Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Donald Trump intentionally destroyed the legitimacy of the Department of Justice. But given the results of the midterm elections, there will soon be a very real opportunity to begin holding accountable Trump's corrupt DOJ officials like Attorney General Todd Blanche and Civil Rights Division's head Harmeet Dhillon, on the road to repairing and rebuilding the DOJ.

One of the organizations that is at the forefront of the efforts to repair and rebuild the DOJ is Justice Connection.

Shortly before the elections, I sat down with Stacey Young, the founder & Executive Director of Justice Connection, to discuss the remarkable work of her organization and the coming accountability.

After the historic Republican loss in the midterm election, big changes in the Trump administration will start happening when the Dems take over congress in January. Glenn discusses what should happen to the corrupt people in office and what Donald Trump will do when accountability begins for the people in his cabinet.

If it's possible to run the numbers on all of the lawsuits ever brought in our nation's history, the biggest loser would probably be Donald J. Trump. In fact, Trump has had ANOTHER lawsuit thrown out, specifically another $10 billion lawsuit that he himself brought - dismissed by Judge Darrin P. Gayles, and this isn't even the first time this lawsuit has been dismissed. But it's going to be the last time it's dismissed because Judge Gayles dismissed it with prejudice. Glenn discusses this new development in the case.

Another rogue ICE agent has been criminally indicted. This time for using his unmarked vehicle to run down and run over an unarmed man: a man who wasn't wanted, a man who had no criminal record, a man who has lived in the United States for more than 30 years!

This is a good news, bad news story. The good news: maybe there will be some justice for this victim of ICE's lawlessness. The bad news: ICE, DHS, and the Trump administration continue to operate as a criminal organization, assaulting people, violating their constitutional rights, and then lying about what they did, covering up their crimes, concealing evidence from state law enforcement authorities - in a very real and direct sense, obstructing justice.

A federal judge (who's been on the bench for nearly 30 years) shut down the Trump administration's attempt to interfere in the upcoming elections. And wait until you hear what the judge said about what Trump's dirty DOJ is trying to pull. This opinion is one for the history books.

A federal judge has ruled that when Donald Trump's DOJ fired the highly acclaimed federal prosecutor, Maurene Comey, the DOJ violated federal law and her constitutional rights. Apparently, the DOJ failed to understand that as the Constitution commands, the president must take care to faithfully execute the laws of our nation. Donald Trump's Department of Justice has become a cesspool of lawlessness.

Donald Trump has priors on the election lies front. After his own executive branch and DOJ officials told him there was no fraud undermining his 2020 election loss, he indicated that he did not care, telling his officials, "just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the republicans in Congress". This is conclusive evidence that Trump's current corrupt schemes to interfere in the upcoming midterms are complete and utter bullshit.

Donald Trump, Todd Blanche, and Jeanine Pirro have again misused the power of the Department of Justice to push a story into the public square that they obviously hope will impact the midterm elections.

The DOJ has criminally charged two former career FBI special agents with lying to Congress about an investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop. Notably, they did not do what prosecutors normally would do in such circumstances - present the evidence to a grand jury to see if the grand jury agreed that there was enough evidence to indict the FBI agents. Instead, they seemed to have skipped the grand jury process and just filed a complaint against the agents, apparently to rush this information into the public square in the days leading up to the midterm elections.

Given that grand juries have, over and over again, REJECTED Pirro's attempts to indict people Trump wanted indicted...might this be why Pirro chose a complaint instead of indictment?

Glenn explains the difference between charging someone by complaint rather that presenting the evidence to a grand jury to see if there is enough evidence to indict the person.

A judge has ordered Donald Trump to testify, to sit for a sworn deposition in the $10 billion lawsuit he, Trump, filed against the BBC. So here's the question: after he is asked to please state his name for the record, do you think there is a single other question that man will answer truthfully? Also, what are the chances of this suit being dropped?

Glenn give his analysis of this new legal development.

Two of the most important words to remember in these times of danger for American democracy: courage and accountability. Courage exhibited by we the people CAN defeat an aspiring autocrat. But once defeated in the court of public opinion and at the ballot box, accountability is necessary if the victory is to be parlayed into creating "a more perfect union."

I sat down with renowned professor, author, and fascism expert Timothy Snyder to discuss the present precarious state of our union and the need to not just return to (relatively) normal times but to actually endeavor to create something from the Trump rubble that is better, fairer, kinder, more inclusive, more representative, and more decent - something that offers the prospect of true equality of opportunity for all.
