Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Apparently, one federal judge has had just about enough of Trump DOJ lawyers who are misleading the court.

This story exposes the dangerous depravity of the Trump administration: a Department of Homeland Security official told a DOJ attorney to hide from a federal judge that a defendant who was appearing in court and seeking release had an outstanding murder warrant for his arrest issued by another country.

The DOJ attorne...

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche went on some of the Sunday news shows and undercut the very case he brought against one of Donald Trump's perceived enemies, former FBI Director James Comey. You know the one: Comey snapped a picture of some seashells that had been arranged into the numbers 86 47, and posted it on Instagram with a cute caption like, 'a cool seashell arrangement I just saw.'

Blanche claims that Come...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth completely embarrassed himself during his congressional testimony with laughably transparent, inconsistent statements about the need to have launched a war against Iran.

As our friends to the north - the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - put it in their headline: "Hegseth accused of lying to the American public about war in Iran during intense congressional hearing."

Donald Trump's dirty DOJ leadership has not only decimated the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, but they've actually weaponized that division to PERPETRATE civil rights abuses.

The Civil Rights Division is vindictively investigating former Trump administration official Cassidy Hutchinson, who bravely testified before the January 6 House select committee that investigated the attack on the US Capitol.

The lawlessness of Donald Trump's Department of Justice continues, unbated. The DOJ just vindictively indicted James Comey, again!

Recall that a federal judge threw out the last indictment against Comey. As ABC News reported: "James Comey indicted again, this time over seashell Instagram post. Trump claimed the "86 47" written in seashells was an assassination threat."

This indictment is also destined to be thrown out, for t...

DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro has announced she's closing the criminal investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. But she also announced that she can reopen it in the future.

Given that Republican Senator Thom Tills has announced that he will not confirm Trump's replacement for Powell until the DOJ's investigation of Powell has concluded, this seems like a transparent and cynical ploy by Trump and Pirro to placate Sen. T...

Donald Trump's flunky, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has sure taken a play out of Donald Trump's playbook regarding how to undermine the rule of law. Just say it out loud - announce your wrongdoing in the harsh light of day - so maybe people will think there's nothing wrong with what you're planning to do.

But there is so much wrong with Todd Blanche's attempted destruction of the independence of the Department of ...

Donald Trump is still being sued for what he did on January 6, 2021: launching an attack on the United States Capitol to steal a presidential election from the American people. He is still being sued by several police officers who were assaulted that day by his angry mob, and he is still being sued by democratic lawmakers who were under siege that day as a result of the Trump-induced Capitol attack. In that ongoing litigat...

In the event you thought things couldn't go from bad to worse in the Epstein debacle, we are starting to hear talk of a possible Trump pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's convicted sex trafficking co-conspirator.

At this stage, the pardon talk seems to be coming primarily from Maxwell's attorney, but this is a deeply troubling development.

Pardoning Maxwell would represent horrific disrespect for the victims of ...

Donald Trump's dirty DOJ leadership is trying to use federal judges to whitewash the January 6 convictions of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys from the judicial record altogether. And if the judges agree to dismiss those criminal convictions, then Donald Trump's dirty DOJ officials will point to the judicial dismissals as proof that the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys now deserve millions of our taxpayer dollars because...

Donald Trump claimed he never wrote a birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein and he sued the Wall Street Journal for defamation after they published the letter - complete with Trump's signature.

A federal judge has now dismissed Trump's 10 BILLION dollar lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal.

Glenn examines the lack of evidence in the Trump lawsuit.

Have you ever heard the saying "politics follows culture" or even "politics is downstream of culture"? Well, as of right now, there are some undeniable cultural signs that things are turning ugly for Donald Trump, which is evidently culminating in an exploding popularity of support groups for former Trump supporters and even former MAGA members.

Glenn discusses some of those cultural signs.

The Guardian reported "Trump reportedly says he'll issue mass pardons at end of his presidential term." This signals that Trump will be running his executive branch as a criminal enterprise , a lawless organization, a corrupt cabal of crooks. And then, at the end of his presidential term, he will pardon those who commit crimes in service to him.

First, Donald Trump tells us 'enough with the Epstein files, the country needs to move on. Then, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says, the Department of Justice is done talking about the Epstein files.

But talk about a surprising plot twist! Melania Trump dramatically steps to a White House podium and says not so fast, let's get congressional hearings back on track. And just like that, the Epstein files come roaring b...

Blanche said basically, if Donald Trump fired him as acting Attorney General, he would say, "thank you very much, I love you, sir!"
