Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Today - Glenn has an update on Special Counsel Jack Smith's latest activities as he continues to investigate the crimes of Donald Trump. First - prosecutors in Trump's classified documents case are asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to push the trial date back from August 14th to December 11th. Glenn explains this is because the case involves classified documents and Trump’s defense counsel is in the process of getting the necessary security clearances in order to view them. (Though they are dragging their feet!) Then, Jack Smith's 2020 election tampering/ January 6th probe is also blazing ahead. We now know that many witnesses and at least 2 fake electors are testifying before a grand jury in Washington D.C. If the fake electors have been granted limited immunity - does this mean prosecutors are nearing some charging decisions in the case?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today - Glenn evaluates why the FBI and the DOJ resisted opening an investigation into Donald Trump's role in the January 6th insurrection. A Washington Post report claims the DOJ shut down the requests of career prosecutors who were asking to open a probe into Trump's involvement in the Capitol riots. According to the report, it was due to a lack of evidence but was it more about appearing partisan? Then, when Trump announced he was running for office again, A.G. Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith and the floodgates finally opened.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 - we again discuss The Trump Trials. First up - Glenn does the weekly legal recap and talks about Judge Aileen Cannon's ability to be impartial. He then discusses a surprising move by Special Counsel Jack Smith who filed a discovery letter that turns over all of the grand jury transcripts. Directly following this letter - Donald Trump posted a message on his social media begging congress to help him. Did Jack Smith spook him with his letter? Then, Glenn says many people are asking him if the court can select a fair and impartial jury in Fort Pierce, Florida which is a deep red county. He says there are tricks the judges and prosecutors will use to make sure this will happen. Finally, Glenn recollects a time in his college days when a computer crashed and ate his homework - giving him a deep resentment of computers to this day.

Today Glenn discusses 2 different federal cases. First he talks about Hunter Biden reaching a deal with federal prosecutors on charges he failed to pay federal income tax. Glenn explains paying taxes late happens with regularity and most people are NOT charged so the GOP's claim he got a sweetheart deal is unfounded. Then Glenn talks about Judge Aileen Cannon who has set a trial date for Donald Trump's classified documents case and it's much quicker than anyone expected. He makes his predictions about whether there will be delays and when the actual trial will occur.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time on our weekend podcast Glenn gives us the latest updates on Donald Trump's legal battles. First he discusses equal justice between rulings in similar cases. Is it fair if a poor person has to go to jail when a rich person charged with the same crime goes free? Then, Glenn gives us 3 reason why Judge Aileen Cannon should step away from Trump's classified documents case. And then finally some good news about the Trump trials: there was no riots or violence in the streets by his MAGA supporters during his 2 arraignments even though Trump called for protests and it appears from his latest indictment that not only Trump's attorneys are testifying against him - many of his Mar-a-Lago employees have flipped and are spilling the beans on him as well.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time Glenn discusses Trump's arraigned in Miami as many people wonder if he was treated with kid gloves in court. He also explains the reason he thinks Trump wasn't detained and placed in jail. Then, Glenn talks about another person who was arrested for the same charges as Trump - but was treated much differently. He asks if that's fair and if this is equal justice for the powerful and the powerless?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time the discussion is about Judge Aileen Cannon and the impact she could have on Trump's classified documents case. Glenn wonders if she will favor Trump as she did last fall when a Special Master was appointed to the case. Legal scholars are saying Judge Cannon should recuse herself due to her past controversial rulings and her appointment to the bench by Trump himself. Glenn explains there are a few ways that could happen.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
