Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Another day, another attempted distraction from the Epstein/Maxwell scandal. As Trump's presidency continues to be dragged down by the Epstein debacle and the favors he's doing for Epstein's convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, Attorney General Pam Bondi announces a bogus investigation into Barack Obama and his administration for investigating the connections between Trump and Russia in advance of the 2016 election.The harder Trump tries to distract from and coverup the Epstein files, the more he seems to alienate his base. Moreover, new reporting shows that congressional Republicans are ratcheting up their involvement in the Epstein matter by subpoenaing former Democratic AND Republican officials to testify about the Epstein investigation. Suffice it to say, this story seems to have real legs.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.

It looks like Trump and company are already currying favor with Jeffrey Epstein's convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. News broke that Maxwell was transferred from FCI (Federal Correctional Institution) Tallahassee - a prison that houses men and women - to a low-security women's "federal prison camp" in Texas.As a career federal prosecutor, there were times when Glenn arranged for the transfer of inmates from one confinement facility to another. In this podcast he discusses the two most common reasons for an inmate transfer, and talks about the possible reasons why Trump's Department of Justice may have chosen to transfer Maxwell.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.

The District of Columbia Board on Professional Responsibility has issued a report recommending that former Department of Justice lawyer Jeffrey Clark be disbarred for his role in Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.The Report states: "On the merits, we conclude that Disciplinary Counsel proved by clear and convincing evidence that Respondent (Jeffrey Clark) attempted to make intentionally false statements when he continued to advocate that the Justice Department issue a letter containing falsehoods. Thus, Respondent's (Clark's) conduct constituted an attempt to make intentionally false statements about the results of the Justice Department's investigation. . . A majority of the Board recommends that Respondent (Clark) be disbarred.

With a big "FU" to the federal judiciary and the American People, Senate Republicans confirm Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney, Emil Bove, to the 3rd Circuit Federal Court of Appeals. The Republicans didn't care that Bove was credibly accused of telling DOJ lawyers that they would need to tell federal court judges "FU" and defy their court rulings if those orders interfered with Trump's deportation efforts. In a related story, Attorney General Pam Bondi seemed to take Bove's advice. In a midnight filing in the Epstein and Maxwell grand jury transcripts matter, Bondi refused to comply with a judge's directive to state whether, before filing the motion to unseal, the Government (meaning the DOJ) notified the victims of the motion to unseal. Glenn reviews these two sad developments that find the DOJ flailing and failing as an institution.

Pam Bondi's Department of Justice continues to try to gaslight the American people in new and ridiculous ways, filing a complaint against the chief judge of federal district court in Washington, DC.Notably, the Washington Post published a deep dive piece regarding the unethical conduct of the Trump administration in federal court cases: "Trump officials accused of defying 1 in 3 judges who ruled against him."The Post documented how Trump officials have defied court orders in 38 cases, given false of misleading information to courts 9 times, withheld evidence from courts five times, and created a pretext to go around court orders 5 times.Against this backdrop of defying the courts, Pam Bondi has filed a "misconduct complaint" against Chief Judge James "Jeb" Boasberg claiming that he engaged in "judicial misconduct" when he allegedly said at a judicial conference that he had "concerns that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts, leading to a constitutional crisis". And yet, that is EXACTLY what the Trump administration and his Department of Justice have done, are doing, and likely will continue to do.Glenn discusses the absurd nature of this latest Bondi gaslighting.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.

Senators Richard Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse are demanding that the Department of Justice release the tapes of the recent interviews with Jeffrey Epstein's convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney and current Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch reportedly interviewed Maxwell for nine hours. The only way the American people will be able to have any confidence in what Maxwell said is for DOJ to release the full recordings of those interviews.As Senator Durbin stated: there are "serious concerns that Ms. Maxwell may provide false information or selectively withhold information, in return for a pardon or sentence commutation."Glenn discusses this recent legal development, as well a related story involving Maxwell's latest court filing urging the Supreme Court to review and reverse her criminal conviction.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.

Donald Trump's Department of Justice lawyers can't litigate their way out of a paper bag. Of course, most of the blame lies with Trump himself. When he's not on the golf course, he's in the Oval Office signing unlawful and unconstitutional executive orders, one after another. Attorney General Pam Bondi then sends her third-rate DOJ lawyers into court to try to convince federal judges that Trump's lawless actions are lawful. And, they are losing in case after case, in courtrooms from coast to coast.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.

If Donald Trump thought suing the Wall Street Journal would get them to back off on their reporting about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein, it looks like he was sorely mistaken. The Wall Street Journal isn't backing down, it's doubling-down, printing a new story reporting that Trump is not only IN the Epstein files but that Pam Bondi TOLD HIM his name appears in the Epstein files.In a related legal development, a federal judge in Florida denied Bondi/DOJ's motion to unseal the grand jury transcripts in Epstein's federal case in Florida. Glenn discusses these two legal developments.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.

The federal judges are trying their best to protect the American people against Donald Trump's lawlessness and unconstitutionality. In a recent court ruling, DC Federal District Judge Emmet Sullivan - not only ruled that the Trump administration violated a federal statute that requires transparency and public disclosure about how the executive branch is spending ("apportioning") the people's tax dollars, but he directly and pointedly told the Trump administration, "stop violating the law!"In a very real sense, the federal judges are protecting the American people from an administration that is knowingly and intentionally acting in ways that violate the our federal laws.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.
