Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Federal prosecutors claim they have a recording of Donald Trump acknowledging that he kept and shared a classified military document about Iran. Glenn wonders how the D.O.J. can avoid indicting him and expect others to keep our nation's secret documents - a secret? Then, Glenn gives us three legal stories. First: the recording of Donald Trump discussing a classified military document on Iran is missing according to his lawyers. So what happened to that document? Second: Georgia D.A. Fani Willis has now broadened her case to include Washington DC and several other states. Does this mean new and bigger charges are coming? And third: former Vice President Mike Pence will not be charged in the discovery of classified documents at his Indiana home according to the Department of Justice. Glenn points out the big differences between Trump and Pence as far as classified documents in their possession. One of them did it by accident - the other on purpose.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this long form weekend podcast - Glenn starts off by discussing the new reporting that Donald Trump was caught on tape discussing documents he took from the White House that were still classified. This dispels Trump's excuse that his documents were all declassified. Then, Glenn wonders about the sudden rush of Republican politicians that are throwing their names into the 2024 presidential hat. Are they thinking they now have a chance because Trump is going down in flames? Next recap story is about the planned "Pardon Palooza" with Trump and DeSantis promising if they are elected they will pardon all J6 convictions. Then, Glenn puts together the many new nuggets of evidence that the Department of Justice is gathering on the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. The odds of Trump being indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith are growing each day. And lastly, Glenn talks about how he thinks we can reform the criminal justice system. Many larger companies and corporations seem to get away with crimes while the lower level common people seem to always pay the price. How can we even the score?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Employees at Mar-a-Lago have been helping Federal prosecutors piece together the steps Donald Trump took to remove classified documents from a storage room after he received a subpoena for them. Glenn prepares mock closing arguments for the jury to hear if he were the prosecutor trying the case against Trump. Next, Glenn discusses Oath Keeper Leader Elmer Stuart Rhodes being sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy. Then, he talks about Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis who are now saying if they are elected in 2024 - they will give pardons to people who were convicted in the January 6th insurrection.

Many of Donald Trump's lawyers have quit and are speaking out. Glenn says some of his attorneys are now predicting what will happen to Trump in the near future. And current attorneys for Trump have sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland saying that special counsel Jack Smith is unfair and asking for a meeting. Glenn reads through the lines and analyzes the timing of the letter as an indicator how fast the case is moving.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today Glenn gives his podcast outdoors while on vacation. First up - he untangles the knotted mess of Donald Trump's numerous lawyers. With so many lawyers and so many cases it's hard to keep track of who's who - and what attorneys are in and out. Then, Glenn defines a few words you might need to know when the Trump indictments start pouring in. He explains evidentiary standards including probable cause. And finally, the standards which jurors must use to decide a verdict are different depending on the case. Glenn explains what probable cause actually means vs beyond a reasonable doubt.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week - Glenn is on vacation but he recorded a special interview while he is away with stand-up comedian and comedy writer Buddy Winston.

Today, Glenn reads Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis' response to Donald Trump's attempt to disrupt her probe into his tampering of the 2020 election. Trump's motion is trying to get her fired, get the judge to be recused, and quash the special grand jury report. Glenn explains how she trashes Trump's motion. Then a new lawsuit brought by Noelle Dunphy (who is suing Rudy Giuliani for sexual assault and back pay) alleges that Giuliani sold presidential pardons for 2 million dollars each and split the money with Donald Trump. Glenn reads off her evidence and takes apart any defense Giuliani might try to wriggle out on.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The podcast today features 2 congressional committee hearings > one from the left and one from the right. First, Glenn discusses Mark Pomerantz. He's the former prosecutor who once oversaw the Manhattan D.A's investigation into former president Donald Trump's New York crimes. Glenn tells us he has now testified to the House Judiciary Committee, but things didn't work out for Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan. Next Glenn talks about the Republican billionaire mega donor Harlan Crow who has been lavishing expensive gifts and benefits to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Crow wrote a letter saying he is refusing to cooperate with Senate Democrats for information on what gifts he has given to Justice Thomas. Glenn explains why his plan to stonewall them won't work.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Glenn discusses the televised Town Hall meeting on CNN where Donald Trump let loose and spoke his mind during the broadcast. Glenn explains Trump is most likely giving prosecutors more evidence for their probe. Then Glenn talks about the Stormy Daniels hush money case.
