As Rolling Stone just reported, "Trump's RNC Hosts a Rowdy Celebration of Lawlessness and Crime." From Peter Navarro to Rudy Giuliani to the many criminally indicted fake electors who are attending, the RNC convention is a lawlessness-jamboree, a defendant-palooza. But there is one way to stop our government from morphing into one big criminal enterprise. And it involves November 5th . . .

Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner - Judge Aileen Cannon Insists on Litigating Frivolous Motions, Delaying Trump's Trial
play

06/27/24 • 22 min

Judge Aileen Cannon continues to give defendant Donald Trump - the very person who gave her her lifetime appointment as a federal judge - the delay he so covets. She continues to litigate frivolous motions that are forever being filed by Trump's attorneys, in an apparent attempt to delay Trump's federal prosecution in Florida as long as she can.

Glenn discusses how judges nearly always set trial dates as a way to set intermediate deadlines for motions to be litigated and resolved: no trial date, no intermediate deadlines. It is becoming painfully obvious that delay IS the point of Judge Cannon's refusal to set a trial date.

Glenn also discusses the fact that the normal practice in federal criminal cases is for judges to quickly and summarily deny motions without hearings when the defense can't meet its "burden of production" - the required showing that there is evidence and law supporting the motion they are filing.

Judge Cannon continues to prove that her "impartiality might reasonably be questioned" - which is the legal standard for a judge being required to leave the case - in favor of having a fair, independent, and impartial judge to preside over the case. Glenn takes on the seemingly unending stream of Cannon's shenanigans.

Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner - The Assassination Attempt of Donald Trump

The Assassination Attempt of Donald Trump

Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

play

07/17/24 • 11 min

Political violence is never the answer to our nation's problems, disagreements, and divisions. Political violence was wrong when Donald Trump perpetrated it on January 6th, and it was wrong when it was perpetrated against him at his rally in Pennsylvania. There is no answer yet as to why a registered Republican decided to arm himself with an assault rifle and do what he did. But one thing is clear - if we don't do better, then things will only get worse. Then, Glenn talks about Rudy Giuliani. Within days of losing a massive money judgment for lying about and defaming Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, Rudy Giuliani tried to hold off having his assets seized by filing for bankruptcy. However, he couldn't even do bankruptcy right. The presiding judge has dismissed his bankruptcy case, stating, "the lack of financial transparency (by Giuliani) is particularly troubling given concerns that Mr. Giuliani has engaged in self-dealing and that he has potential conflicts of interest that would hamper the administration of his bankruptcy case". With the dismissal of Rudy's bankruptcy case, Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman can now use all legal mechanisms to collect the $148 million he owes them, including seizing his assets.

After long-enduring obvious corruption, conflicts, abuses and potential crimes by Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, members of Congress are finally trying to do something about it. Senators Whitehouse and Wyden have formally requested that Attorney General Merrick Garland appoint a special counsel to criminally investigate Thomas and Alito for potentially violating federal financial disclosure laws, tax laws, false statements laws, etc.

In another breaking legal development, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced articles of impeachment for Thomas and Alito for their alleged crimes and abuses.

Glenn reviews the new reporting on these and other related issues and argues that these actions are an important first step to address the rot at the top of the Judicial branch of government

Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner - Cannon Sits on Jack Smith's Motions While Granting Trump's Motion in Hours
play

07/11/24 • 12 min

Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon continues to wear her Trump favoritism on her sleeve. A number of motions filed by Jack Smith have languished, remaining unresolved for months. As but one example, back in May, Smith filed a motion asking Judge Cannon to modify Trump's conditions of release to stop him from lying about and endangering FBI agents. Cannon has sat on that motion. However, Trump filed a motion asking Cannon to stay or pause a number of deadlines in his Florida case while he briefs-up issues regarding presidential immunity. Judge Cannon acted on Trump's motion IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS, ruling in his favor and giving him precisely what he wants. As has long been the case, Cannon's "impartiality might reasonably be questioned," which is the federal legal standard requiring her disqualification from the case. But, of course, she will ignore the federal law and continue to preside over the prosecution of the very defendant who gave her her lifetime appointment to the federal bench. Proving, once again, the fix is in.

If it already wasn't crystal clear that Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon should be removed from presiding over the prosecution of the very defendant who bestowed upon her a lifetime appointment as a federal judge, it is now beyond reasonable dispute. Judge Cannon ruled AGAINST Trump, denying his motion to dismiss the 32 espionage counts in his Florida federal prosecution, yet Trump then praised her and attacked Special Counsel Jack Smith for telling her - in a court filing - that she was wrong. However, Cannon denied the motion signaling that she will revisit it (and may very well grant it) once the trial starts, in which case Smith will not be able to appeal the dismissal.

Given Cannon's pro-Trump bias, the public will never be able to have confidence in the outcome of Trump's Florida prosecution unless Cannon is removed and a fair, impartial and unbiased judge is assigned to preside over the case.

Donald Trump thinks he can do one political photo op - attend the funeral of a slain NYPD police officer - and it will erase the FACT that he sent a mob to the US Capitol on January 6th to "fight like hell" and "stop the steal." His supporters proceeded to attack, beat and assault more than 100 police officers. Trump responded by telling the attackers he "loves them," that the are "very special," and that they should "never forget" that day." Then, he pledged to pardon them for the horrendous assaults they committed on police officers.

How dumb, gullible, and naive does Trump think police officers are - that they would support Trump and his efforts to pardon those who attacked police officers on January 6th?

Donald Trump is forever saying he hires only "the best people." Recent developments seem to suggest otherwise. Trump's long-time Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg, was previously convicted of participating in a 15-year-long scheme to defraud in connection with his work at the Trump Organization, and he went to prison. Upon his release, he was called as a witness at Trump's New York fraud trial and Weisselberg committed perjury, lying in an attempt to help his boss. Weisselberg has now pleaded guilty to perjury charges and is heading back to prison.

Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner - Allen Weisselberg Sentenced AGAIN for Perjury

Allen Weisselberg Sentenced AGAIN for Perjury

Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

play

04/12/24 • 12 min

Donald Trump's longtime Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg was sent back to Rikers Island after pleading guilty to committing perjury at Trump's New York fraud trial. Weisselberg had served time at Rikers previously after pleading guilty to being involved in a 15-year-long criminal scheme to defraud in the first degree while serving as the CFO for the Trump Organization. Given that Weisselberg has steadfastly refused to cooperate with the prosecutors and testify against Donald Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg appears to have made the strategic decision to prosecute him for perjury, making it all the harder for Trump to call Weisselberg as a defense witness at Trump's upcoming criminal trial in an attempt to undercut the prosecution's star witness Michael Cohen.
