Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

A trial in Colorado is evaluating whether Donald Trump should be disqualified from running for president again based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Representative Eric Swalwell shares his experience during the January 6th insurrection. The podcast analyzes Trump's role in the insurrection and the ongoing trial for his disqualification from the 2024 ballot.

Judge Tanya Chutkan reimposed her original gag order on Donald Trump in his Washington DC case for trying to overthrow the 2020 election. Glenn explains she read to him some of his recent posts on his social media Truth Social to helpfully "spoon-feed" him some examples of what would and would not violate the gag order.Glenn says "Of course, the only remaining questions are: how long before Trump violates the gag order and what will Judge Chutkan do when he does violate it?"Here is the LINK to Judge Chutkan's order:https://storage.courtlistener.com/rec...Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at: https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerCheck 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.

Former Vice President Mike Pence announced that he's suspending his bid for the presidency, but vows to keep working to help "principled Republicans" get elected. At a campaign stop, Donald Trump mentioned that Pence dropped out, and laughed when someone in the crowd yelled, "Traitor!" Trump then said that Pence "could have done what he could have done," an obvious reference to Trump's continued lie that Pence should have violated the law - the Electoral Count Act - and corruptly declared Trump the winner of the 2020 presidential election. Glenn explains that Pence will have the last laugh (figuratively speaking) when he is called as a prosecution witness to testify against Trump at his DC trial, about Trump's illegal pressure campaign attempting to get Pence to go along with his criminal scheme. Then, New York Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Ivanka Trump must testify in the New York fraud trial against her father and her brothers Don Jr. and Eric. So now, Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, and Donald Trump himself are all expected to testify. Glenn says this is perilous terrain to the Trump witnesses in light of the fact that Judge Engoron has already found that Trump and others in the Trump organization engaged in massive, systemic, years-long business fraud. Now, the Trump's will have to testify about those very business practices.For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at: https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerCheck 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 today's longform podcast - Glenn talks about the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine: He says it's time to vote out every single politician who worships at the altar of unrestricted access to assault rifles, and stands in the way of gun reform. With our nation averaging 1.9 mass shootings A DAY, we can wait no longer. Then Glenn does the legal recap and says "Accountability" is the word for the day: First story - Special Counsel Jack Smith not only asks Judge Tanya Chutkan to reinstate her Trump gag order (which she temporarily paused), but also gives the judge a blueprint for putting some teeth into the order - namely, make it a specific condition of Trump's pre-trial release and jail him if he violates it. Next, Mark Meadow gets some form of immunity from Special Counsel Jack Smith and is compelled to testify in the federal grand jury about the crimes of Donald Trump. Glenn says the problem is, immunity - in many ways - is the opposite of accountability.And finally, as District Attorney Fani Willis continues to expertly execute the RICO playbook by strategically getting one Trump attorney after another to plead guilty, Glenn asks what does it say about accountability when these pleas come with probation rather than jail time?  Closing it up, Glenn gives advice on how you can make a difference and why voting - like justice - matters.For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at: https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerCheck 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.

As the dominos continue to fall, yet another former lawyer for Donald Trump, Jenna Ellis, pleaded guilty in the Georgia state RICO case. Ellis flipped, agreeing to testify truthfully against her co-defendants, including Donald Trump. But, given her statements in court during her guilty plea hearing, it's clear that the person she threw under the bus is another former Trump lawyer - Rudy Giuliani.Glenn discusses the guilty plea hearing and what Ellis said about the election crimes she committed with Giuliani not only in Georgia but in other states as well.Will Rudy be the next to plead guilty in District Attorney Fani Willis's RICO case?For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at: https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerCheck 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 our longform weekend podcast this time - Glenn gives us a rundown of this week's legal news and talks about his appearance tonight in L.A. First, Glenn takes apart Donald Trump's lies in the hallways outside his New York fraud trial. Trump is continuing to use his New York fraud trial as a way to grab media attention for his campaign and to fundraise. Glenn says it's only a matter of time before he violates the judges gag order. Second, Trump's social media platform - Truth Social - is actually promoting an account started by the Biden Campaign: @BidenHQ. Glenn says right off the bat it already has more followers than the Trump campaign account! Then finally, the D.C. court of appeals has sent a letter mocking Trump lawyer John Lauro saying he can't file an appeal for Trump because he's not a member of the bar for that D.C. court. Glenn says Lauro just keeps on embarrassing himself.Watch Glenn live tonight at the Saban Theatre in Los Angeles appearing with the Stephanie Miller Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour!

But within hours of her order, Trump was already making inflammatory statements at a rally in Iowa and putting reckless posts on his social media platform.Glenn reviews Trump's statements and posts to see if any of them violate Judge Chutkan's gag order.For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at: https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerCheck 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.
