Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Members of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol have said in no uncertain terms that, if witnesses refuse to comply with congressional subpoenas they will refer those witnesses to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. This approach was unavailable to Congress during the tenure of Attorney General Bill Barr, as Barr was more interested in protecting a criminal president than he was in assisting Congress enforce subpoenas that sought evidence that could incriminate Donald Trump. This video discusses the laws and procedures involved when Congress seeks DOJ's assistance in enforcing its subpoenas.

Two defendants were just sentenced to relatively short prison terms for participating in the attack on the US Capitol on January 6. As reported by the Washington Post, there were two important aspects of the sentencing hearings: first, the defendants both said some version of, "I got swept up in the moment" and "I got carried away." What are the legal implications for the larger insurrection investigation of statements like this by defendants? Second, the Department of Justice prosecutors told the judge that those who "incite riots" and "intend to improperly influence the democratic process . . . will (suffer) consequences." How do these principles apply to Donald Trump and the others who inflamed, encouraged and incited the mob prior to the Capitol attack?

As more defendant's who attacked the US Capitol on January 6 have their cases resolved with misdemeanor pleas, federal judges are questioning the way cases are being handled by the Department of Justice. Here are the two questions posed by Judge Emmet Sullivan, the judge presiding over the case of insurrection defendant Dawn Bancroft, and how those two questions can be answered. This video also discusses why the facts inarguably support the conclusion that Donald Trump is criminally culpable for the January 6 attack on the Capitol.

The Republican Party has been trying to nefariously use the law in efforts to hold down, defeat and demoralize certain segments of the American populaiotn, from voter suppression laws to redistricting/gerrymandering to recounts/audits/fraudits and passing laws depriving women of their constitutionally protected privacy rights. However, this is NOT a winning formula for the Republican Party. On a related from, the Republican Party is working at the moment to shut down government. I it seems to qualify as irony that the party that incessantly complains about the (largely nonexistent) defund the police movement is about to defund our 700,000 federal police officers.

In reporting that is equal parts enlightening and frightening, it was reveled that Trump officials at the Department of Homeland Security Office were lying about and manipulating intelligence information about three topics: Russia wanting Trump to win reelection, the Mexican border and white supremacy in the US. A Trump administration official named Brian Murphy, a Republican, became a whistle blower when he reported that his DHS superiors pressured him to lie about intelligence to "burnish Trump's image." There is so much in our government that needs to be fixed in the aftermath of Trump's governmental degradation. Here is one concrete proposal that could help fix some of what Donald Trump broke.

Recent reporting revealed that Steve Bannon advised then President Donald Trump to "kill the Biden presidency in the crib." This is the language of seditions, rebellion and insurrection. Bannon then made his circumstances even worse by first admitting on his podcast that he made the statement and then trying to justify it by invoking a poll that showed 42% of the American people question the legitimacy of Joe Biden's election win. Here is why Bannon's attempt to justify his sedition statement will likely end up being used as a deeply incriminating admission in the event Steve Bannon is tried for his crimes.

The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol just issued four subpoenas for testimony and documents from Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Kash Patel and Dan Scavino. This raises several important legal issues, including: Is there really any viable claim of executive privlege to defeat these subpoenas? If the witnesses fail to comply with these lawfully issued congressional subpoenas, will Congress use all tools in its tool box to aggressively enforce its subpoenas? If legal challenges ARE launched in the courts, will the courts again allow nefarious litigants to weaponize the delay in the court system to run out the clock (as did people like former White House Counsel Don McGahn)? If the witnesses are actually forced to appear before Congress and placed under oath, will they testify or will they invoke their 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination? This video unpacks these and other issues surrounding these most consequential subpoenas.

Donald Trump just sued his niece Mary Trump and the New York Times for $100 Million (apparently taking his cue from an Austin Powers movie). Here's why Trump's absurd lawsuit is dead on arrival.
