Have you seen Donald Trump's political propaganda commercials, befitting of Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong Un? These are "dear leader" commercials commonly seen in dictatorships. And these commercials are being made with our money, with taxpayer dollars, inappropriately and likely unlawfully, because Congress appropriated that money to be spent in other ways. A federal judge has told Donald Trump to cease and desist - stop running the commercials. It's high time we voted this corrupt political party out of power.

Attorneys are fleeing Donald Trump's Department of Justice at alarming rates. It's not just a brain drain but an ethics drain as well. And that's on top of the people who were wrongfully terminated for holding the January 6 criminals accountable. Moreover, whereas the DOJ generally had thousands of applicants for each vacancy, there are reports that the DOJ is now seeing just two attorneys apply for some open positions. It's not surprising that attorneys have no interest in working under the corrupt "leadership" of Todd Blanche. Glenn sat down with former DOJ Pardon Attorney and federal public defender Liz Oyer to discuss some of the utterly unqualified candidates who are being hired by Trump's DOJ.

Another day, another vindictive prosecution by Donald Trump and his corrupt DOJ leadership. This time, they're going after a Republican former White House aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, for testimony she gave to Congress that was unflattering of Trump. This vindictive prosecution of Hutchinson will fail, just like the vindictive prosecution of James Comey failed. It was dismissed. It was thrown out. Of course, they're trying again with the great seashell caper case. That one will fail too. The vindictive prosecution of Leticia James failed, dismissed, thrown out. The attempted vindictive prosecution of Jerome Powell? That one never even got out of the grand jury because the judge threw out the grand jury subpoenas for being issued for an improper purpose. The attempted vindictive prosecution of six members of Congress, who basically did nothing more than cut a public service announcement video accurately stating military law: that military members must disobey unlawful orders. That one was laughed out of the grand jury. How about the prosecution of the sandwich thrower, Sean Dunn. Trump's DOJ couldn't get a felony indictment of Dunn AND couldn't even convict him in a misdemeanor trial. AND, how about the reflecting pool guy, David Hearn. That one was thrown out of court by the Judge. And on and on and on. It seems like the safest place to be if you never want to be convicted of a crime, is on Donald Trump's enemies list.

At a campaign rally, Donald Trump said about Iran - "let them take Los Angeles, let them take San Francisco, it's a small price to pay." Trump is grossly and inarguable unfit to continue serving as president. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

For years, Donald Trump has railed against voting by mail, falsely claiming that it is terrible, horrible, corrupt, susceptible to massive fraud, even calling it "catastrophic." Well, Trump has now put out a statement urging people to . . . vote by mail. Why does anyone still listen to this conman, crook, and abject liar? Glenn reviews how Trump has exposed himself as the liar he is (and has always been).

Donald Trump has pledged to give every American adult $5,000 if the Republicans take the House of Representatives and retain control of the Senate in the midterm elections. However, the federal law prohibits "expenditures to influence voting." Glenn reviews the applicable federal law and the Supreme Court precedent some say provides First Amendment free speech protection of Trump's $5K voter bribe.

In what might be the first possibility for justice for the killing of Renee Good by ICE Agent Jonathan Ross, Renee's family has filed two lawsuits: one - a wrongful death suit - against Ross, and the other, a Federal Tort Claims Act lawsuit against Stephen Miller, Kristi Nom, Tom Homan, and Greg Bovino. Glenn does a deep dive into these two lawsuits and discusses the possibility/likelihood that the federal government may ultimately seek to settle these suits rather than proceed to trial.

Todd Blanche filed an ethics complaint against 7 federal judges in Minnesota. First of all, this is performative nonsense, and reminiscent of when the DOJ sued 15 federal judges in Maryland, only to have the lawsuit promptly thrown out. But during a press conference to announce the ethics complaint; Blanche ADMITTED that the DOJ is defying court orders, and he even tried to explain why. This conduct is the stuff of disbarment, as well as the stuff of impeachment.

Glenn Kirschner speaks on Substack and counts down the ongoing failures of Trump, both in the legal realm and the political landscape. He outlines how Trump is currently on a losing streak, facing setbacks in courts across the nation, plummeting in political polls, and losing ground in the court of public opinion. He emphasizes that while Trump is preoccupied with his self-serving interests, the American people are suffering, and it’s crucial to hold him accountable.

In this episode of Justice Matters, Glenn Kirschner hosts the Team Justice Appreciation Party in Los Angeles, bringing together a community of justice warriors to discuss the crucial need for accountability in our legal system. Glenn reflects on the repeated failures to hold ruling class criminals accountable and emphasizes the importance of reversing this trend. He passionately advocates for a legal system that enforces laws fairly and equally, particularly against those in power who often escape justice. As Glenn shares his vision for the future, he outlines his plans to hold Donald Trump accountable for his alleged crimes, including the classified documents case and the January 6th insurrection. He stresses the necessity of presenting evidence to grand juries and allowing ordinary citizens to determine the fate of those accused of serious offenses.

Judge Timothy Kelly - a Trump appointee - has ruled that Trump violated the Constitutional rights of reporters from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, when he revoked their press credentials in violation of their due process rights. But, as Glenn explains, that is just the start of the saga.

Donald Trump unconstitutionally revoked the press credentials of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, and those three news organizations sued Trump for his unconstitutional conduct. During the hearing, Judge Timothy Kelly - a Trump appointee - was extremely skeptical of the arguments made by Trump's hapless DOJ lawyers about how Trump's actions had anything to do with national security. Glenn reviews today's court hearing and why Judge Kelly is likely to rule quickly against Trump.
