Our criminal justice system is currently struggling. Donald Trump is on pretrial release in four felony prosecutions - two state cases and two federal cases. As a condition of his pretrial release, Trump has been ordered not to threaten the witnesses against him - yet, he has done just that. The Independent reports: "Trump suggests Mark Milley should be executed in possible breach of pre-trial release conditions." Glenn discusses the legal standard to detain a defendant pending trial. Given Trum...

Donald Trump's former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, now adds to his troubles being sued for more than $1 million by his own lawyers for failure to pay his legal bills. This development is on top on Giuliani: being an indicted RICO defendant/co-conspirator in Georgia; being an un-indicted co-conspirator in the federal prosecution of Trump in Washington, DC; admitting to lying about and defaming Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman; having his law license suspended in New York; bein...

During Donald Trump's interview on Meet the Press, he told lie after lie after lie, continuing his attempts to poison all future jury pools.

But at this point, Trump has incriminated himself so many times, that ...

In a new court filing, Special Counsel Jack Smith absolutely destroys the efforts by Donald Trump's attorneys to try to remove Judge Tanya Chutkan from presiding over Trump's federal trial in DC for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Glenn says Trump's filing has no merit. Then, Jack Smith has, at long last, filed another motion asking Judge Chutkan to issue an order restricting Donald Trump's speech and posts. Specifically, the proposed gag order requests the ...

Judge Scott McAfee, the judge presiding over Donald Trump's Georgia state RICO trial, rejected the attempts of defendants Keneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell to sever or separate their cases from one another and go to trial alone.

Glenn does a deep dive into Judge McAfee's seven-page ruling and explains why it will hurt Trump in the court of public opinion to NOT be included in th...

A federal judge just ruled that Mark Meadows failed to even make the minimal showing that his Georgia RICO prosecution should be transferred from state court to federal court. This finding is likely to be fatal to any effort Trump may have mounted to try to move HIS case to federal court. Glenn says this ruling means Meadows, Trump and their other criminal associates and co-conspirators will be tried in Georgia state court, and the trial will be televised and live-streamed for all to see. Then, ...

This time in our longform weekend podcast - Glenn runs down the legal recap of the week and he discusses how the rule of law is keeping democracy in place. The rule of law is the only thing that can right our American ship.

Constitutional scholars, both Republican and Democrat, are unifying behind one position: section 3 of the 14 Amendment disqualifies Donald Trump from holding any federal office in the future, including the presidency, because he engaged in an insurrection against the United States, after taking an oath to support the Constitution. Scholars say the constitutional disqualification is self-executing, requiring no act of Congress, no act of any state legislature, and no court proceeding, civil or cr...

Donald Trump has four serious felony prosecutions pending against him. Yet, he continues to say and post things that put prosecutors, judges, witnesses and jurors in harm's way. The legal test for whether someone should be detained pending trial is as follows: is there clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is either a flight risk or is a danger to the community? The evidence clearly establishes that Trump is a danger to the community. Glenn says he hopes that the judges soon apply the...

Glenn was in the courtroom for the status hearing in Donald Trump's federal case in DC for attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Donald Trump's lawyers made an absurd request of Judge Tanya Chutkan, asking her to put off Trump's DC trial for attempting to overturn the results of the presidential election until April 2026. Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team of federal prosecutors filed their reply, and they debunked and/or put in accurate context the ridiculous claims Trump's lawyers dumped into their court filing. In reading Smith's 6-page court filing, it becomes crystal clear that, in Smith and his team, we the peo...

We all know that Donald Trump is being prosecuted in four criminal cases. Glenn says it's curious that Trump just posted that he's fighting "7 cases (that are) all about election interference." Of course, the only one who interfered in an election is Donald Trump and his co-conspirators, many of whom are now indicted in a RICO case in Georgia. But Donald Trump's numbers don't really add up. Unless he has been informed that he's about to be indicted in multiple states for the very same fake elect...
