The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained and published letters of "apology" from some of Donald Trump's co-conspirators/co-defendants in his Georgia state RICO case, under the headline, "Exclusive: Apology letters surface in Fulton Trump case." The apology letters authored by defendants Sidney Powell and Keneth Chesebro are embarrassing in their lack of anything that approaches genuine remorse for their democracy-busting crimes in Georgia. Glenn says the people of Georgia deserve better than these disrespectful jokes of apology letters.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Judge Tanya Chutkan has ruled that presidents are not kings, presidents are not above the law, and Donald Trump CAN be prosecuted for the crimes he committed while in office. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed motions seeking an expedited review of Judge Chutkan's ruling in two courts simultaneously: the D.C. federal circuit court of appeals AND the US Supreme Court. Glenn says this podcast is a explainer, in layman's terms, of why Jack Smith is going with this legal belt-and-suspenders approach to litigating Trump's presidential immunity issue.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the event anyone thought Donald Trump's criminal defense attorneys would stop filing absurd court pleadings, here's the new headline from NBC News: "You're a mean one, Mr. Smith: Trump attorneys call special counsel the Grinch in court filing." Glenn says Trump's lawyers apparently think irreverence and insurrection go hand-in-hand. They're wrong. Then, A federal jury in Washington, DC returned a monetary award against Rudy Giuliani for $148 million for his vile, racist, defamatory lies against Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman. Glenn says hopefully this will deter harassment of other election workers in the future.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a #TeamJustice patron at:https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerFor our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rudy Giuliani told vile, racist, dangerous, and defamatory lies about Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman. Staggeringly, even after Giuliani admitted, in a court filing in the case, that he lied and defamed the two women, he went on to lie and defame them 20 more times, as the plaintiffs' lawyer highlighted to the jury during closing arguments. The jury decided Giuliani must pay $148 million for the damage he did to Shaye and Ruby - the two women who simply were doing their civic duty by helping support our election process.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a #TeamJustice patron at:https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerFor our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed an unusual request - asking the Supreme Court to swiftly take up the issue of Donald Trump's claim that he can't be prosecuted for the crimes he committed while president. Smith wants to leapfrog the case over the DC federal circuit court of appeals and have the Supreme Court resolve the issue quickly so the case can proceed to trial on schedule by March 4th. (This is assuming the court rejects Trump's claim that he is above the law). Glenn takes on the legal and the common sense implications of Trump's assertion that a president has absolute immunity while in office and can't be prosecuted for his crimes.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a #TeamJustice patron at:https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerFor our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donald Trump and his lawyers incessantly claimed that Donald Trump would take the stand in his own defense at his New York fraud trial. In fact, in recent days, Trump lawyer Alina Habba said Trump absolutely will testify because "he is not a coward." But Trump punked out, and decided not to testify in his own defense. Glenn says "I guess we know what that makes Trump in Habba's estimation."If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can becoming a #TeamJustice patron at:https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerFor our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Colorado Supreme Court has heard oral arguments on whether the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause means Trump will have his name taken off the presidential ballot. Glenn reviews some of the arguments made by the parties and highlights some of the absurd positions taken by Trump's lawyers. For example: they are claiming that the January 6th attack on the US Capitol wasn't really an insurrection because "it only lasted three hours" or because "it only targeted one building." Then, the DC federal circuit court of appeals largely affirmed the gag order Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed on Donald Trump, trying to address his dangerous speech and posts. The unanimous appellate court ruling stated, “Mr. Trump’s documented pattern of speech and its demonstrated real-time, real-world consequences pose a significant and imminent threat to the functioning of the criminal trial process in this case.” The court opinion also noted that many of the individuals Trump verbally attacked “have been subjected to a torrent of threats and intimidation from his supporters.” Glenn says perhaps the most encouraging sentence in the entire 68-page opinion is the following: "In this case, the general election is almost a year away and will long postdate the trial in this case."If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can becoming a #TeamJustice patron at:https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerFor our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time in our longform weekend podcast - Glenn runs down the legal stories of the week. First, Donald Trump said during Sean Hannity's interview - if he's elected - he'll be a dictator on day one. Even worse, he just put something in a new court filing in his criminal case in DC that indicates he also intends to act like a dictator in his criminal case - deciding legal issues himself rather than waiting for or abiding by legal issues as decided by Judge Tanya Chutkan. According to Glenn - this is a new level of danger Trump is injecting into the mix. Then, Judge Chutkan rules that presidents are not kings, and therefore are NOT absolutely immune from prosecution for their crimes. Glenn says her work is masterful and inspirational. Next, we now know that former Vice President Mike Pence is on the prosecution's witness list in Trump's Georgia state RICO case. Glenn discusses how Mike Pence's testimony will bring the criminal heat to Trump. Then finally, a new Jack Smith court filing reveals how one of Trump's "campaign employees/co-conspirators" attempted to start a "riot" at the Detroit, Michigan, vote-counting center on Nov. 4, 2020, once he saw the count was trending for Joe Biden. Glenn talks about how this co-conspirator statement will actually be sharply incriminating evidence at Trump's criminal trial in Washington DC. Judge Chutkan's written opinion is important reading, and may help reinforce (or restore) the public's confidence in the rule of law.Link to Judge Chutkan's ruling here:https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/...If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at:https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerFor our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
