A True Justice Warrior: Robert S. Mueller III

The Epstein survivors have filed a class action lawsuit against Donald Trump's Department of Justice for re-victimizing them by unlawfully publishing the names and identities of more than 100 victims, outing them, and causing them the following, according to the lawsuit, "survivors now face renewed trauma. Strangers call them, email them, threaten their physical safety, and accuse them of conspiring with Epstein when they are in reality Epstein's victims."Glenn discusses how, in the age of Trump, the Department of Justice has become an institution of injustice.

Trump and his DOJ's abuse of the American taxpayers continues, unabated.After Mike Flynn pleaded guilty - twice - for lying to the FBI, and later being pardoned by Trump, the Department of Justice just paid Flynn more than $1,000,000 in taxpayer money after he complained that he was treated unfairly by the DOJ previously. As independent journalist Scott MacFarlane reported: "Michael Flynn becomes latest MAGA ally to get taxpayer-funded payout."This video reviews the history of Flynn's legal entanglements and highlights why this latest payout is nothing more than a continuation of Trump's grift and corruption.

Here's something I'll bet we can all agree on: no one can accuse the current batch of congressional Republicans of showing any courage. They won't stand up to President Donald Trump. They won't stand up for the rule of law or the Constitution. They won't even stand up for their own constituents. It's almost like we need a congressional courage campaign. Here's some good news: there's a great nonprofit organization called Represent Us that has launched, and it's pushing and promoting, the Congressional Courage Campaign and I just sat down with the CEO of Represent Us, Maria McFarland Sanchez-Moreno to discuss the non-negotiable need for courageous members in Congress.

New reporting presents a real inconvenient development for Pam Bondi. Law enforcement officials in the United Kingdom want the unreacted Epstein files so they can hold wrongdoers accountable. In fact, London's top cop, Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the following, "there's a big body of that evidence in the United States in all those (Epstein) files, and at some stage we're going to need the unreacted evidence . . . we need the original copy and where did it come from and that's going to be necessary if we get to the stage of court cases" Now we already know that Pam Bondi won't disclose the full unredacted Epstein files to the American people, in violation of federal law - the Epstein Files Transparency Act - so the question becomes: will she disclose the unreacted Epstein files to law enforcement authorities in other countries so THEY can pursue justice?Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's crystal clear, if we want to keep our republic, accountability must come for Donald Trump and his criminal associates. One sure way that we can move in the direction of accountability is to elect former federal prosecutors to Congress.My friend and former colleague J.P. Cooney is running for Congress to represent the people of Northern Virginia. J.P. served the American people for 18 years as a federal prosecutor, as a homicide prosecutor, as a public corruption prosecutor, and, as Special Counsel Jack Smith's principal deputy - the number two guy on Jack Smith's team - J.P. and his team undertook to prosecute Donald Trump for the crimes for which he had been indicted. I recently sat down with J.P. to talk about his candidacy for Congress, and discuss how accountability for Trump and company is non-negotiable.Find J.P.

Today we lost an American hero, Robert S. Mueller III, or "Bob", as we called him when he was Chief of the Homicide Section at the DC US Attorney's Office, and we were his homicide team. He was our boss.As I have said publicly many times over the years, Bob Mueller was the single best leader and supervisor I ever had the honor to work for.We lost a lion of justice, a warrior for accountability, and an American hero.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A federal judge just delivered a huge win for the rule of law, for the American people and - not hyperbole - for global security, and a huge loss for Donald Trump, and one of his flunkies, Kari Lake.DC Federal District Judge Royce Lamberth just ordered 1000 federal employees to be allowed to return to work at Voice of America, ruling that Kari Lake had been unlawfully trying to dismantle the agency. This headline from The Washington Post: "Judge reinstates 1,000 Voice of America employees, deems wind-down illegal. U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth called Kari Lake's lack of cooperation in the case a 'Hallmark production in bad faith.'"Glenn discusses this important legal development.

A republican-controlled congressional committee has subpoenaed Pam Bondi to testify before Congress about "mismanagement " of the DOJ's release (or failure to release) - the Epstein files.

Kristi Norm has been referred to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation for allegations that she lied to Congress in her recent testimony. Given the evidence that recently has been reported clearly supporting the conclusion that she did lie to Congress, a case against Noem would be like shooting perjury fish in a barrel.But what will Pam Bondi do with this criminal referral?Glenn discusses these topics and more.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It seems like sometimes accountability can take forever. And then, it comes all at once. Remember all those Trump lawyers who got disbarred as a result of what they did during Trump's first presidential rodeo: Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, and others?Well, some other lawyers didn't really pay attention to that cautionary tale. One of them is Ed Martin. Donald Trump tried to make Martin the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia – the city's top prosecutor – but Senate Republicans said, 'not so fast, that's a bridge too far even for us', and refused to confirm Martin.And now, accountability is coming for Ed Martin, The New York Times just reported: "DC Bar begins disciplinary proceedings against Ed Martin. A new legal filing accused Mr. Martin, a senior Justice Department official, of an unethical pressure campaign against Georgetown University."Glenn discusses this development with his fellow former career federal prosecutor, Kevin Flynn, in a segment called "The Prosecutor's Verdict".Find Kevin at: https://www.kevinflynnauthor.com/Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
