Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Today Glenn talks about the indictment of Donald Trump in the classified documents investigation. First he explains why Trump will be tried in Florida. Many people are surprised the classified documents case will be tried in there and not in the nation's capital even though witnesses testified before a Grand Jury in Washington D.C. Then. he discusses Trump's public narrative about his innocence. He seems to have his defense ready to go on why he took classified documents to his Florida home. Glenn tells why this won't hold up in court. And winding it up - he runs down the hypotheticals and wonders what if Donald Trump becomes president again and how will he be able to manipulate his legal situation if he wins the election.

Donald Trump's attorneys met with Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team as they decide whether to charge him in the classified documents probe. Glenn wonders if they are trying to plea bargain. Then, he talks about Donald Trump's former Chief of Staff - Mark Meadows. New reports say he has testified to the Grand Jury in Jack Smith's investigation of Trump. Glenn speculates on whether he was given an immunity deal to secure his testimony against Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One of Donald Trump's lawyers - Evan Corcoran - recorded a voice memo about his representation with Trump in the classified documents case. The recordings provided insight into Corcoran's first meeting with the ex-president last year when he advised Trump to comply with the Justice Department subpoena seeking the return of all classified materials in the former president's possession. Glenn says the recordings hold important evidence for Special Counsel Jack Smith to use against Trump during his inevitable upcoming trial. Then Glenn explains there are other reasons to make this type of recording. It's possible Evan Corcoran may need them to defend himself against false accusations from Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

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.

And finally, the standards which jurors must use to decide a verdict are different depending on the case.
