Trump's DOJ Claims they Suddenly "Found" One Million More Epstein Documents!

In July of this year, Kash Patel's FBI issued a statement publicly assuring the American people that Kash and company had done an "exhaustive" review of all of the Epstein files - specifically assuring us the review was "thorough." Yet now, we are told that Patel, Pam Bondi, and Trump's other DOJ leadership apparently missed one million Epstein documents. Bondi is already in violation of the federal law that required ALL Epstein files to be disclosed publicly by December 19. Now, the DOJ tells the American people that the are going to need even more time to review these "newly found" documents. Glenn reviews the top five takeaways from this new legal development.

The Supreme Court has put a stop to Trump's efforts to militarize the streets of America. Specifically, they ruled that Trump cannot federalize Illinois National Guard troops and deploy them to the streets of Chicago. This is one of the first times the Supreme Court has pushed back on Trump's dictatorial zeal, and it's a ruling that likely will have broad implications regarding Trump's efforts to militarize Portland, Oregon, Los Angeles, California, and beyond. This development comes at the same time Trump is being devastated by new releases of the Epstein files, and at the same time - a lawsuit is filed to remove Trump's name from the Kennedy Center, and at the same time - a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to bring back the Venezuelan immigrants they unconstitutionally deported to El Salvador.It feels like Trump is losing power. And it seems like justice is trending.

In little more than 24 hours, five legal developments broke that are devastating to Trump, individually and certainly in aggregate. 1. The Supreme Court FINALLY pushes back against Trump's dictatorial zeal2. New revelations from the Epstein files are crushing Trump politically3. A lawsuit was filed to remove Trump's name from the Kennedy Center4. Judge Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to return to the United States - the Venezuelan migrants Trump unconstitutionally deported to El Salvador5. AND - even the horribly biased Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Canon threw up her judicial hands and agreed to release volume 2 of Jack Smith's special counsel reportNote: this is an example of the nightly Community Meetings I do on Substack.

Donald Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi apparently believes that she is above the law. She blatantly violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act by releasing only a small fraction of the files which is in violation of federal law. Bondi's lawlessness is serving to cover up the crimes of countless rich, influential, connected men. The two sponsors of the bill, (one a Republican and one Democrat) have announced they are drawing up articles of impeachment for Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for their obvious, cavalier, and even and militant violation of federal law.

When it comes to January 6, 2021, we see what Donald Trump is trying to do. He's trying to whitewash it, he's trying to rewrite history, he's trying to turn a day of what we all saw was democracy-busting violence and hate into "a day of love."The good news is, Trump can't get away with it. Why? Because there are great journalists, authors, and historians who have documented or are documenting exactly what January 6 was really all about. One of those authors is Nora Neus. Nora has authored a great new book that's about to be published called, "24 Hours At The Capitol: An Oral History of the January 6 Insurrection." Glenn sat down with Nora for an extended conversation about her important new book.Pre-order 24 Hrs at the Capitol: https://bookshop.org/a/84415/97808070...

In shocking new reporting by Reuters: "Unprecedented errors are eroding the credibility of Trump's Justice Department."As Reuters further reported, "a federal magistrate judge said the errors were part of a broader pattern of unprecedented prosecutorial missteps, resulting in a 21% dismissal rate of the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office criminal complaints over eight weeks compared to a mere 0.5% dismissal rate over 10 years." Glenn presents an inside perspective from someone who worked at the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office for decades as to how things are supposed to work, and how this horrific dismissal rate is attributable to a lack of leadership from Trump-appointed US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

Jack Smith has testified to Congress. He wanted to testify publicly but Rep. Jim Jordan was afraid that the the testimony would make Trump look bad, so the Republican denied Smith's request to testify publicly. After the testimony, Rep Jamie Raskin said Jordan "made an excellent decision in not allowing Jack Smith to testify publicly, because had he done so, it would have been absolutely devastating to the president and all the president's men involved in the insurrectionary activities of January 6." Glenn discusses the implications of Smith's testimony.

I had the incredible good fortune of getting to know Rob Reiner in recent years. I even had the wonderful - and somewhat surreal - experience of appearing on stage with Rob in Los Angeles. The first part of this podcast is dedicated to my remembrance of Rob. The second part takes on the insanely indecent and offensive, not to mention false, attacks Trump made against Rob and Michele Reiner shortly after they were murdered. Trump's unfitness for office is as clear as it is necessary for the health and well being of the body politic, and American people, and the continued viability of our democracy.
