Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

In this episode of Justice Matters, Glenn joins Jody Hamilton as she fills in on the Stephanie Miller Show to discuss the rampant corruption permeating our political landscape. From the absurd calls for Texans to drive to California to vote illegally, to the ongoing issues with the Treasury Department, Glenn highlights the stark contrasts between past administrations and the current state of affai...

A federal judge has ordered the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to remove Donald Trump's name from its facade and official materials, ruling the Trump administration’s rebranding was illegal. The court also temporarily blocked the board's plans to close the venue for two years. Glenn explains - there's more good news as Donald Trump's popularity is shrinking drastically on his socia...

Today's legal development involves the $10 billion lawsuit Donald Trump brought against the IRS. He brought it against himself, because he controls the IRS. Then, Trump dismissed the case that he had brought against himself. AND THEN, he settled with himself for $1.8 billion of our tax money with which he created a cop-beaters fund. Now U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams; who's been presiding o...

A federal judge has temporarily stopped the creation of a $1.8 billion government fund to compensate individuals who claimed to be targets of political investigation by previous presidential administrations. Judge Leonie Brinkema barred the justice department from taking any steps to stand up or operate the fund - including processing or dispersing claims - until a preliminary hearing on June 12th...

It appears accountability is catching up to Pam Bondi.

After firing her as Attorney General, Donald Trump is now bringing Pam Bondi back into the executive branch fold. Let's ask the obvious question: after unceremoniously throwing Pam Bondi under the bus, why is Trump bringing her back? Could it be to keep her quiet about his involvement in the Epstein files?

It seems like actual lawyers are no longer drafting the motions, briefs, and pleadings that the Department of Justice is filing in federal court case. A brand new court filing in Trump's ballroom case reads like it was drafted, not by any self-respecting DOJ lawyer, but by a deranged, cognitively impaired, aspiring dictate, at 2 am, with a sharpie. And this new court filing repeatedly references h...

In breaking news, three federal appeals court judges, including two appointed by Donald Trump himself, struck down Alabama's redistricting because it was "racially discriminatory." Sometimes there are points of light that burst through the Trump-induced darkness.

Did you know that the January 6 attack on the US Capitol didn't happen?! That must be the case because there's no mention of the prosecutions of any of the January 6 rioters, attackers, or insurrectionists on DOJ's website - they just deleted it. Apparently, they think they can just erase it from American history by deleting it from a website. This is a sign of weakness, not strength. These people...

A federal judge has thrown out the Trump administration’s criminal, immigrant-smuggling case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, ruling that the prosecution was “vindictive” retaliation against the Salvadoran immigrant for winning a high-profile challenge to his deportation from the U.S. “The evidence before this Court sadly reflects an abuse of prosecuting power,” U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw w...

History often repeats itself. After the Watergate scandal, 48 of Richard Nixon goons were convicted of crimes, and 30 of them went to prison. Before they got caught, Nixon's criminal associates thought they were untouchable. After all, they were committing the crimes together with and for the benefit for the President of the United States. And they believed the president would save them. But accou...

Never give up on accountability - accountability for what Donald Trump and his dirty administration officials are doing to the American people, to immigrants, and to our democracy. In Minnesota, accountability has finally come in the form of criminal charges being brought for an unlawful shooting of an immigrant by an ICE agent in Minneapolis back in January. Never give up on accountability. Find...

In a breathtaking display of corruption and abuse of presidential power, Donald Trump is preparing to give our tax dollars to the rioters who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Put another way, Trump is about to reward with monetary payments the January 6 insurrections. Glenn says: as dark as things are at the moment, please remember: we have the midterms coming up. VOTE!

There are many nonprofit organizations that are populated by great lawyers who are bringing legal challenges against Donald Trump and his corrupt administration. They are filing lawsuit after lawsuit, trying to hold Trump and his minions accountable for their lawless conduct and for their violation of our rights. One such organization is Democracy Forward. They have filed perhaps more lawsuits aga...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's immigration case was in court once again and he and his lawyers continue to run circles around Trump's dirty DOJ lawyers, who are going into court being evasive, being misleading, and being vindictive. In short, Abrego Garcia continues winning in court because the law matters, the Constitution matters, and justice matters. Find Adam Kalsfeld on Substack: www.allrisenews.com...

We have all seen the Trump administration commit horrifying crimes against the American people, documented immigrants, and undocumented immigrants alike, up to and including the killing of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and others. Accountability for the crimes being committed by Trump and his administration can be achieved in at least two ways. One way is criminal investigations and prosecutions. But g...

New reporting reveals that FBI Director Kash Patel has ordered more than two dozen polygraph examinations - lie detector tests - for the people surrounding him at the FBI and others in the Trump administration. Wow! Talk about presuming all your are teammates are guilty! Nothing is more corrosive than a paranoid leader who sends the kind of disrespectful and demeaning message that accompanies a li...

We all know that Trump orchestrated and launched an attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, to try to retain power after he lost a presidential election. We know that in the aftermath of the Capitol attack, thousands and thousands of FBI agents and local police officers around the country, scores of prosecutors, paralegals, legal assistants, grand jurors, trial jurors and judges - tens of tho...

In recent days, the very notion of a free, fair, representative democracy has taken some body blows. First, the United States Supreme Court undercutting minorities having any fair shot at representation in Congress, and then second, the Virginia Supreme Court undercutting the express will of the Virginia voters on the redistricting front. So Glenn has decided - between now and the midterms, he's g...

In another abuse of the rule of law by Trump's dirty DOJ officials, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's lies are exposed. On the Fox network, Blanche first said that the Southern Poverty Law Center - an organization that the DOJ criminally indicted in what appears to be a baseless prosecution - never shared information it had gathered about extremist hate groups with the FBI/law enforcement age...

Apparently, one federal judge has had just about enough of Trump DOJ lawyers who are misleading the court. This story exposes the dangerous depravity of the Trump administration: a Department of Homeland Security official told a DOJ attorney to hide from a federal judge that a defendant who was appearing in court and seeking release had an outstanding murder warrant for his arrest issued by anothe...

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche went on some of the Sunday news shows and undercut the very case he brought against one of Donald Trump's perceived enemies, former FBI Director James Comey. You know the one: Comey snapped a picture of some seashells that had been arranged into the numbers 86 47, and posted it on Instagram with a cute caption like, 'a cool seashell arrangement I just saw.'

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth completely embarrassed himself during his congressional testimony with laughably transparent, inconsistent statements about the need to have launched a war against Iran. As our friends to the north - the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - put it in their headline: "Hegseth accused of lying to the American public about war in Iran during intense congressional hear...
