Jack Smith has filed his opposition to Trump's motion to dismiss based on the Supreme Court's ruling in the Fischer case. In Fisher, the Supreme Court ignored the text of the federal statute that criminalize conduct that "obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding" and invalidated the convictions of the insurrectionists who did exactly that. So Trump filed a motion saying, in substance, "invalidate my conviction too," seeking to have thrown out HIS charges for obstructing the congressional certification of Joe Biden's election win. Glenn discusses Jack Smith's response which exposes the absurdity of Trump's claim.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
When will it stop? When will the institutions of government address Donald Trump's lies and violence-inducing rhetoric? Trump, JD Vance, and some of their fellow Republicans are telling lies about the federal government's efforts to help hurricane victims, and those lies are inspiring the following conduct, as reported by Newsweek: "Armed Militia 'hunting FEMA' Causes Hurricane Responders to Evacuate."

Lucas Kunce is running for the Senate from Missouri against "The Running Man" himself, Josh Hawley. With an upraised fist, Hawley encouraged and spurred on those who attacked the US Capitol on January 6th. He then lead the vote to refuse to certify Joe Biden's clear election win.Here's what the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said about Hawley: A local newspaper in Missouri wrote a scathing rebuke of state’s Sen. Josh Hawley, calling the populist Republican “quite possibly the worst sitting senator in America right now.”In an op-ed endorsing Hawley’s Democratic challenger, Lucas Kunce, the editorial board of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch admonished the Missouri Republican primarily for his actions during the Jan. 6th Capitol riots.The editorial board wrote that Hawley had a “singular role in spurring the violence” on Jan. 6th. According to the board, Hawley was “the first and initially only senator to announce his baseless challenge of the election results, setting in motion the grotesque events that followed.”Lucas Kunce served on active duty as a Marine for 13 years, devoting himself to a cause bigger than himself. Hawley wrote a book titled "Manhood," yet after supporting and encouraging the angry mob at the Capitol, when HE was in harm's way, he fled, leaving behind some of his more vulnerable colleagues.Unlike Hawley, Lucas Kunce understands that there is strength in kindness and empathy, strength in diversity and decency.There is no contest, Lucas Kunce is the right choice for Senate.To support Lucas, you can go to: lucaskunce.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Judge Tonya Chutkan has ordered the release of the evidence that supports the narrative of Donald Trump's January 6th crimes that appears in Special Counsel Jack Smith's 165-page brief. But, Judge Chutkan gave Trump and his lawyers a seven-day stay, before her release order takes effect, for them to consider any litigation options they might have. Spoiler alert: because this is not an appealable order, Trump's litigation options are slim-to-none, and slim is fading fast. Glenn discusses the ONLY possible litigation option - something called a writ of mandamus.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Just as Donald Trump 's COVID lies endangered the lives of the America people, Trump is at it again. Now he's telling lies about the government's response to the hurricanes that have been ravaging some of our southern states - lies that are being debunked by REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS like North Carolina's Chuck Edwards. And there are Trump supporters who are refusing aid from FEMA because they believe Trump's lies. One such person, as MSNBC reported, has no food and no electricity but will not accept aid from the federal government because he's been listening to the lies of Trump and believes the federal government will take his house if he accepts assistance from FEMA.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Bob Woodward's new book "War" reveals that after Donald Trump left the presidency he made many calls to Russian president Vladimir Putin.The Logan Act is a federal law that prohibits private citizens from engaging in diplomacy with foreign countries to try to impact disputes with that country. Notably, if Trump violated the Logan act after he left office, the presidential immunity his Supreme Court Justices gave him will not protect him.Of course, the Department of Justice would need to investigate Trump and determine if there is enough evidence to prosecute him.

New reporting reveals that Donald Trump and his administration controlled and constrained the FBI's investigation into the allegations of misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh, and they ignored the 4,500 citizen tips that came in regarding Brett Kavanaugh's unsuitability to be a Supreme Court Justice.As Axios reported, "Trump White House curtailed Kavanaugh probe, report finds."

As part of his investigation into Donald Trump's 2020 election subversion crimes, Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for Trump's Twitter/X account information. Smith also obtained a typical nondisclosure order directing that Twitter/X can not disclose to Trump the fact that the feds had seized his account information. This nondisclosure order - which prohibited disclosure to Trump of a period of six months after the execution of the search warrant - is entirely typical to protect ongoing investigations. But Musk challenged the nondisclosure order, claiming that it violated X's First Amendment free speech rights. Well, the US Supreme Court just rebuffed Musk, as reported by CBS news, "Supreme Court won't step into dispute over Jack Smith's efforts to get Trump's X information."Glenn discusses why the Supreme Court was right to reject Musk's petition for review.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Special Counsel Jack Smith's mega-brief detailing Donald Trump's election subversion crimes is breathtaking. The first 85 pages - the factual proffer - details all five of Trump's corrupt schemes to steal the 2020 presidency:1. Having his co-conspirators - his dirty lawyers - file more than 60 bogus lawsuits challenging the election results2. His pressure campaign on state election officials3. The fake elector scheme4. The pressure campaign on Mike Pence5. The insurrection - launching his angry mob on the US Capitol to try to stop the certifications of the election resultsGlenn focuses on the criminal conspiracy to convince Vice President Mike Pence to violate the law and corruptly declare Trump the winner of the 2020 election.Link to Jack Smith brief:https://www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Special Counsel Jack Smith's recent court filing details not only the crimes committed by Donald Trump but the crimes committed by his alleged co-conspirators, folks like Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, and others. Smith included this information for a reason: the legal doctrine of co-conspirator liability provides that once someone joins a conspiracy, that person can be held criminally responsible for every crime committed by every other member of the conspiracy, provided the crime was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the nature of the conspiracy. Conspiracy law further provides that every incriminating statement made by every member of the conspiracy is admissible against every other member of the conspiracy if the statements were made during the course of and in furtherance of the conspiracy. Glenn discusses, in English rather than legalese, these two legal principles as they apply to Trump and his co-conspirators, as detailed in Smith's 165-page court filing.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In anticipation of conducting the litigation the Supreme Court directed her to conduct on the issue of presidential immunity, Judge Tanya Chutkan placed on the public docket Jack Smith's 165-page motion setting out the crimes of Donald Trump and why he is not immune from prosecution.Smith's motion reads like a 165-page opening statement, showing why Trump should never again be allowed to get within a thousand miles of the Oval Office.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
As the Guardian reported, "Trump condemned for suggesting 'one really violent day' to combat crime."Donald Trump's only real policy position is that violence is the all-purpose solution to everything he claims ails America. This makes Donald Trump - a defendant on pretrial release in multiple criminal cases and on release pending sentence in yet another criminal case - the consummate danger to people in the United States. Given that the law provides that a defendant on release in a felony case should be detained pending trial, it's inexcusable that the institutions of government have failed to act to address the danger Trump poses to the American people.Assuming Trump loses the election, might prosecutors and judges FINALLY apply the rule of law and revoke Trump's pretrial and pre-sentence release?

Jim Jordan is STILL in criminal defiance of a subpoena. He violated a subpoena that sought his testimony about the democracy-busting crimes of Donald Trump. But Jordan chose to defy the subpoena and hide the evidence of Trump's crimes from Congress and, by extension, from the American people. Even with all that, Jordan created a "Weaponization of Government Committee" claiming that the Department of Justice is being weaponized AGAINST Republicans. This is an absurd contention given that, in recent months alone the DOJ has prosecuted democrat after democrat: Sen. Bob Menendez, Rep. Henry Cuellar, Hunter Biden, and most Recently New York City Mayor Eric Adams.Glenn had the interesting experience a few days ago of testifying before Jordan's subcommittee and was attacked by one of Jordan's "henchwomen" Rep. Harriet Hageman.

Trump appointed Judge Aileen Cannon did favor after favor for Donald Trump while she was presiding over his Classified Documents/Obstruction of Justice/Espionage case, and was reversed by an appeals court for abusing her discretion and acting in ways the law didn't allow. Then, Cannon dismissed Trump's criminal case contrary to prevailing precedent, which is presently the subject of an appeal by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Now, in a twist that is stranger than fiction, Judge Cannon has been assigned to preside over the criminal case of Ryan Routh, the persons who is charged with an alleged Trump assassination plot. So, the question becomes, should Routh's defense attorney file a motion to remove Cannon from presiding over a case in which Trump is the alleged victim?Glenn discusses the legal ins and outs of this strange development.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In rapidly developing events, Special Counsel Jack Smith filed his "oversized motion" detailing all the evidence of Donald Trump's January 6th crimes, and Judge Tanya Chutkan has set an October 1st (at noon) deadline for Trump's lawyers to file any objections to the redactions in Smiths' motion. Thereafter, it appears Judge Chutkan will rule on Trump's objections and then order Smith's brief to be filed on the public docket for all to see.

After being disbarred in New York, Rudy Giuliani was just disbarred again. This time, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals disbarred Rudy from ever practicing law again in the courts of Washington , DC, for the election lies he pursued on behalf of Donald Trump.

The most powerfully incriminating witness against Donald Trump is always . . . Donald Trump. As The Washington Post headline related: "With one exaggerated anecdote, Trump kneecaps his Jan. 6 defense."Glenn explains how a Trump story about controlling his angry MAGA mob with a single tweet will be admissible as sharply incriminating evidence at Trump's upcoming trials.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Supreme Court returned Trump's criminal case to DC Federal Court Judge Tanya Chutkan directing her to hold hearings to determine which of Trump's January 6th crimes involved official presidential acts and which did not. Trump's lawyers have filed a 34-page brief demanding that Judge Chutkan "dismiss" Trump's case "promptly." In other words, Trump's lawyers are urging the judge to disregard the directives of the Supreme Court and just toss Trump's case entirely, without conducting the litigation the Supreme Court directed her to conduct. Moreover, Trump's lawyers are demanding this prompt dismissal to " protect the integrity of the Presidency and the upcoming election, as well as the Constitutional rights of - the American people." This kind of absurd double-speak would make George Orwell blush.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Donald Trump and JD Vance knew the stories they were telling about pets being abducted and eaten by immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were lies, yet they told them anyway. As the Wall Street Journal just reported: "How the Trump Campaign Ran With Rumors About Pet-Eating Migrants - After Being Told They Weren't True". Ever since Trump and Vance knowingly and intentionally told those lies, the people of Springfield have been in danger. There have been more than 30 bomb threats made to government buildings, schools, and people's homes. Stating the obvious, these bomb threats would not have been made but for the racist and dangerous lies told by Trump and Vance.Will they be held accountable for the damage they've done to the city and the people of Springfield?If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Did Biden get hacked too??
Madeline Holland
Mr, Kirchner, For what it's worth, here's my opinion. SCOTUS will absolutely NOT tell 45 he has total immunity. Right now, Biden is POTUS, and that same immunity would apply to him. Does anyone think the court would do that? Thanks for letting me voice my opinion. Madeline Holland
jj sanz
Mr. Kirschner, I think you should change your catchphrase from "because justice matters" to "because justice used to matter" It's sad to see how corrupted the SCOTUS is.
jj sanz
But what if his biggest donors or even a foreign country puts up that money? Is that illegal the foreign country part?
