Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

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...

Judge James Boasberg, chief judge of DC federal district court, has set an evidentiary hearing to determine which (if any) Trump administration officials intentionally defied his order to turn planes around that were carrying Venezuelan migrants whose constitutional due process rights had been violated.

Glenn sat down with Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News to discuss this new legal development.

Members of the military have a duty to obey lawful orders but must not obey patently unlawful orders. Given the administration's unlawful, deadly strikes in international waters, our troops are being put in difficult and dangerous circumstances by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

The National Institute of Military Justice has created The Orders Project to provide real-time, informed advice for military members who are trying...

First, Donald Trump sent his flunky, Lindsey Halligan, into the grand jury to indict New York State Attorney General Leticia James. However, given that Halligan was unlawfully appointed as interim US attorney - meaning she had absolutely no lawful right to set foot in a grand jury - the indictment that Halligan obtained against James was dismissed by a federal court judge.

So Donald Trump found another flunky to go back int...

In proof that the rule of law still matters and that federal court rulings still matter, one of Donald Trump's former personal attorneys, Alina Habba, has resigned after federal courts ruled that she was unlawfully serving as the U.S. Attorney for the district of New Jersey.

This represents a victory for the rule of law, a victory for the people of New Jersey, and a victory for the hundreds of hard-working, career public s...

Four of Donald Trump's US Attorneys have been disqualified by four separate federal district court judges because the US Attorneys were appointed in violation of federal law.

Now, a fifth judge heard arguments in a case in the Northern District of New York federal court in connection with some subpoenas that had been signed to investigate Letitia James.

Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News attended the court hearing and brought ...

In an obvious attempt to distract from any number of dumpster fires going on in the Trump administration - the Epstein files, the murderous Venezuelan boat strikes, or maybe just his inability to stay awake during his own cabinet meetings - Donald Trump posted to social media that he will be terminating all pardons and commutations issued by Joe Biden in the event he used an autopen to sign them.

Trump is forever exposing ...

It's been nearly two weeks since a federal judge dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Trump's Department of Justice has neither appealed the dismissals nor re-indicted the cases. There are several legal obstacles to resurrecting these cases without them being dismissed a second time, as Glenn discussed with former Palm Beach County Sta...

In Maryland federal district court, Judge Paula Xinis held a final, four-hour hearing in the Abrego Garcia deportation case, and things went poorly for Trump's Department of Justice.

In that same courthouse, John Bolton had an important status hearing that had some surprising twists and turns.

Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News attended both court hearings. Adam is know for his gavel-to-gavel coverage of some of the highest pr...

Federal trial court judges from coast to coast have ruled that Trump-appointed interim US attorneys are in their positions unlawfully. But this is the first time that a federal appeals court has ruled on that issue - specifically ruling that Alina Habba is is unlawfully serving in the position of interim US Attorney for the district of New Jersey.

The Washington Post has reported: "Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say" Kill them all." Hegseth's order, and the resulting murders in international waters, violates domestic law, international law, and the law of war.

A statement just issued by the "Former JAGs Working Group" concludes that the killings carried out on Hegseth's orders "are war crimes."

Glenn sat down for a discussion about this late...

In a dark day for the rule of law and for the voters of Georgia, a newly assigned prosecutor in the Georgia state RICO case against Donald Trump and more than a dozing indicted co-conspirators has decided to dismiss the case against all defendants.

Military law requires military members to disobey unlawful orders. Indeed, If a soldier obeys an unlawful order he/she could be court-martialed.

Yet Trump has set the Pentagon and the FBI on the six members of Congress who made a video stating, accurately and truthfully, that military members have a duty to disobey unlawful orders.
