Kristi Norm has been referred to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation for allegations that she lied to Congress in her recent testimony. Given the evidence that recently has been reported clearly supporting the conclusion that she did lie to Congress, a case against Noem would be like shooting perjury fish in a barrel.But what will Pam Bondi do with this criminal referral?Glenn discusses these topics and more.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And Legalweek talk. ------ It was Legalweek last week, and we discuss the big happenings from the show -- which is pretty much all AI talk -- but while we saw splashy product announcements about the future of working as a lawyer within an AI-enhanced workflow, an assistant U.S. Attorney got bounced from the job for letting AI run too much of the workflow. But the most imaginative large language models wouldn't have predicted opening a federal judicial opinion with the phrase "swinging dicks." That takes a special level of deranged that's pure Judge Lawrence VanDyke. The certified non-qualified occupant of a Ninth Circuit seat kicked off an official taxpayer funded rant about wokeness framed as vulgar trolling to appeal to the White House. His colleagues -- most of them anyway -- issued a plea for decorum, that went basically nowhere.

It seems like sometimes accountability can take forever. And then, it comes all at once. Remember all those Trump lawyers who got disbarred as a result of what they did during Trump's first presidential rodeo: Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, and others?Well, some other lawyers didn't really pay attention to that cautionary tale. One of them is Ed Martin. Donald Trump tried to make Martin the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia – the city's top prosecutor – but Senate Republicans said, 'not so fast, that's a bridge too far even for us', and refused to confirm Martin.And now, accountability is coming for Ed Martin, The New York Times just reported: "DC Bar begins disciplinary proceedings against Ed Martin. A new legal filing accused Mr. Martin, a senior Justice Department official, of an unethical pressure campaign against Georgetown University."Glenn discusses this development with his fellow former career federal prosecutor, Kevin Flynn, in a segment called "The Prosecutor's Verdict".Find Kevin at: https://www.kevinflynnauthor.com/Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Jabot Podcast, host Kathryn Rubino speaks with Molly Coleman, Executive Director of the People's Parity Project (PPP) and newly elected St. Paul City Council member, about organizing within the legal profession and redefining the role lawyers play in democracy. Coleman shares how her early work in public education inspired her to pursue law as a tool for systemic change, and how the People's Parity Project grew from a small group of law students into a national organizing force challenging corporate power, forced arbitration, and inequities embedded within the legal system. The conversation explores the ideological shaping of law students, the long-term influence of legal movements, and the importance of building alternative pathways for lawyers who want to advance social and economic justice. Coleman also reflects on organizing during political crisis, the limits of courts as vehicles for change, and why community action — not institutions alone — ultimately drives democratic resilience. This episode offers a candid look at legal activism, professional responsibility, and what it means for lawyers to engage both inside and outside systems of power.

A campaign group intending to formally object to plans for a new hospital in Limerick say the decision risks continuing "traumatic" experiences for Clare people into the future. The Midwest Hospital Campaign has revealed its intention to take a judicial review against the HSE's proposal to develop a new hospital campus on a 44-acre site in Raheen. It's understood the judicial review will be based on determining whether the decision-making process was fair, evidence-based and transparent. Ennis-based Midwest Hospital Campaign co-founder Hilary Tonge says the people at the coalface of the overcrowding crisis can't be forgotten.

We just got one heck of an Epstein files update. We know that state law enforcement authorities in New Mexico are now investigating Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro ranch. That is the scene of allegations of horrific crimes by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and others, and it's good that the New Mexico law-enforcement authorities are FINALLY investigating. But the obvious question is: why wasn't the Zorro ranch searched by law-enforcement authorities when they searched Epstein's home in New York, when they searched his home in Florida, or when they searched his home on his infamous island?Well, we now know the answer to that question - why didn't they search the Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.

Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine return for another episode of Altered State, mixing political analysis with their signature humor and storytelling. The conversation begins with an optimistic look at the current political moment and why the hosts believe the changes happening in Washington are fundamentally different from past administrations. They discuss the challenges President Trump faces while attempting to reverse decades of policy decisions and navigate a Congress that often resists major reforms. The discussion then shifts into the mechanics of government power, including the history of the filibuster, its origins in Senate rule changes, and how it has been used to stall legislation throughout American history. Brad and Zak explore whether Vice President JD Vance could play a larger role as President of the Senate to push forward key legislation like the SAVE Act. Later in the episode, the hosts examine corruption within the judicial system, highlighting examples of legal double standards, controversial rulings, and the broader impact these decisions have on public trust in the courts. The conversation takes a turn toward political scandals as they revisit infamous controversies involving elected officials before reacting to former Congressman Anthony Weiner attempting a political comeback despite his past criminal conviction. The episode closes with commentary on election integrity reforms, ranked choice voting, and why understanding the mechanics of elections is essential for voters moving forward.

To be an attorney at the Department of Justice, you have to have a license to practice law issued by one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia.

Then she fired the head of the Office of Professional Responsibility - OPR - the organization that investigates allegations of misconduct by DOJ attorneys.Now Bondi is trying to violate states rights by seeking to prohibit state bar ethics offices from investigating attorney misconduct of lawyers who hold law licenses in their state.

Tara covers it all: from verified Iranian missile attacks hitting U.S. and allied bases, to Democrat and media claims that Trump fabricated the threat, to historic U.S. energy breakthroughs. She exposes how the left is weaponizing the judicial system and jury nullification, while highlighting the first U.S. oil refinery in 50 years, boosting American energy independence. SEGMENT SUMMARY: 1️⃣ Iran Conflict & Media Spin Democrats and CBS claimed Trump “made it all up” about Iran's missile attacks. Verified facts: 223 strikes targeted U.S. bases and allies, with 7 Americans killed and over 140 injured. Middle Eastern allies—including the UAE, Qatar, and Israel—coordinated strikes in response. Tara debunks conspiracy narratives and shows how Trump's actions reshaped regional dynamics. 2️⃣ Judicial System & Left-Wing Threats Tara explains how left-wing activists are using jury nullification to undermine Trump DOJ prosecutions. Examples include past assassination attempts and threats against Trump officials, illustrating how DC's court system is being targeted. Training for liberals to vote “not guilty” on political grounds is expanding nationwide. 3️⃣ U.S. Energy & Manufacturing Independence Historic opening of the first U.S. oil refinery in 50 years in Brownsville, Texas. The refinery will process domestic shale and Venezuelan crude, reducing reliance on foreign refining. Highlights failures of past Democrat energy policy, including the impact of New York's energy laws and grid vulnerabilities. Trump's policy ensures energy independence, strengthens U.S. manufacturing, and protects against global choke points like the Strait of Hormuz. 4️⃣ Geopolitical & Economic Impact Democrats' past Iran policies enabled long-range missiles that threatened U.S. and allied positions. Trump's actions neutralized threats and reshaped Middle East alliances. U.S. refinery and energy policies now prevent foreign dependency, bolster domestic production, and safeguard the economy. KEY TOPICS: Iran missile attacks: 223 strikes on U.S. and allied bases Media and Democrat spin: Trump “made it all up” Middle East response: UAE, Qatar, Israel coordinate strikes Left-wing jury nullification & DC court threats First U.S. refinery in 50 years: Brownsville, Texas Energy independence & domestic refining capacity Impact on U.S. manufacturing and strategic choke points Historical context: Obama & Biden Iran policies Democrat-controlled energy failures & New York blackouts SOCIAL MEDIA POST:

Special guest host Larry O'Connor, helms the ship on today's show! Hillary Clinton is trying to not get indicted, you'll be shocked when you hear what she had to say about President Trump. Democrats are demanding a judicial warrant for ICE to pursue illegal criminal aliens in our country. On the surface it sounds like it's in the pursuit of justice, but it is far from it. Andrew R. Arthur is here to explain what a judicial warrant actually means and how it will bring the entire justice system to a screeching halt. Sanctuary policies, like the one in Virginia are allowing brutal illegal alien criminals to walk the streets and commit heinous crimes, even after multiple arning from the police. CNN bragged about having access to Iran, but baked into that access means they have to report Iran in a way that Iran finds acceptable. Curtis Houck of MRC Newsbusters here to unpack all the bogus reporting from the legacy hacks, including Abby Phillips just flat out lying to her audience.

Donald Trump's quest to prosecute his perceived enemies, isn't going so good for him. Remember when Donald Trump's Department of Justice filed motions to withdraw appeals they had filed in four cases Trump lost. Those cases involved Trump using executive orders to try to punish law firms that displeased him. Trump and his DOJ got crushed in all four cases, but his Department of Justice filed appeals.Well, then the DOJ threw in the towel, filing a motion to withdraw the appeals because they knew they didn't have a shot at winning.What happened next? Apparently, Donald Trump got wind of it and likely told Pam Bondi - 'nope, I am not gonna let you quit these cases or withdraw these appeals.' So like a good little flunky, Pam Bondi and her Department of Justice are now trying to take the towel back and revive the appeals that they told the court they wanted to withdraw.On the heels of that debacle, it looks like the DOJ has bucked Donald Trump again. Remember when Donald Trump wanted his DOJ to prosecute Joe Biden for using an auto pen? Here was the headline at the time: "Trump orders a probe into the Biden administration and its alleged autopen."The New York Times reported a new legal development on the Joe Biden/autopen front, "Justice Department, Under Pressure from Trump Fails to Build Autopen Case Against Biden. Prosecutors in the US attorneys office in Washington were unable to build a case, underscoring the department's increasing inability to follow through on the president's desire to indict his rivals."It sure looks like Donald Trump's DOJ leadership with Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, and Jeanine Pirro - is crumbling.

Yeah, you heard that right. The outrage machine is already in overdrive after an illegal migrant working as a Nashville reporter—one who often criticized US immigration policies and enforcement!—was arrested for deportation, supposedly “without a warrant.” Of course, Estefany Rodriguez-Flores WAS detained for deportation on a warrant, but it was an entirely appropriate Article II administrative warrant, rather than an Article III judicial warrant. The anti-American, pro-migrant screamers need to relax and stop lying to the American people. Immigration law treats illegal presence as a civil violation, not a crime—unless you're talking re-entry after deportation, which is criminal, but that's the exception. Congress set this up decades ago: 8 U.S.C. § 1226, § 1357 allow for immigration detentions without need of a judicial warrant. ICE officers get the power to arrest and detain aliens they have reason to believe are removable. Oh, the pearl-clutching! "Administrative warrants aren't real warrants!" cry the lawyers in their safe spaces. True—they're not signed by a "neutral and detached magistrate." That's the point! Immigration isn't criminal prosecution; it's removal. The "warrant" is basically an internal green light saying, "Yeah, this guy's deportable—go get him." For folks with final removal orders? Even easier—I-205 says the immigration judge (who's executive branch, not Article III) already ruled. Due process? Check. They've had their day in immigration court.Liberals act like this is some Trump-era power grab. Nah, it's been the law forever. Biden's ICE used the same tools—just slower and with more apologies. Now with mass deportations ramping up, suddenly it's "tyranny." Funny how the Constitution only matters when your side's losing.Bottom line: Judicial warrants are for criminal stuff—searches, probable cause for felonies. Deportation detentions? Administrative all the way. It's efficient, it's legal, and it's exactly what keeps the system from grinding to a halt. If we required judges for every ICE pickup, we'd need a thousand more federal benches and a budget the size of Ukraine aid. No thanks.In other news, I'll also cover the insane decision out of the DC Court of Appeals affirming a lower court's preliminary injunction that strips out the word “Temporary” from “Temporary Protected Status,” and forces Trump to keep hundreds of thousands of Haitian barbarians in our nation, as unelected federal judges prove once again that they have zero respect for our Constitution's separation of powers. Join me LIVE right after the open-access show. I also invite each of YOU to join me in our desperate but worthy mission to save our great nation. The easiest way to do that?

If you look really closely at Pam Bondi's Department of Justice, you can almost see it circling the drain. Yesterday, DOJ attorneys filed a notice with the DC Circuit Court of Appeals saying they wanted to withdraw the appeals DOJ had filed in four cases involving Trump's executive orders that were designed to punish law firms he didn't like. Trump's DOJ had lost all four cases, given that his executive orders were transparently unlawful and unconstitutional. Then today, in an extraordinary flip-flop, the DOJ said they wanted to withdraw their request to withdraw their appeals. In other words, after throwing in the towel, they told the court . . . they want their towel back. This horribly inconsistent and incompetent conduct makes clear that the DOJ is in disarray.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A brutal DHS hearing ends a political career, Middle East alliances flip the global order, and the SAVE Act becomes the last stand against election fraud. Tara breaks down how media narratives, foreign policy shifts, and Republican infighting are colliding at once. EPISODE SUMMARY In today's episode, Tara dives into a stunning political collapse at the Department of Homeland Security after explosive testimony about an alleged affair with political operative Corey Lewandowski. The scandal erupts during a tense congressional hearing, raising questions about ethics, leadership, and the political damage done in the middle of major immigration enforcement efforts. Meanwhile, the geopolitical map is shifting fast. Following military strikes against Iran, several Gulf states—including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain—are quietly aligning with the United States and Israel, offering bases and operational support. Tara explains why this surprising coalition may actually simplify the conflict rather than expand it. At the same time, tension grows with traditional Western allies. Leaders like Keir Starmer face criticism as the United Kingdom and other European governments hesitate to support U.S. operations, sparking debate over whether old alliances are weakening while new ones form in the Middle East. Back in Washington, a political showdown is brewing over election integrity legislation. The SAVE Act could force states to provide voter roll data and require proof of citizenship to vote—potentially reshaping future elections. But Senate leadership battles, including figures like John Thune, John Cornyn, and Lindsey Graham, are threatening to stall it. Finally, Tara looks at rising frustration over judicial decisions in states like South Carolina, where critics say liberal judges are being repeatedly appointed by Republican legislatures despite controversial rulings—including a case where a stabbing suspect was released on minimal bond. It's a chaotic moment in American politics—scandals, shifting alliances, and battles for the future of elections—all colliding at once.

If you look really closely at Pam Bondi's Department of Justice, you can almost see it circling the drain. Yesterday, DOJ attorneys filed a notice with the DC Circuit Court of Appeals saying they wanted to withdraw the appeals DOJ had filed in four cases involving Trump's executive orders that were designed to punish law firms he didn't like. Trump's DOJ had lost all four cases, given that his executive orders were transparently unlawful and unconstitutional. Then today, in an extraordinary flip-flop, the DOJ said they wanted to withdraw their request to withdraw their appeals. In other words, after throwing in the towel, they told the court . . . they want their towel back. This horribly inconsistent and incompetent conduct makes clear that the DOJ is in disarray.Find Glenn on Substack: 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 unlawfully attacked Iran, and he has entered America into an unconstitutional "war" - that is the word Trump used. And, in the process, Trump has already sent multiple US military members to their death.

In case you're worried that the federal courts - the federal judges - are weakening in their resolved to hold Donald Trump and his flunkies accountable for their lawlessness and unconstitutional conduct, a federal judge of more than 30 years has said that, regarding masked federal agents roaming the street of American cities: "An anonymous government is no government at all."

Are the Epstein files creeping closer to Donald Trump and other rich, powerful, influential, privileged people? Well, look at what happened to the person formerly known as Prince Andrew.Once a criminal gets caught in the grips of the rule of law - things often start to happen. Being arrested and facing the prospect of prosecution for your crimes tends to have a way of focusing the mind on one thing in particular: 'how in the hell do I get out of this jam? What can I do to save myself?' One of the things criminals do is begin to tell law enforcement authorities about the crimes of others in hopes of reducing their own charges or criminal exposure.What might Former Prince Andrew and other influential people who are being criminally investigated in countries around the world do with information they might have about the crimes of OTHER influential people? What might they do to try to save themselves? Are the Epstein walls finally closing in on Donald Trump?Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
