Podcasts about us attorneys

Four of Donald Trump's US Attorneys have been disqualified by four separate federal district court judges because the US Attorneys were appointed in violation of federal law. Now, a fifth judge heard arguments in a case in the Northern District of New York federal court in connection with some subpoenas that had been signed to investigate Letitia James. Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News attended the court hearing and brought us the blow-by-blow from outside the courthouse after the hearing. This an example of independent media and journalism at its best.

The Trump DOJ tells a federal judge to “F-off” again, this time in sworn declarations in a criminal contempt proceeding. NY AG Tish James is on the verge of getting a second US Attorney handpicked by Trump fired by a federal judge, as a grand jury stands up to the Trump DOJ. Ghislaine Maxwell may have just lost her lawyer, as a federal judge in Florida orders more Epstein files released. The Supreme Court may have opened the door to new congressional maps again, but given a clear path for Blue States to outmaneuver MAGA at its own game, and create more Dem new seats than MAGA. The Supreme Court can't help itself but to wade into another core Constitutional Right, this time about birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.

Sleepy Trump throws his Sec of Defense under war crimes bus, as knives are out to toss his FBI Director. Meanwhile, his DOJ under Pam Bondi tries to dig out from federal courts firing Trump's key US Attorneys, including re-indicting Trump's political critics. A federal judge saves Planned Parenthood from Trump/MAGA defunding, for a second time. Trump freaks out when he realizes that Jack Smith's Mar a Lago final report may be ordered released. And the Supreme Court gears up to decide whether Trump can fire at will any office or officer created by Congress.

“What was said, when was it said, and who was observing the operation as it was ongoing?” These questions are top of mind this week for Todd Huntley, Director of Georgetown's National Security Law Program and a former active-duty Judge Advocate for the Navy. He joins Mary and Andrew to lend his unique expertise to what the Washington Post reported as a “kill them all” order from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This order reportedly led to a second strike, killing two remaining survivors and, in Huntley's view, violating the laws of naval warfare and international law, which “give a protected status to shipwrecked personnel.” Mary and Andrew then take a moment to reflect on the tragic shooting of two National Guard members last week and an appellate court ruling affirming a lower court finding that Alina Habba's appointment as acting US Attorney in New Jersey was unlawful.Further reading: Todd Huntley's interview in The New Yorker: The Legal Consequences of Pete Hegseth's “Kill Them All” Order.

Tonight on NJ Spotlight News, James Solomon will be the Mayor of New Jersey's second largest city after winning a landslide victory over his opponent, former governor Jim McGreevey. Meanwhile - just to the north in Hudson County, another city is getting a new Mayor. Emily Jabbour eked out a win over fellow city council member Michael Russo.   Plus, after a federal appeals court ruled that Alina Habba has been unlawfully serving as the US Attorney for the district of New Jersey, what happens to cases tried during her tenure?   Also, family leave, hear how some lawmakers are trying to expand access while some businesses are pushing back.   And, we talk with tennis star and Jersey native Amanda Anismova about her stellar year and what's next.   

Federal trial court judges from coast to coast have ruled that Trump-appointed interim US attorneys are in their positions unlawfully. But this is the first time that a federal appeals court has ruled on that issue - specifically ruling that Alina Habba is is unlawfully serving in the position of interim US Attorney for the district of New Jersey. Glenn reviews this new legal development, what it means for the cases presently being prosecuted by the New Jersey US Attorney's Office, and the likelihood that the Supreme Court will now weigh in and accept the case for review.

In breaking news, a unanimous Third Circuit Court of Appeals just affirmed the disqualification of Trump's former criminal defense lawyer and political hack, Alina Habba, to serve as the US Attorney for NJ. Michael Popok explains how this is similar but different than last week's disqualification of Trump's other novice prosecutor Lindsey Halligan, and how Justice Sam Alito will likely be deciding soon whether Habba remains in her office while the appeal makes its way to the US Supreme Court.

In a huge blow to Donald Trump's attempt to seek revenge on people he perceives as his enemies, a federal judge has dismissed the criminal prosecutions Trump's Department of Justice brought against former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James. Judge Currie ruled that Trump flunky Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed as interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia U.S. Attorney's Office, and thus the indictments she obtained for Comey and James are null and void. Glenn discusses Judge Currie's new ruling and where these cases may go from here.

Trump's legal team appears to be a bit set back by legal rulings in the James Comey and Letitia James cases, but as the adage says, "It ain't over till it's over." The DOJ has six months to re-file indictments against them. And for general interest, two of our favorite villains, Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell are about to get in similar legal hock. Stay tuned!

Looks like Trump AG Pam Bondi is responsible for having both the Former FBI Director James Comey and current NY AG Tish James indictments tossed today by a federal judge, along with Lindsey Halligan as interim US Attorney in Virginia. Michael Popok digs deep into Judge Currie's earth-shattering twin rulings today, in which she rejects Bondi's appointment of Halligan as illegal, and scoffs at Bondi's last-minute series of retroactive ratification “memos” as she declares Halligan an illegal, non-prosecutor when she obtained the now dismissed indictments. Popok also explains who fills the immediate prosecutor vacancy (and it ain't Trump); and what is likely to happen next in the cases with emergency appeals and social media attacks by Trump and his DOJ.

In Donald Trump's second term, we've seen a flurry of pardons and commutations. Of course, every President is granted the pardon power, but with this administration, pardons often seem to have a price tag. We're joined by Liz Oyer, former US pardon attorney (appointed by Biden and fired by Trump), to discuss some of the shadier pardons doled out during Trump's second term (so far).  Oyer lays out how several of Trump's pardons are motivated by money, loyalty, and retribution. Of course, we discuss the blanket pardon of the January 6th rioters, but we also examine the pardon of cryptocurrency-crook Changpeng Zhao, who Oyer says "might be the most corrupt pardon in American history." We dig into Trump's current pardon attorney, Ed Martin, a political operative who believes in "No MAGA left behind." Even Republicans found him too extreme to be a US Attorney, so Trump put him in charge of pardons and commutations.  Plus, we get Oyer's unfiltered opinion of the Ghislane Maxwell/Jeffrey Epstein saga AND Hunter Biden's pardon at the end of Joe Biden's term.  READ Liz Oyer's Substack at https://www.lawyeroyer.com/ Check out our sponsor Ollie for premium dog food!

The lies around the James Comey indictment continue to grow, and we suspect we won't have Imaginary US Attorney Lindsey Halligan to kick around much longer. The US Attorney's Office in Maryland would like her to have some company on her way out. Meanwhile, MAGA's biggest nemesis, Judge James Boasberg in DC, is moving full speed ahead with criminal contempt hearings to figure out everyone in the Trump administration who decided to defy his orders. And Trump's strategy to openly demand that Republicans gerrymander even more Congressional districts in his favor seems to have backfired. Plus, for subscribers, we have a bonus segment on yet another judge having to tell a state no, OF COURSE you can't post the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.   Links:   The Redistricting Wars (Ft.

Donald Trump's decision to be an absolute piece of trash by snapping at a reporter "quiet, piggy" should be one of the easiest things for anyone of any political ideology to condemn. But we don't live in a normal society anymore, and Republicans are now tripping over themselves to DEFEND Trump's decision to prove to the world that he has absolutely no class and possibly the thinnest skin of anyone alive today. US Attorneys in several Northeastern states have confirmed that the Trump administration is planning massive raids on non-English-speaking churches during the holiday season in order to round up as many people as possible. This is one of the most diabolical moves this administration has made, and it goes against everything that these phony right wing evangelicals claim to believe in. The release of the Epstein files is inching closer after both the House and Senate voted this week to force a release of the entirety of the files. But that doesn't mean we'll actually see everything. According to Jeffrey Epstein's brother, Republicans in the Trump administration have been actively scrubbing the names of Republicans from the files in order to prevent any scrutiny - and perhaps avert any potential legal or political problems that Republicans could encounter upon release. The recent Nick Fuentes scandal has blown up MAGA, with some believing that it was perfectly normal for Tucker Carlson to interview Fuentes, while others understand that this is a horrible look for the Republican Party. The situation has gotten so bad that even Laura Loomer has come out and admitted that the GOP seems to have a very real, and growing, Nazi problem. But Fuentes is a symptom of a larger disease that has been festering inside the Republican Party for decades.Multiple judges that were appointed by Donald Trump himself gave the president and the Republican Party a lot of grief this week after smacking down lawsuits and policies that Republicans were depending on. The first humiliation happened when a Trump-appointed judge struck down his defamation lawsuit against CNN, but the biggest defeat were the conservative judges who threw out Texas' recently gerrymandered new district maps that were supposed to cement the Republicans' majority in Texas for a decade.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Donald Trump's support among Republican voters has cratered in recent weeks as the economic pain of his policies becomes too much for them to overlook. Even without the growing Epstein scandal, Republican voters were already turning against Trump over his policies - but the new scandal won't help him much, either. Trump is in serious trouble, and voters are going to take it out on the entire Republican Party next year.Attorney General Pam Bondi got absolutely trashed by the judge overseeing the joint motions from James Comey and Letitia James last week as they seek to challenge the placement of Lindsey Halligan as the US Attorney in Virginia. Bondi had told the judge via filings that the indictments are valid no matter what because Bondi herself looked over the grand jury transcripts before Halligan even got the job. However, the judge pointed out that this was an obvious lie because the transcripts didn't exist at that point in time. Bondi is in MAJOR trouble.Trump-supporting pastor Joel Webbon called upon Donald Trump last week to start rounding up his political enemies and throwing them in prison. Webbon made it clear that "sternly worded tweets" weren't going to cut it, and that he needed to go after politicians, judges, and possibly even average citizens who dare to stand to Trump. This is a form of psychosis that really should be labeled "Trump Derangement Syndrome," and it is not a normal way for a human being to think.According to a new analysis, inflation under Donald Trump has grown so much that the average family is spending an extra $700 per month on basic necessities. This comes as Trump continues to tell Americans that inflation isn't happening and that it is all a big hoax by the Democrats. American families are suffering, and the one person who can fix the problem is refusing to acknowledge that the problem even exists. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Trump has a new plot afoot to jail his political enemies like President Barak Obama and, based on new reporting, involves Judge Aileen Cannon and his hand picked US Attorney in Miami Jason Reding-Quinones, as career prosecutors quit rather than investigating in bad faith some imaginary “grand conspiracy” led by Trump and his DOJ, and right wing social media types like Mike Davis.

The government is open (finally) and it seems more and more like the Democrats caved, as nothing they were fighting for will be taken up, including and most importantly, tax credits for those on The ACA. Speaking of Healthcare, the GOP know there's a problem, they REALLY wanna fix it, but currently have no plans, except for maybe a reboot. And yesterday we spoke about a small provision in the bill to open the government that would allow elected officials to sue the American people, but don't worry, our guy Rojo wouldn't think of enriching himself with our money.

Former US Attorney Andy Luger says there is a new pattern of violent extremism that anyone with kids needs to hear. After months of mass and school shootings and targeted murders in Minnesota and our country, many of us are asking two related questions: Why is this happening now, and what can we do about it? The number and pace of these murders seems to be increasing, and we need to know what has changed in the last few years.Many mass murders, school shootings and targeted assassinations are committed by violent extremists, people who believe in violent means to achieve an ideological end. Whether they are white supremacists or al-Qaida style terrorists, they employ violence to further a societal goal.As horrific as these violent ideologues are, there is something more concerning gathering steam in the extremist world that has law enforcement and private analysts deeply concerned — loosely based nonideological online subcultures that glorify mass murder and self-harm for its own sake, not for some larger goal. As civic, community and political leaders look for solutions to the current wave of violence, this new development requires close scrutiny and creative solutions.I first learned about the radicalization of violent extremists in 2014. As U.S. attorney, I learned from experts how ISIS recruited young men in Minneapolis to become terrorists. I then learned about how domestic extremist groups used similar recruitment techniques to persuade the disillusioned to hate Jews, African Americans, Muslims and others.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Federal prosecutors in South Florida are preparing grand jury subpoenas as part of an investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan. In July, it was reported that former FBI Director James Comey and John Brennan were under FBI investigation over their involvement in Russiagate. CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred Brennan and Comey for prosecution over the summer. US Attorney in the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones is in charge of the investigation. Brennan has a long history of lying and he is now caught red handed!Sponsor:My PillowWww.MyPillow.com/johnPromo Code 'john' at checkout for max savings!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pam Bondi's Department of Justice has told the judge overseeing their political prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James that her office will NOT be complying with a recent court order. The court, at James' request, had ordered the DOJ to turn over all materials relating to Lindsey Halligan's appointment as US Attorney, as well as documents about her interactions with the grand jury. Without this information being turned over, it is likely that the case will be dismissed very quickly. Karoline Leavitt became visibly flustered and resorted to her usual lies when she was asked a question about Donald Trump's clearly failing health this week. The question specifically asked why Trump had an MRI and why the White House hasn't given a reason for it, and Leavitt claimed that even Trump didn't know why it happened, but she claimed that he's absolutely doing great. If any of this is true, then it is proof that his health is far worse than anyone thought.An adviser to Donald Trump told Axios this week that the President is prepared to make the lives of Republicans "a living hell" if they don't do what he's demanding of them, which is to eliminate the filibuster. But after this week's election results, Republicans are going to be even less likely to get rid of the legislative tool, as it is more likely to hurt them in the future. But Trumps' threat is real, and we know that because he's already made everybody else's lives a living hell.A 63-year old Donald Trump voter who recently retired to take care of her 26-year old daughter told NBC News this week that she desperately regrets supporting Trump after she lost her SNAP benefits. More and more MAGA voters seem to be coming around and realizing that Trump doesn't care if they live or die, and the stories of people abandoning the MAGA movement are becoming more frequent than Republicans want to acknowledge. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

There are new jobs numbers show out today and they don't look good for the economy or The White House, but don't worry, the economy is great and gas prices are great and you're doing great, even if you don't know it. We ask whether or not the jobs numbers, along with Tuesday's elections will give pause to even those who are in The MAGA stronghold. Then, Jim Santelle is a former US Attorney and host of Amicus: A Law Review and he talks to us about the case before The US Supreme Court regarding tariffs and why it might not be good for the Trump Administration.

In breaking news, Senior Federal Judge Currie caught that Trump's DOJ and Lindsey Halligan are trying to hide the grand jury transcripts and documents from her as she considers whether to disqualify Lindsey Halligan as the US Attorney and dismiss the indictments against Former FBI Director James Comey and NY AG Tish James. Michael Popok explains how bad trying to “spoon feed” and hide documents from a Federal Judge really is, as the AG Pam Bondi files “backdated” documents to try to save Halligan from dismissal.

In breaking news, a South Carolina Federal Judge who will decide whether Trump's novice prosecutor Lindsey Halligan will keep her judge, has issued a devastating order against Halligan, calling her “the indictment signer” only and refusing to use her US Attorney title, and ordering that “all documents relating” to her “participation in the grand jury” be turned over to the Judge. Michael Popok explains why this is so damning as the Judge considers whether to bounce Halligan AND whether she will throw out the Former FBI Director James Comey and NY AG Tish James Indictment along with it.

In an episode that is more befitting of George Orwell's 1984 than an American government in 2025, the Trump administration has retaliated against two federal prosecutors at the the DC US Attorney's Office for putting truthful, relevant, and necessary information into a court filing.The prosecutors filed a Sentencing Memorandum, as is usual in every case in which a defendant has been convicted. The sentencing memo read in part: "the defendant, Taylor Franklin Taranto, perpetrated a hoax on June 28, 2023, by falsely claiming that he would cause a car bomb to drive into the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The next day, he drove to a residential neighborhood in Washington, D.C., causing a substantial disruption to the residents and regional law enforcement. When the police responded to the scene of a potential car bomb near a restricted area that was protected heavily by the United States Secret Service, Taranto tried to flee and left his van behind. After securing Taranto's van and executing a lawful search of the vehicle, police found a CZ Scorpion, an M&P pistol, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his backpack, which he left in the van. Taranto unlawfully carried the pistols and unlawfully possessed the ammunition.The next day, on June 29, 2023, then-former President Donald Trump published on a social media platform the purported address of former President Barack Obama. Taranto re-posted the address on the same platform and thereafter started livestreaming from his van on his YouTube channel. Taranto broadcast footage of himself as he drove through the Kalorama neighborhood in Washington, D.C., claiming he was searching for 'tunnels' he believed would provide him access to the private residences of certain high-profile individuals, including former President Obama. He parked his van, walked away from it, and approached a restricted area protected by the United States Secret Service. He walked through the nearby woods and stated, 'Gotta get the shot, stop at nothing to get the shot.' After noticing the presence of the Secret Service he said, 'If I were them, I'd be watching this, watching my every move.' He also said, 'So yeah, more than likely, these guys also all hang for treason' and 'I control the block, we've got 'em surrounded.' When Secret Service agents approached him, Taranto fled, but he was apprehended and placed under arrest."The sentencing memo also stated: "On January 6, 2021, thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol while a joint session of Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. Taranto was accused of participating in the riot in D.C., by entering the U.S. Capitol Building. After the riot, Taranto returned to his home in the State of Washington, where he promoted conspiracy theories about the events of January 6, 2021."Apparently because the prosecutors put truthful and accurate references to January 6 and Donald Trump into the sentencing memo, within two hours of filing the memo the prosecutors had their government cell phones seized, they were locked out of their government computers, and they were removed from the US Attorney's Office.This represents unlawful retaliation against these prosecutors for providing truthful, accurate, and necessary information to the sentencing judge.In this episode of "The Prosecutors' Verdict" Kevin Flynn and I talk about this legal developments and the horrific precedent it sets for the independence of the Department of Justice and the practice of the law in our nation's courts.To find Kevin on Substack: https://kfflynn.substack.com/To find Glenn on Substack: https://glennkirschner.substack.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The psychopaths running the government are not going to let a crisis go to waste. They're taking advantage of the shutdown to cut SNAP benefits and fire civil servants — or they would if courts would let them. Plus, the Ninth Circuit and even the Supreme Court (GASP!) are putting the kibosh on Trump's plan to flood blue states with troops. And still, Lindsey Halligan, the wannabe US Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, is finding new and creative ways to screw up the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey.   Links:   Massachusetts v.

The last 24 hours have seen three important developments, both legal and political, that spell real trouble for Donald Trump and his administration.First: the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the lower court opinion in which two Trump-appointed judges decided Trump should be able to militarize the streets of Portland, Oregon. The appeals court will now sit in judgement en banc (full court) and hopefully put a more permanent stop to Trump's attempts to send troops into Portland based on Trump's "assertions that are untethered to the facts," as the trial court judge found.Second: As NPR reported, "Senate Republicans deal Trump a rare rebuke on trade with vote against Brazil tariffs."And Third: a federal judge in California ruled that the US Attorney for the Middle District of California was appointed unlawfully by Trump. This ruling has important implications for the prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James, and may result in those cases being dismissed.For Glenn's Substack: hhtps://glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A federal judge takes steps to ensure that Abrego Garcia isn't retaliated against and sent to Liberia in the next few hours. Lindsey Halligan is up to her eyeballs in hot water, with a new suit brewing about her destruction of public records in a new “Signal-gate” scandal, and a Clinton appointed judge about to decide whether she was illegally appointed as a US Attorney. 23 Blue State Attorneys' General sue to stop babies and children from dying at the hands of the depraved Trump funding cuts in an effort to blame the Democrats for the Shutdown, as a secret memo disclosing that a slush fund exists is revealed. Trump's latest lawyers who are trying to overturn his criminal conviction are accused of ethical violations. And Michael Popok sits at the Intersection to reveal these and other developments at the intersection of law and politics.

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

A bombshell new lawsuit is filed by Arizona to force MAGA Mike to swear in Rep. Grijalva and get the release of the Epstein Trump Coverup Files to a House vote. Trump tries to steal another $230 million from American Taxpayers seeking to arrange a phony settlement of a phony lawsuit of his with his corrupt DOJ. Trump tries to steal $400 million from a not that wealthy college in Miami to pay for his Presidential Library to park his stolen $400 million Qatari plane. Trump tears down the White House and will again unless he is stopped, and then freaks out about it and tries to stop people from taking photos and videos of it. It's been a rough 48 hours for incompetent Trump lawyers, as former FBI Director Comey files 2 motions to knock out Lindsey Halligan and his indictment for good, while Alina Habba has a rough day at the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to keep her US Attorney position. Lindsey Halligan accidentally leaks private messages with a reporter about the Leticia James prosecution. The 9th Circuit may have helped Trump deploy federal national guard troops in Oregon now, but will 11 judges of the 9th overturn the decision, and what will the Supreme Court do?

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

In breaking news, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, to Alina Habba's face, seems poised to bounce her as US Attorney for NJ and finding she was illegally appointed by Trump, impacting at least 26 other Trump picks while she's at it. Michael Popok brought the receipts with today's Oral Argument hearing clips, that went so bad for Habba that posted a social media post that actually lied to the American People and implied that SHE argued the case today when she didn't, and in a moment that undermines her whole case, FORGOT that Trump pulled her nomination for US Attorney a couple of months ago!

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