Who would have thought Senator Lindsey Graham could ever be a point of light amidst the Trump-induced darkness. But after Donald Trump said that Liz Cheney and the members of the January 6th House Select Committee who investigated Trump's January 6th-related crimes should be imprisoned, Senator Lindsey Graham directly contradicted Trump, saying those who investigated January 6th should NOT be imprisoned.

Judge Juan Merchan has denied Donald Trump's motion to throw out his 34 felony guilty verdicts based on the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling. This ruling moves the case closer to sentencing. Glenn discusses what Judge Merchan ruled and what's likely to happen next in Donald Trump's criminal case in New York.

The Hill has reported on the legal and criminal problems associated with several of Donald Trump's administration picks, under the headline, "These are the Trump appointees who have faced legal troubles". Given Trump's own guilty verdicts on 34 felony counts, together with the legal troubles of nominees like Charles Kushner, Peter Navarro, and others, the slogan "make America great again" seems less accurate than the slogan "make America felonious again".

Once Donald Trump announced that he intended to nominate Kash Patel as the Director of the FBI, the writing was on the wall for the current FBI head Chris Wray. The problem is, FIB Directors are appointed for 10-year terms to help provide some independence and separation between the FBI and the president and his administration. A president can only fire the head of the FBI for good cause. But rather than force Trump's hand into what would be a wrongful firing, Wray "obeyed in advance" and resigned. Wray said he was resigning because, in his opinion, it was best for the FBI. But is it best for the American people? Or for American democracy?

As we continue to look for points of light amidst the Trump-induced darkness, new reporting shows that Trump's demands that his New York civil fraud case and his NY guilty verdicts in his criminal case have been rejected by AG James and DA Bragg, respectively. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg refused Trump's lawyers' demands to dismiss his criminal guilty verdicts. Per USA Today: "'President-elect immunity does not exist.' New York prosecutors defend Trump conviction". NY Attorney General Leticia James refused Trump's lawyer's demands to dismiss his civil fraud case. Per Forbes: "New York AG Leticia James Rejects Trump's Request to Drop Civil Fraud Lawsuit".

It's being reported that President Joe Biden is considering issuing pardons to people who committed no crimes, but who are in Donald Trump crosshairs to be vindictively prosecuted. There are strong arguments on either side of this volatile issue: whether the people who investigated, exposed and attempted to prosecute Trump for his crimes should be given pardons - even though they, themselves have committed no crimes - to prevent Trump's weaponized Justice Department from wrongfully prosecuting those people. Glenn lays out the arguments on both sides of the issue.

Part 1 of a 2 part podcast. Donald Trump is doubling-down on his plan to prosecute the innocent - the members of the January 6th House Select Committee who investigated and exposed Trump's democracy-busting January 6th crimes.

Trump defiantly announced that he wants Cheney and the others in prison for investigating him. Trump's promise to vindictively pursue Cheney, Representative Bennie Thompson, and the other members of the committee, is an obvious and extreme abuse of governmental power.

Donald Trump has indicated he will nominate Kash Patel to be Director of the FBI. Glenn reviews some of the evidence that makes clear that Kash Patel is unqualified and the wrong person for the job.

Even as Donald Trump pledges love and pardons for the January 6th defendants - people he told to march on the Capitol and stop the certification of Joe Biden's election win - federal judges are sentencing defendant after defendant for participating in the very attack Trump directed. During four J6 sentencing hearings on Dec. 6th, several federal judges sounded the alarm, highlighting the ongoing danger to American democracy by those who would downplay or misrepresent the nature of the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

Donald Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet, and it seems his influence is waning. Senate Republicans rejected Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader. Trump's pick for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, had to withdraw after it became clear that many Senate Republicans would not support him. Trump named Chad Chronister as his pick to head up the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) but, after some Republican criticism, Chronister withdrew his name (causing Trump to play catch-up, thereafter claiming that HE pulled Chronister's name). And now, it looks like Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is on the fast rack to . . . nope. 

What do these developments tell us about Trump's influence and control over the Republican Party?
