment - no jail time, no probation, not even a fine. It was a surprising outcome that left many legal experts scratching their heads.But that's not the end of Trump's legal troubles. The federal cases against him took some unexpected turns after he won the 2024 presidential election. On July 15, 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the federal indictment in the Southern District of Florida, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed. The Justice Department initially appealed but then dropped the case entirely in late November.The Washington D.C. case, which dealt with Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, met a similar fate. Judge Tanya Chutkan granted the government's motion to dismiss on December 6, 2024. It seems Trump's victory in the 2024 election dramatically altered the legal landscape.Meanwhile, the Georgia case is still ongoing, with no clear resolution in sight. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has faced numerous challenges and delays in bringing the case to trial.Trump's return to the White House has been marked by swift action on legal matters. Just last week, on March 21, he signed a memorandum aimed at holding attorneys and law firms accountable for what he calls "unethical conduct" in litigation against the federal government. Critics argue it's an attempt to intimidate lawyers who might challenge his administration's policies.As a citizen watching all of this unfold, I can't help but wonder about the long-term implications for our justice system and the presidency. Trump's ability to navigate these legal challenges while simultaneously winning back the White House is unprecedented in American history.The coming months are sure to bring more twists and turns. Will Trump's legal strategy of delay and dismissal continue to be effective? How will his return to power impact ongoing investigations and potential future prosecutions? As we move further into 2025, these questions loom large over our political landscape, keeping us all on the edge of our seats.

Hey there, it's your favorite legal correspondent coming to you live from the heart of New York City. What a whirlwind these past few days have been in the world of Donald Trump's legal battles. Let me catch you up on all the drama.Just last week, on March 14th, we saw a major development in the ongoing saga of Trump's diversity, equity, and inclusion executive orders. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted the nationwide injunction that had been blocking these controversial EOs. This means the Trump administration can now move forward with enforcing these orders while the legal challenges continue. It's a significant win for the former president, but the fight is far from over.Now, let's talk about the big one - Trump's criminal trial in New York. On March 15th, Justice Juan Merchan made a crucial decision regarding the upcoming sentencing, which is set for January 10th, 2025. The judge ruled for an unconditional discharge, essentially meaning Trump won't face jail time or probation for his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. It's a surprising turn of events, considering the gravity of the charges.But hold on to your hats, folks, because the legal rollercoaster doesn't stop there. Just yesterday, we got word that Trump's legal team is gearing up to file an appeal. They're chomping at the bit to challenge the conviction, but here's the kicker - they can't do it until after the sentencing takes place in January. Talk about a legal cliffhanger!Meanwhile, over in Washington D.C., things have gone eerily quiet on the federal election interference case. After the Supreme Court's decision back in August to remand the case, Judge Chutkan granted the government's motion to dismiss in December. It's a stark contrast to the media frenzy we saw surrounding this case just a few months ago.And let's not forget about the document mishandling case down in Florida. That one's been in limbo since Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the federal indictment last July, citing improper appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith. The Justice Department's appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals was ultimately dismissed in late November, leaving many legal experts scratching their heads.As we sit here today, on March 19th, 2025, it's clear that Donald Trump's legal battles are far from over. With appeals pending and new developments seemingly around every corner, you can bet I'll be here, keeping you up to date on all the twists and turns. Stay tuned, folks - something tells me we're in for quite a ride.

Sage advice awaits from a St. Louis legend in leadership development and business strategy, Jack Smith. Whether you lead a for-profit or non-profit organization, this podcast is a must-listen!

It's been a whirlwind few days in the world of Donald Trump's legal battles. As I sit here on this Sunday morning, March 16, 2025, I can't help but reflect on the rollercoaster of events we've witnessed.Just last week, on March 14, the Department of Justice made a surprising move. They urged U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to keep Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report on Trump's handling of classified documents under wraps. This came mere hours after Trump publicly praised Judge Cannon, calling her "brilliant" and "the absolute model of what a judge should be." It's a stark contrast to the heated rhetoric we've seen in the past.But that's not all. The same day, a federal appeals court gave the green light for Trump to reinstate two controversial executive orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in federal agencies and government contractors. The three-judge panel from the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a lower court's injunction, allowing the policy to be implemented while litigation continues. It's a significant win for the Trump administration, though the judges cautioned that overzealous enforcement could raise constitutional concerns.Meanwhile, the New York criminal case against Trump continues to make headlines. Remember, he was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records back in May 2024. His sentencing, originally scheduled for January 10, 2025, was temporarily suspended following his November 2024 election victory. But now, we're all waiting with bated breath for the next development.Adding another layer to this legal saga, Trump recently asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on the issue of birthright citizenship. On March 13, his administration filed a request for the high court to allow enforcement of an executive order ending the guarantee of citizenship for virtually anyone born in the United States. It's a contentious issue that's sure to spark heated debate in the coming weeks.As we look ahead, there's no sign of these legal battles slowing down. Trump's team continues to fight on multiple fronts, challenging everything from election results to long-standing constitutional interpretations. Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Donald Trump remains at the center of some of the most consequential legal battles in recent American history.It's a lot to take in, and I can't help but wonder what the next few days will bring. Will we see more surprising court decisions? New executive orders? Or perhaps another unexpected twist in this ongoing legal drama? One thing's for certain – when it comes to Donald Trump and the law, expect the unexpected.

In Episode 25 of Season 7, hosts Jim Iacovone and Jack Smith dive into the latest developments surrounding the Philadelphia Flyers as they navigate a challenging season. With the trade deadline behind them, the duo discusses the implications of recent roster moves, including the benching of Michkov and Cam York, and the impact of these decisions on team dynamics.

It's been a whirlwind few days in the ongoing saga of Donald Trump's legal battles. As a journalist covering these trials, I've had a front-row seat to the drama unfolding in courtrooms across the country.Just yesterday, a federal judge in Maryland upheld the scope of a nationwide preliminary injunction against Trump's executive orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. The administration had hoped to narrow or suspend the injunction, but the court found that the potential harm from these orders outweighed any policy priorities. It's a significant setback for Trump's efforts to dismantle DEI initiatives.Meanwhile, in Washington state, another federal judge issued a sweeping order blocking key parts of Trump's executive actions on gender ideology and medical services. The ruling prevents the government from cutting funding to institutions over gender-affirming care policies. It's clear the courts are pushing back hard against what many see as overreach by the executive branch.But it's not all bad news for the former president. In Florida, a major case against Trump over his handling of classified documents after leaving office was dismissed last year. The judge ruled that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed, throwing the prosecution into disarray. The Justice Department's subsequent appeal was dropped after Trump's 2024 election victory.A similar fate befell the federal case in Washington D.C. over Trump's actions surrounding the 2020 election. That prosecution was dismissed in December following Trump's win, with the government citing the change in administration.The New York case over alleged falsification of business records did result in a conviction last May, but Trump received only an unconditional discharge as his sentence in January. It was essentially a slap on the wrist.Looking ahead, all eyes are on the ongoing case in Fulton County, Georgia over attempts to overturn the 2020 election results there. Unlike the federal cases, this state prosecution has continued despite Trump's return to office. A trial date hasn't been set, but pretrial maneuvering is in full swing.As these legal sagas continue to unfold, it's clear that Trump's presidency and its aftermath will be debated in courtrooms for years to come. The outcomes could have far-reaching implications for executive power, civil rights, and the rule of law in America. Stay tuned - this story is far from over.

This Day in Legal History: Bloody SundayOn March 7, 1965, a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement unfolded in Selma, Alabama. A group of 525 peaceful demonstrators, led by activists like John Lewis and Hosea Williams, began a march to Montgomery to demand voting rights for Black Americans. As they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, they were met by Alabama state troopers and local law enforcement, who brutally attacked them with billy clubs and tear gas. The violent crackdown, later known as "Bloody Sunday," left at least 65 people injured and shocked the nation. Television broadcasts of the assault galvanized public support for civil rights, prompting federal intervention. After securing court protection, a second attempt on March 9, led by Martin Luther King Jr., was turned around peacefully to avoid further violence. Finally, under federal protection, thousands of marchers resumed the journey on March 21, arriving in Montgomery on March 25 with 25,000 people. The march directly contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed discriminatory voting practices. "Bloody Sunday" remains a defining moment in the struggle for racial justice in America, symbolizing both the brutality of oppression and the power of collective resistance.President Donald Trump issued an executive order targeting Perkins Coie LLP, citing the firm's role in commissioning the Steele dossier during the 2016 election and its diversity hiring practices. The order suspends security clearances for Perkins Coie employees and directs federal agencies to review and potentially terminate contracts with the firm and its business partners. It also instructs the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Justice Department to investigate racial discrimination policies at major law firms, referencing Perkins Coie's past use of racial hiring quotas. The directive extends to restricting Perkins Coie employees from entering federal buildings and limiting their engagement with government officials.Trump's move comes after similar actions against Covington & Burling for its representation of former special counsel Jack Smith. The executive order frames Perkins Coie as a national security risk, linking its past election law litigation to alleged threats against democratic integrity. It also mandates that federal contractors disclose business ties to the firm, aiming to cut off government funds to entities associated with it. The order's broader scope signals heightened scrutiny of “Big Law” firms, especially those engaged in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Trump's administration has pushed back against race-conscious hiring practices, aligning the order with prior efforts to dismantle DEI policies in education and employment.Perkins Coie, a longtime legal adviser to Democrats, denounced the order as unlawful and vowed to challenge it. The firm has been at the center of Republican criticism over election-related litigation and its former attorneys' ties to Democratic campaigns. The administration's focus on law firms suggests a broader effort to reshape the legal industry's relationship with the federal government.Trump Targets Law Firms Over Steele Dossier, Diversity Moves (1)A federal judge reinstated Gwynne Wilcox to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), ruling that former President Donald Trump lacked the authority to fire her. Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia found Trump's dismissal of Wilcox violated legal protections for independent agency members, emphasizing that the president's removal powers are not absolute. Howell's decision strongly reaffirmed Humphrey's Executor v. United States(1935), which upheld restrictions on presidential firings of independent agency officials.The ruling restores the NLRB's quorum, allowing it to issue decisions again, but the Trump administration immediately appealed, seeking to block Wilcox's return. Howell's opinion included a sharp rebuke of Trump's attempts to assert unchecked presidential authority, stating, “An American President is not a king.” She pointed to longstanding legal precedent that limits the president's power to remove officials from multi-member independent agencies, dating back to the Interstate Commerce Commission's creation in 1887.Trump's legal team argued that Wilcox's firing was justified under the Supreme Court's 2020 Seila Law v. CFPB decision, which expanded presidential removal power over single-agency heads. However, Howell rejected this claim, noting that NLRB members' powers resemble those of the Federal Trade Commission members protected under Humphrey's Executor. The ruling marks the third time a court has reversed Trump's firings of agency officials, signaling a broader legal battle over executive authority that may reach the Supreme Court. Wilcox's attorney praised the decision as a victory for the independence of federal agencies, while the Justice Department has not yet commented.Fired NLRB Member Reinstated in Decision Nixing Trump Move (4)A coalition of 20 Democrat-led states, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, has sued the Trump administration over mass firings of federal workers. Filed in a Maryland federal court, the lawsuit argues that President Donald Trump illegally dismissed tens of thousands of employees without proper notice or justification. The states seek to reinstate the workers and block further terminations.Trump's efforts to shrink the federal workforce have already faced legal pushback. A judge recently reinstated a National Labor Relations Board member fired by Trump, and another court temporarily halted the administration's directive to fire new hires en masse. Additionally, a federal workforce board reinstated thousands of employees at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have framed the firings as part of a campaign to eliminate government inefficiency and waste. However, critics, including the states in this lawsuit, argue that the dismissals violate labor laws and undermine public service. The case adds to mounting legal challenges against Trump's sweeping efforts to reshape the federal bureaucracy.Democrat-led states join legal fight over Trump's mass firings of federal workers | ReutersThe Trump administration is planning to shut down nearly a dozen U.S. diplomatic missions, primarily in Western Europe, as part of a broader effort to reduce government spending and reshape foreign policy. The State Department is also considering merging several Washington-based expert bureaus focused on human rights, refugees, and global criminal justice. Additionally, U.S. embassies worldwide have been instructed to cut at least 10% of their American and locally employed staff.The proposed closures include consulates in Germany, France, Italy, Brazil, and Portugal, though officials say some locations may be spared. The administration argues these cuts align with Trump's “America First” agenda and his campaign promise to reduce the so-called "deep state." Critics warn that reducing the U.S. diplomatic presence, along with cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), could weaken American global influence and create openings for adversaries like China and Russia.Congress has been notified of the plan to close the U.S. consulate in Gaziantep, Turkey, a key hub for Syrian humanitarian aid. In Washington, dozens of State Department contractors have been terminated, including those handling Afghan refugee resettlement. Diplomats working on Asian affairs have been asked to justify their missions' alignment with Trump's policies. The administration's deep cuts to foreign aid and staffing have already resulted in thousands of USAID workers being laid off and billions in humanitarian aid being eliminated.Trump administration weighs closure of nearly a dozen diplomatic missions abroad | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Maurice Ravel.Our theme is Piano Concerto in G - I. Allegramente by Maurice Ravel, a composer known for his shimmering orchestration and masterful blend of classical form with modern harmonies. Born on March 7, 1875, Ravel was a key figure in early 20th-century music, often associated with Impressionism, though he resisted the label. His Piano Concerto in G, composed between 1929 and 1931, reflects his fascination with jazz, which he encountered during a trip to the United States. The first movement, Allegramente, is bright and rhythmic, opening with a whip-crack that sets the tone for its energy and playfulness. Ravel weaves in blues-inspired harmonies, rapid piano flourishes, and sparkling orchestral textures, creating a piece that feels both spontaneous and carefully crafted. Despite its liveliness, the movement is meticulously structured, showcasing Ravel's precision and attention to detail. The concerto as a whole balances virtuosic brilliance with lyricism, particularly in the dreamy second movement. Ravel himself admitted he aimed for a work that was “light and brilliant,” rather than deep or profound. Yet, in its elegance and wit, the concerto captures the vibrancy of early 20th-century musical innovation. As the spirited Allegramente unfolds, it serves as a fitting farewell to the week—playful, energetic, and bursting with color.Without further ado, Piano Concerto in G - I. Allegramente by Maurice Ravel. Enjoy! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Ok, where was I? Oh yes, I finished Friday's summary describing the time Donald K. Trump extorted Ukraine President Zelenskyy to falsely promote Russian interests. Back in those days we used to impeach Presidents for that kind of stuff. Anyhow... David Waldman is here with the KITM Oscars Analysis. He has heard some “good buzz” about this movie “Oppenheimer” that he might want to check out… No spoilers, please! Greg Dworkin is here with a big Raft O' Stories™, loaded with Plenty O' X links (I know, but the guy still uses Skype too. Some things take time to let go of.) New Yorkers knew Trump was a mob boss, now the world knows. Everybody knew this was a trap going in. SNL probably had their skit written last Thursday. It's weird, but we also all knew what the Trump & crew's reaction to the trap's gigantic failure would be also. The surprise might be in how this unified Europe against the burgeoning Axis of assholes. Pete Hegseth rotates the turrets away from Russia and levels the guns on Mexico. Which pandemic will you die from this year? When you find out, write your answer in this DOGE questionnaire. Elon Musk is pulling out of the retail market to go to where the money is: the public sector, where waste and fraud might not run rampant, but he sure can.  The good news is that the national debt and pandemic deaths will soon be set to zero with a push of a button. Trump named the cryptocurrencies in the strategic reserve, naturally he named them to his friends first. (Follow The Stalwart on Blue Sky.) If Trump could laugh, he'd cackle with glee as he suspended the security clearances of Jack Smith's lawyers and demoted prosecutors down to trying CVS shoplifters. Judge Chuang can't stop the DOJ from beating the USAID because they're already dead. Of course, the children they were feeding will soon be literally dead. Low-income Trump voters sure hope they don't find out. They can't afford to find out much more. Car prices are going up by what a car used to be priced at.  Even Elon Musk and his mother are crashing at a bud's house until this blows over. Kash Patel doesn't want to flash the Kash Patelmobile around DC and plans to stay in Las Vegas at the pleasure of his megadonor daddy. Democrats understand what to do with a crime in progress… Talk. And, if the crime progresses, talk louder… or perhaps, change the subject, or hold on a while, or wait. Or try all of those in combination, that should do it. If all that can't stop it, NOTHING can… and they'll be up for trying that too.

U.S. attorney Ed Martin personally submitted a seizure warrant that was rejected by a U.S. magistrate judge in D.C.Kash Patel ordered FBI officials to relocate 1,500 employees from Washington DC to cities with high crime rates including Minneapolis, Detroit and Cleveland, at a cost of over $100M.Attorneys for New York City Mayor Eric Adams asked a federal judge Wednesday for an outright dismissal of his criminal corruption case, citing alleged misconduct by prosecutors.President Trump said that he would strip security clearances from lawyers at a prominent Washington law firm aiding former special counsel Jack Smith, and end any federal government work the firm may have.Questions for the pod Submit questions for the pod here https://formfacade.com/sm/PTk_BSogJ Follow AG Substack|MuellershewroteBlueSky|@muellershewroteAndrew McCabe isn't on social media, but you can buy his book The ThreatThe Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and TrumpWe would like to know more about our listeners.

Elon Musk, Dan Scavino, and other figures close to President Trump appear to be seriously pushing to dismantle the IRS. With the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) now influencing the agency, layoffs have already begun, sparking widespread discontent. Momentum is building for a major overhaul, with proposals for a flat tax and tariffs—potentially dubbed 'The ERS'—emerging as replacements for the current tax system. Next, Peter Bernegger joins the show to expose senators caught 'smurfing' and provide an update on Tina Peters. But the surprises don't stop there: Pam Bondi's push for another red flag law raises questions about her motives, Trump scores a decisive victory over Jack Smith, and rumors swirl that the FBI may be targeting James Comey. Tune in for all this and more on today's unfiltered episode of Untamed!  

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down a second strong week to open up the 2025 USC baseball season with the Trojans picking up four wins and improving to 7-1 overall, finding ways to win close games against Big West foes UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton, dominating Cal State Bakersfield and splitting a pair of hard-fought games on the road at Rice. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action, comparing the Trojans' strong start to the opening of the 2024 season when USC couldn't seem to get over the hump in close games early in the season. They discuss the standouts of the 4-1 week, including relievers Grant Govel and Garren Rizzo, who each had impressive scoreless outings. Fourth-year junior shortstop Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek then joins the show to talk about his hot start to the season as he's hitting .323 with seven RBIs and knocked his first homer on Tuesday. BMG talks about being able to get out on the new Dedeaux Field for the first time Wednesday and discusses the differences from last season when he dealt with a wrist injury ("it sucked") to this season's fast start for the Trojans through two weeks. He also discusses why he decided to come back to USC after being drafted in the 20th round last year and what it took to get his mother, a former UCLA softball player, to finally put on some cardinal-and-gold attire. After talking with Martin-Grudzielanek, Shotgun and Jack preview an upcoming 10-day stretch that could define the season for the Trojans as they take on Connecticut, No. 14 Vanderbilt and UCLA this weekend and a midweek matchup with No. 20 UC Santa Barbara before opening Big Ten play against No. 11 Oregon next weekend.

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down a much different start to the 2025 USC baseball season than last year's 0-5 start when the Trojans scored only seven runs. This year, USC wasted no time getting the offense going, scoring 10 runs in the opening frame of what would become a three-game weekend sweep of George Washington. After scoring 15 runs in the season opener, the Trojans put on a power display the final two days, pummeling five home runs -- more in the opening weekend than they had in any 2024 weekend. Long Beach State transfer Adrian Lopez got the power party started with a first-inning grand slam Saturday. But the weekend's most important home run came Sunday when Brayden Dowd hit a go-ahead three-run dinger after USC fell in an early 5-0 deficit. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action and look forward to the upcoming matchups during a five-game week after they talk with USC assistant coach Andy Jenkins about the Trojans' strong opening weekend. Jenkins also talks about USC's catching situation as the Trojans replace Jacob Galloway this season and the vibe from the team after a much different start to this year.

Donald Trump is on his corrupt revenge tour. As NBC News reported, "Trump administration fires DOJ officials who worked on criminal investigations of the president." And just a few blocks away from the DOJ, at the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, Trump appointed Ed Martin - who has ZERO prosecutorial experience - as the District's top prosecutor. Who is Martin? This from PBS: "D.C.'s new top prosecutor advocated for Jan. 6 rioters and echoed Trump's false 2020 election claims." Soon after he was appointed by Trump, Martin apparently decided a law enforcement priority for the people of DC was to open a review of all prosecutions of Jan. 6th defendants. As the Wall Street Journal reported, "Trump-Appointed Prosecutor Opens Review of Justice Department's Jan. 6 Cases".Glenn discusses the two dangerous, rule-of-law-busting developments.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us 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/glennkirschner2X aka Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/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 Dedeaux Download podcast, part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows, returns with the 2025 college baseball beginning this week. Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith with another episode in our four-part season preview, leading up to the start of the 2025 USC baseball season. In part three of the season preview series, USC assistant and hitting coach Travis Jewett joins the Dedeaux Download to talk about growing as an offense in Year 3 and what the Trojans can do to drive the baseball more after having only 34 home runs as a team in 2024. He also discusses the strides the sophomore and junior hitters that were thrust into early roles the last two seasons have taken to become more impactful bats for the Trojans in 2025. USC's recruiting coordinator also chats about what it means to now have a nearly full roster of players the coaching staff recruited rather than inherited. Jewett discusses the hitters he's excited about and how Ethan Hedges being used as a two-way player could create some extra opportunities. Among other players that are brought up, Jewett talks about the impact UNLV transfer Kade Higgins could have as a veteran with some pop, a recent extra-base spree from sophomore Dean Carpentier in practice and how sophomore Kevin Takeuchi has continued to develop his game. After a break, Shotgun and Jack then talk all things hitting with the position players taking center stage. They comb through the Trojans' 2025 roster looking at what USC will have on the offensive side. The podcasting duo also supply superlatives for the Trojan bats, giving their picks for the team's best hitter, most impactful newcomer and breakout candidates among others.

Shortly after being sworn in, Attorney General Pam Bondi published a memo regarding "ending the weaponization of the federal government." The problem is, the priorities in this memo signal the death of the independence of the Department of Justice. DOJ's priorities will shift from focusing on crimes that impact the American people to seeking revenge against Donald Trump's foes. The Bondi memo promises to pursue "Special Counsel Jack Smith and his staff," "Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (and) New York Attorney General Letitia James, and their respective staffs," and those who investigated and prosecuted the crimes committed at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. This obscene pervasion of the rule of law and the independence of the Department of Justice constitutes ACTUAL weaponization of the DOJ. Glenn discusses the new reporting and the rule-of-law--busting Bondi memo.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us 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/glennkirschner2X aka Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/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.

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with Donald Trump's second choice for U.S. attorney general, Pam Bondi, being sworn in by Clarence Thomas after vowing to end the "weaponization" of the DOJ, only to immediately launch a probe into prosecutors Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, and Letitia James for prosecuting Trump. And, we discuss the Senate voting to confirm Russell Vought on Thursday, a self-proclaimed Christian nationalist tied to Project 2025, which Trump falsely claimed to know nothing about. Plus, Joy breaks Trump's "shock and awe" strategy in his second administration, which is designed to inspire fear and outrage, creating problems only to pretend to solve them, while keeping his base engaged as his administration dismantles the federal government. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, if you want to learn about birthright citizenship, the wrong place to go is the Sunday shows. Listen to this show if you want to understand the 14th Amendment, its history, what it was based on, and the people who were involved. Margaret Brennan is on Face The Nation to advance her leftwing ideology. She claims a Reagan Judge in Seattle shot down the Trump executive order on birthright citizenship. That Judge was appointed by Reagan as part of a compromise. He's a liberal activist and a Biden sycophant – not a Reaganite. Also, Acting Attorney General James McHenry has fired the prosecutors who worked for special counsel Jack Smith. This is a good first step, but only a first step. Smith must be held legally and ethically responsible for what he did to our country. Later, today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. So many millions lost their lives as they were horribly and systematically murdered. It's being reported that 8 of the remaining 26 hostages being held by Hamas are dead. The left will blame Benjamin Netanyahu for the dead hostages because he wouldn't give into Hamas' demands. Sick.  Afterward, Republican RINOs in the Florida legislature, led by the hapless House speaker, watered down Governor Ron DeSantis's immigration enforcement bill intended to support President Trump's deportation policy. DeSantis calls in and explains that this watered-down bill should be called the swamp act – it doesn't help Trump at all. The DeSantis immigration deportation reform agenda needs to be pushed and passed.  Finally, President Trump should get the cabinet he wants. If this is the team he wants, he should get it after his enormous victory. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
