Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

In typical "tail-wagging-the-dog" fashion, Donald Trump tries to distract the attention of the American people from his many and mounting problems by launching an unlawful attack on a foreign sovereign nation, Venezuela.

He then goes on TV on the morning of January 6th 2026, and gives a long, rambling press conference - his decline and dementia on full display - and tries to distract the American people from the fact that t...

The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, just made his first court appearance in federal court in New York. By all accounts, Maduro is a bad guy. However, the rule of law and the protections of our Constitution apply to bad guys. There's no bad guy exception to the protections enshrined in our Constitution

There are some reasons to believe that Donald Trump's DOJ is going to have its hands full in the Maduro case, partic...

We are living in the age of Trump-induced darkness: an executive branch that damn-near every day demonstrates a disdain for the rule of law and the United States Constitution. But there are so many points of light on the legal front.

Glenn recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the Culpeper County Democratic Committee to discuss the legal issues of the day. This is part three of a three-part series of his extended c...

In an absurd twist that makes a mockery of a once-respected law enforcement institution, Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have decided to create a 2nd Amendment Gun Rights unit at the Department of Justice.

They have gutted DOJ's Civil Rights Section, Public Integrity Section, and Environmental Crimes and Enforcement sections, apparently concluding that voting rights don't need to be protected, public corruption ...

In July of this year, Kash Patel's FBI issued a statement publicly assuring the American people that Kash and company had done an "exhaustive" review of all of the Epstein files - specifically assuring us the review was "thorough."

Yet now, we are told that Patel, Pam Bondi, and Trump's other DOJ leadership apparently missed one million Epstein documents.

Bondi is already in violation of the federal law that required ALL E...

The Supreme Court has put a stop to Trump's efforts to militarize the streets of America. Specifically, they ruled that Trump cannot federalize Illinois National Guard troops and deploy them to the streets of Chicago.

This is one of the first times the Supreme Court has pushed back on Trump's dictatorial zeal, and it's a ruling that likely will have broad implications regarding Trump's efforts to militarize Portland, Orego...

In little more than 24 hours, five legal developments broke that are devastating to Trump, individually and certainly in aggregate.

1. The Supreme Court FINALLY pushes back against Trump's dictatorial zeal

2. New revelations from the Epstein files are crushing Trump politically

3. A lawsuit was filed to remove Trump's name from the Kennedy Center

4. Judge Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to return to the United S...

Donald Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi apparently believes that she is above the law. She blatantly violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act by releasing only a small fraction of the files which is in violation of federal law. Bondi's lawlessness is serving to cover up the crimes of countless rich, influential, connected men.

The two sponsors of the bill, (one a Republican and one Democrat) have announced they are dr...

Did you ever meet someone and say to yourself, "Man, I'd really like to have that guy or that gal representing me in Congress?

Meet retired Army Brigadier General and Georgia cattle rancher Shawn Harris. Shawn is running to represent the people of Georgia's 14th Congressional district, the seat currently being occupied by Marjorie Taylor Greene.

With a 40 year career of public service/military service, Shaw is exactly the k...

When it comes to January 6, 2021, we see what Donald Trump is trying to do. He's trying to whitewash it, he's trying to rewrite history, he's trying to turn a day of what we all saw was democracy-busting violence and hate into "a day of love."

The good news is, Trump can't get away with it. Why? Because there are great journalists, authors, and historians who have documented or are documenting exactly what January 6 was rea...

In shocking new reporting by Reuters: "Unprecedented errors are eroding the credibility of Trump's Justice Department."

As Reuters further reported, "a federal magistrate judge said the errors were part of a broader pattern of unprecedented prosecutorial missteps, resulting in a 21% dismissal rate of the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office criminal complaints over eight weeks compared to a mere 0.5% dismissal rate over 10 years."

Jack Smith has testified to Congress. He wanted to testify publicly but Rep. Jim Jordan was afraid that the the testimony would make Trump look bad, so the Republican denied Smith's request to testify publicly.

After the testimony, Rep Jamie Raskin said Jordan "made an excellent decision in not allowing Jack Smith to testify publicly, because had he done so, it would have been absolutely devastating to the president and al...

I had the incredible good fortune of getting to know Rob Reiner in recent years. I even had the wonderful - and somewhat surreal - experience of appearing on stage with Rob in Los Angeles.

The first part of this podcast is dedicated to my remembrance of Rob.

The second part takes on the insanely indecent and offensive, not to mention false, attacks Trump made against Rob and Michele Reiner shortly after they were m...

No one can ever accuse FBI Director Kash Patel of learning from his mistakes. He got it wrong during the Charlie Kirk shooting investigation when he announced that the shooter was in custody, only to have to backtrack later when it was learned that the FBI had the wrong guy.

And now Kash has gone and done it again. He just made the exact same mistake by announcing that the FBI had apprehended the suspect in the Brown Univer...

We've all heard the saying "three strikes and you're out." Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and Lindsey Halligan have now struck out three times trying to prosecute New York State Attorney General Letitia James.

The first indictment that Lindsey Halligan unlawfully obtained against James was dismissed by a federal judge.

The second time involved another prosecutor who went into the grand jury and tried to convince them to indict J...

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noam looked into the cameras as said. "There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that should be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

That is an outright lie.

As but one example, 25-year-old Army veteran George Retes was ARRESTED AND DETAINED, unlawfully a...
