Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

There have been recent developments in the Georgia RICO case against Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, Kenneth Chesebro, and others. In a dramatic development, one of Donald Trump's co-defendants, Scott Hall, has agreed to plead guilty and testify at the trials against the other co-defendants. Glenn says this spells real trouble for Trump and the other RICO defendants. In another development, a federal judge has denied the motions by Jeffrey Clark and several of the fake electors to try to transfer their cases from Georgia state court to federal court. And a third development involves Trump announcing that he won't even try to move his case to federal court. According to Glenn - the dominos are falling and things are trending towards accountability for Trump and his co-defendants in the Georgia 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.

Judge Tanya Chutkan has issued a 20-page ruling denying Trump's demand that she recuse herself from presiding over his federal prosecution in DC. Glenn does a deep dive into Judge Chutkan's thorough, well-reasoned and persuasive written ruling.

In our weekend podcast this time - Glenn discusses the many losses of Donald Trump in court.In his court cases in recent weeks, Donald Trump has distinguished himself as . . . The Biggest Loser. He's on a world-class losing streak in both his civil and criminal cases, as Glenn discusses in this episode. As but one example, New York Judge Arthur Engoron just delivered a fatal blow to the business interests of Donald Trump, his adult children, and others in the Trump Organization, by cancelling their business certificates and ordering the dissolution of Trump's LLCs, spelling the end of Trump as a New York businessman. ON another topic, Trump recently threatened a witness who will testify in his upcoming federal trials, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley. Glenn talks about the law that applies to someone who is on release in a federal case who violates the conditions of his release, and how the law provides that someone who has done what Trump has done is to be revoked on pretrial release and detained pending trial. 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.

Donald Trump's lawyers have filed an opposition to Special Counsel Jack Smith's request that Judge Tanya Chutkan impose some limitations on Trump's speech, prohibiting him from threatening, intimidating or harassing the witnesses against him. The filing by Trump's lawyers reads like a combination of an extended tweet and a Trump campaign ad. Glenn explains why Trump's lawyers are dead wrong in their assertion that a judge who has placed a defendant on release pending trial has NO authority to limit that defendant's speech in any way.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.

Our criminal justice system is currently struggling. Donald Trump is on pretrial release in four felony prosecutions - two state cases and two federal cases. As a condition of his pretrial release, Trump has been ordered not to threaten the witnesses against him - yet, he has done just that. The Independent reports: "Trump suggests Mark Milley should be executed in possible breach of pre-trial release conditions." Glenn discusses the legal standard to detain a defendant pending trial. Given Trump's dangerous and deadly rhetoric against witnesses, Trump's pre-trial release should be revoked and he should be detained pending trial.

Donald Trump's former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, now adds to his troubles being sued for more than $1 million by his own lawyers for failure to pay his legal bills. This development is on top on Giuliani: being an indicted RICO defendant/co-conspirator in Georgia; being an un-indicted co-conspirator in the federal prosecution of Trump in Washington, DC; admitting to lying about and defaming Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman; having his law license suspended in New York; being recommended for disbarment in DC; etc. Glenn wonders if Rudy ever asks himself if he should've chosen another path, given that the choices he's made thus far have landed him precisely where he is at this moment. Then, new reporting on Trump shows his latest incriminating statement, as reported by NBC News: "Trump demands Republicans shut down government to 'defund' his criminal prosecutions." Glenn says there are several problems with Trump's recent hair-brained scheme: first, law informants, including prosecutions, are considered "essential governmental functions" and are exempt from federal government shutdowns. Second, Trump's statements may actually constitute an attempt to obstruct justice. Third, even if not technically a violation of federal obstruction of justice laws, his statements are powerful and admissible consciousness of guilt evidence. Finally, Trump even throws in a little aid and comfort to the insurrections by urging Congressional Republicans to shut down the government to stop the prosecutions against him "and other patriots," an obvious reference to other January 6 defendants.Trump has created and handed to prosecutors so much incriminating evidence that, once his criminal cases move into court proper, Trump is toast.For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise please 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.

During Donald Trump's interview on Meet the Press, he told lie after lie after lie, continuing his attempts to poison all future jury pools. Several media organizations, then attempted to publish articles - fact checking and correcting Trump's stream of lies. On the upside, Trump said things that destroyed his potential "advice of counsel" defense, so some may say, let Trump keep taking as he continues to incriminate himself. But at this point, Trump has incriminated himself so many times, that there's no value in continuing to platform him. However, when he's given airtime, his jury pool poisoning lies continue to imperil the people's right to a fair trial. Glenn says it's time for Judge Chutkan to issue a gag order and it's also time for all responsible news organizations to stop platforming Trump's lies. Then, new reporting has revealed that Trump's long-time executive assistant, Molly Michael, provided the FBI and federal prosecutors sharply incriminating evidence against him. She said Trump often wrote "to-do" lists on classified documents and gave them to her. Perhaps even worse, when the federal government was attempting to retrieve the boxes of documents at Mar-a-Lago, Trump told Ms. Michael, "You don't know anything about the boxes." He then asked Ms. Michael to falsely "Spread the word that there are no more boxes," even though she knew Trump was retaining dozens and dozens of boxes. Indeed, she even took pictures of the boxes at Mar-a-Lago and those photos ended up as exhibits in the federal indictment of Trump. Glenn says Ms. Michael will be a devastating witness against him at trial.For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise please 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 a new court filing, Special Counsel Jack Smith absolutely destroys the efforts by Donald Trump's attorneys to try to remove Judge Tanya Chutkan from presiding over Trump's federal trial in DC for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Glenn says Trump's filing has no merit. Then, Jack Smith has, at long last, filed another motion asking Judge Chutkan to issue an order restricting Donald Trump's speech and posts. Specifically, the proposed gag order requests the following:"The Government seeks a narrow, well-defined restriction that is targeted at extrajudicial statements that present a serious and substantial danger of materially prejudicing this case. The Government's proposed order specifies that such statements would include (a) statements regarding the identity, testimony, or credibility of prospective witnesses; and (b) statements about any party, witness, attorney, court personnel, or potential jurors that are disparaging and inflammatory, or intimidating."The only remaining questions are:1. Will Judge Chutkan issue the order? (She almost certainly will.)2. What will the judge do WHEN - (not if) - Trump violates the order?For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise please 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.

Judge Scott McAfee, the judge presiding over Donald Trump's Georgia state RICO trial, rejected the attempts of defendants Keneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell to sever or separate their cases from one another and go to trial alone. However, McAfee did sever the other 17 defendants out of the first trial and will set their trial dates in the future. Glenn does a deep dive into Judge McAfee's seven-page ruling and explains why it will hurt Trump in the court of public opinion to NOT be included in the first trial.For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise please visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at: https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerAnd 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 talks about the recent developments in Donald Trump's Georgia RICO case. Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee wrote an order explaining how he'll split the trial dates for the 19 Georgia defendants. Glenn says so far the judge seems to be on track. Then he discusses the pros and cons of not being the first to go to trial. Co-Conspirators Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell will be tried in Fulton County Georgia on October 23rd. Glenn explains this is both good and bad for Donald Trump. Then finally, Glenn gives us details on some upcoming public appearances at events like Crime Con.For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise please 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 him 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.
