President Trump's efforts to prosecute his enemies are suddenly looking even more lawless. Leaks to ABC News just revealed that Justice Department insiders doubt the validity of the prosecution of former FBI director James Comey. This comes after inside sources told MSNBC that a senior prosecutor is resisting indicting New York attorney general Letitia James because the case against her is so weak. Trump is demanding prosecutions of both, and the bucking of his pressure reveals just how corrupt his directives truly are. Meanwhile, Trump just called for the jailing of the governor of Illinois. We talked about all this with former federal prosecutor Kristy Parker, counsel at Protect Democracy. She explains why Trump's prosecutions are so baseless, what we can read into the resistance inside DOJ, and how it might slow our slide into lawlessness. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Oct. 7, Bondi faced intense questioning by Senate Democrats over what the Justice Department has done (or not done) in investigating Epstein's financial records, flagged suspicious-activity reports, and whether photos of former President Trump with underage women were found among Epstein's belongings. She refused to answer how many “suspicious activity reports” had been reviewed, declined to confirm whether any photos were recovered, and sidestepped detailed explanations of internal DOJ decisions. Bondi instead turned questions back on the motives or prior actions of the senators.Bondi reaffirmed that the DOJ's July decision to stop releasing additional Epstein-files remains in force, saying no “client list” has been found or is being made public. She criticized the senators for past resistance to releasing Epstein flight logs, accused some of accepting donations from associates of Epstein, and declined to elaborate on her internal deliberations — stressing legal and victim-privacy constraints as reasons for non-disclosure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonail.com
In his memoir One Damn Thing After Another, former Attorney General Bill Barr reaffirmed his belief that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, dismissing widespread speculation of foul play. Barr described Epstein's death as “a perfect storm of screw-ups,” blaming systemic incompetence at the Metropolitan Correctional Center rather than conspiracy. He detailed how the facility's guards failed to perform mandatory checks, cameras malfunctioned, and protocols broke down at every level. Barr said that after personally viewing the surveillance footage and autopsy results, he concluded Epstein had indeed hanged himself, though he admitted the timing and circumstances were “unbelievably coincidental.” He also recounted informing then-President Trump, who reacted with disbelief that such a high-profile prisoner could die in federal custody.Journalist Michael Wolff took a sharply different angle in his reporting and in his book Too Famous. Wolff portrayed Epstein's death not as mere bureaucratic failure but as a politically charged event involving figures like Bill Barr. He claimed Epstein boasted before his death that Barr, not Trump, was “really in charge” in Washington—an assertion that Wolff framed as symbolic of Epstein's manipulative arrogance and deep connections. Wolff insinuated that Barr's Justice Department may have had incentives to control the fallout surrounding Epstein's demise, emphasizing how quickly official narratives were accepted and how conveniently they buried lingering questions. His depiction suggested Epstein's end fit a long pattern of elite protection and strategic silence rather than pure misfortune.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty to two criminal charges today at his arraignment.

He accused the group, recently designated a terrorist organization, of “carrying out a campaign of violence against ICE agents and other officials charged with enforcing federal law,” and said federal law enforcement will be “looking very strongly at the people funding these operations.”

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."

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney is making his second visit to the White House in five months on Tuesday under increasing pressure to address U.S. tariffs on steel, autos, and other goods that are hurting Canada's economy.U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi told a Senate panel on Tuesday that the Justice Department was ending the "weaponization of justice.” Bondi, appearing before the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee, said the department was "returning to our core mission of fighting real crime," citing the surge in federal law enforcement activity in Washington, D.C., and Memphis, Tennessee.
Staffing shortages at airports are causing delays as the government shutdown enters its seventh day. President Donald Trump says he's talking to Democrats about health care—one of their demands to reopen the government. The White House also says it will use tariff revenue to fund federal food aid for mothers and young children.Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House on Tuesday. The second visit from Carney this year comes amid a trade standoff between the United States and Canada. Trump gave Carney a warm welcome and said he was keeping an open mind toward a new iteration of the free trade agreement with Mexico and Canada.Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the Senate on Tuesday for the first time since her confirmation hearing. Bondi outlined the Justice Department's efforts to end what she said was the weaponization of government. Investigations are underway into the FBI's use of surveillance on Republican senators and certain activists during the previous administration.Tuesday marks the two-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. On this day in 2023, the terrorist group killed more than 1,200 people and took more than 250 hostages back to the Gaza Strip.

Kylee Griswold, managing editor at The Federalist and host of The Kylee Cast, is in for Jim on Monday's 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Kylee and Greg discuss the Virginia Democrats' attorney general nominee Jay Jones and his extensive texts wishing death for a political opponent and his children. They also discuss the ridiculously light sentence for the man who tried to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the media finally admitting facts about the D.C. crime rate that the right was touting months ago.First, they unpack the disturbing 2022 texts from the Virginia Democrats' current attorney general nominee, Jay Jones, who repeatedly told a Republican colleague he'd like "two bullets to the head" of then–House Speaker Todd Gilbert and even wished death upon Gilbert's child so it might convince Gilbert to change his mind on policy. Kylee and Greg break down Jones's weak responses to the scandal and the largely indifferent reaction from Virginia Democrats.Next, they recoil at a federal judge sentencing the man who plotted and tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh and other conservative justices after the Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked. While the Justice Department recommended 30 years in prison, Judge Deborah Boardman sentenced Nicholas Roske to only eight years. And a major factor seems to be that Roske started identifying as a woman after his arrest and Judge Boardman was worried about Roske in a men's prison. But Kylee also explains even more egregious actions by Boardman to whittle the sentence down to eight years.Finally, they shake their heads as The Washington Post suddenly discovers that D.C. police officials have been downgrading serious charges to make crime stats look better. Trump supporters pointed out this manipulation months ago when the president ordered a 30-day federal takeover of D.C. policing, but the media dismissed it at the time.

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales lays out his concerns about the indictment of James Comey and the Trump administration defying the norms of Justice Department independence.Gonzales–a Republican who supported Kamala Harris in 2024 due to concerns about Trump and the rule of law–says Trump's effort to direct the department to prosecute his enemies threatens to undermine public confidence in the justice system. Gonzales, who also served as White House counsel under President George W. Bush, also addresses Trump's use of the same emergency powers Bush exercised after 9/11 to confront issues like immigration and questions the legality of recent strikes against alleged drug boats in international waters.He comments on declining trust in the Supreme Court, the implications of its presidential immunity ruling for Trump's second term, and the failure of Congress to act as a check on the executive branch.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, The Tepper Foundation, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, and Pritzker Military Foundation.

Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that. I'm sure it's happened … Rory understands things like that are going to happen.”Fake billionaire manbaby “retirements” continue DRSpotify CEO Daniel Ek to Step Down.

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.

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Alan Rozenshtein and Anna Bower to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“A Higher Loyalty.” The Justice Department appeared to bow to the demands of President Trump last week when, over the reported objections of several senior officials, it successfully sought the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly false statements he made to Congress. But the prosecution is raising a lot of questions among legal experts about the procedures, the substance, and what exactly its odds are for success moving forward. What should we make of this move by the Justice Department? What does this tell us about the prospects for weaponization moving forward?“A Right to Bare Faces.” California has enacted a new law that, among other measures, will require law enforcement officers of all stripes to limit their use of face masks. But legal experts are torn on whether this policy can constitutionally apply to its clear target: the ICE personnel and other federal law enforcement officers who have started wearing masks for even routine law enforcement activities. How likely is the new law to achieve its goals?“Legal Code.” California has passed a first of its kind AI safety law, with the support (or at least acquiescence) of industry leaders. Does this point a way forward for AI safety legislation? And how will it make us safer?In object lessons, the AI overlords completely take over.

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.
