Why Mark Meadows's Court Loss in Arizona Spells Trouble for Trump's Criminal Case in DC

A federal judge in Arizona has rejected Mark Meadows' attempt to have his criminal case moved from Arizona state court to federal court, ruling that the things Meadows did with, at the direction of, and for the benefit of Donald Trump in tying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election - didn't constitute part of his official duties as Trump's Chief of Staff. This is not only bad news for Meadows, but it provides a preview of how Judge Tanya Chutkan may rule on the similar question of whether Trump's conduct was official presidential conduct entitled to immunity or unofficial conduct for which Trump CAN be criminally prosecuted.If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

To absolutely no one's surprise, Donald Trump and his lawyers just filed a request for a 30-day delay in the deadline to submit his brief in the appeal for his classified documents case.What some folks did find surprising - Special Counsel Jack Smith did NOT oppose the delay. Glenn says there are actually three reasons why Smith's decisions not to oppose the delay makes sense.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rudy Giuliani has failed in court yet again - this time in spectacular fashion. Giuliani had filed a lawsuit claiming President Joe Biden had defamed him in a 2020 presidential debate. Yet, after Biden's lawyer objected to Rudy's failure to prove personal jurisdiction to bring the lawsuit, Rudy "failed to object to the motion." The federal judge went on to rule that "Giuliani has utterly failed to carry this burden," and dismissed the case.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Donald Trump is being prosecuted for (among other things) lying to his supporters about stolen votes and rigged elections. He whipped them up into a frenzy and then he told them to go to the US Capitol and stop the certification of a presidential election. Put another way, Trump intentionally lies to incite violence. And now he's at it again. Trump is telling disgusting, despicable, and reckless violence-inducing lies about the Haitian community - and violence is again happening. All the while, Trump is on pretrial release. The law provides that if a defendant on pretrial release poses a danger to the community, his release should be revoked and he should be detained pending trial. Yet judges, prosecutors, and all institutions of government seem determined to sacrifice the safety of all Americans to the clear, demonstrated danger of Trump's reckless, violence-inducing lies. The Question is . . . why?If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It seems there's hardly a court case Donald Trump can't lose. The highest appeals court in New York has rejected Trump's attempt to get the existing gag order in his New York criminal case lifted. The appeals court rejected Trump's arguments and left the gag order in place while Trump's case is pending sentencing. Trump is circling the drain.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It looks like Donald Trump has finally brought people together, given that it seems almost everyone, including Brit Hume, believes Harris defeated Trump in the debate. Indeed, Hume, Fox's chief political analyst, said, "make no mistake about it: Trump had a bad night. This night was pretty much her night."If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The more JD Vance talks, the clearer it becomes that he's one of history's worst VP candidates. Not only does he mock, and alienate almost every conceivable voter group and demographic, but he just announced (in substance) that he would have helped Trump steal the 2020 election by supporting the fake elector scheme. Of course, the fake electors are being prosecuted in states around the country, as are the architects of the fake elector conspiracy. Undeterred, Vance seems to indicate that he would happily join those being prosecuted as one of their fellow co-defendants by joining the conspiracy to defraud the US, the conspiracy against voting rights, and by violating the Electoral Count Act. Not exactly the stuff of someone seeking to be Vice President of the United States.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As The Washington Post reported, "Trump pledges to jail opponents, baselessly suggests election will be stolen from him." In advance of the upcoming election, Donald Trump is again telling the big lie about voter fraud and stolen elections and again inspiring people to anger and priming the pump for violence.Trump has demonstrated a track record for inspiring and inciting violence using his transparent election lies. Yet the institutions of government seem disinclined to do anything about it, notwithstanding the fact that Trump is intent on replicating the circumstances that produced the violence of January 6th, 2021.Will our institutions of government just shrug and say, "Oh well, free speech." Notably, Trump's inflammatory rhetoric is designed to and is likely to incite violence. And THAT is not protected by the First Amendment. This time, will the institutions of government tasked with protecting the American people and American elections act before it's too late?If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered that Jack Smith file a brief on September 26th disclosing all of Donald Trump's acts on and around January 6th so she can litigate which of Trump's crimes and acts might be official presidential acts and which are not. And there was a remarkable statement made by Trump's attorney at the court hearing that Justice Clarence Thomas "directed" them to raise the issue of the legality of the appointment of special counsel and "suggested" they do it immediately. If this is true, investigations are necessary.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The first hearing in DC federal court in Donald Trump's 2020 election subversion case since the Supreme Court handed down its presidential immunity ruling has finally happened. Glenn was in court for the hearing and he discusses how Judge Tanya Chutkan would have none of the arguments of Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, who tried to convince her that she should not promptly litigate the very issue the Supreme Court directed her to promptly litigate, namely, which of Trump's crimes, acts, and conduct - constitute official presidential acts worthy of immunity and which do not. Glenn says: the hearing did no go well for Trump and his lawyers.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
