Resisting pressure from Donald Trump, a career prosecutor has concluded that there is no probable cause to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud.Assistant United States Attorney Elizabeth Yusi has worked at the Department of Justice for more than 18 years. And now she will run the risk of being wrongfully terminated by Trump for abiding her ethical responsibility to decline to prosecute someone based on insufficient evidence that a crime was committed.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support Glenn 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/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Federal judges are proving, over and over again, that the pen (the judicial pen) is mightier than the sword.Glenn discusses the temporary restraining order issued by Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, prohibiting Trump from federalizing the Oregon National Guard and sending them into Portland. And, when Trump tried to violate the court's order by sending the California National Guard or the Texas National Guard to Portland, Judge Immergut issued a second restraining order, in the middle of the night, prohibiting those deployments as well.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support Glenn 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/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two new court rulings and opinions show that federal judges continue to remain loyal to the rule of law and are willing to expose and rule against Trump and his DOJ's unconstitutional conduct.In one case, a federal appeals court ruled that it's an easy legal call to conclude that Trumps' attempt "to deny Americans their birthright" is unconstitutional.In a second case, a trial court judge ruled that the evidenced shows a "realistic likelihood" that Trump's DOJ is vindictively prosecuting Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and the judge ordered discovery on the issue.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support Glenn 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/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kari Lake is a failed politician. She ran for governor of Arizona and lost. She ran for the United State Senate and lost. She was successfully sued for defamation and was forced to settle. She has pushed the lie that Trump won the 2020 presidential election. So of course, Trump made her senior advisor to the U.S. Agency for Global Media. And now, Kari Lake is a defendant in a case being presided over by DC Federal District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee. As Politico reported, "Judge pauses cuts to US Agency for Global Media: Judge Royce Lamberth said the agency's 'concerning disrespect' for court orders under the leadership of Kari Lake would justify contempt proceedings." Glenn reviews this legal development, and he discusses whether Kari Lake may be heading for contempt charges.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support Glenn 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/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a deranged, demeaning, and dangerous speech to our nation's military leadership - officer and enlisted alike - Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump may have thought they could inspire the men and women of the military to switch their loyalties from the Constitution to a tyrant. They were dead wrong.The danger and dementia of Donald Trump was on full display as he addressed the leadership of America's armed forces. Trump tried to pit the military against the citizenry by saying the military should focus on "the enemy within." And he told them that they should use American cities as military "training grounds."If there was any lingering question about Trump unfitness to be commander in chief of the armed forces, he cleared that up with a speech that was as un-American as it was dangerous.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support Glenn 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/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Oregon has sued Donald Trump to stop him from deploying military members to the streets of Portland.Given that a federal judge in California has already ruled that Trump violated federal law when he did virtually the same thing in Los Angeles, this makes it clear that Trump's decision to do it again, this time in Portland, is a knowing, intentional, flagrant, and unapologetic violation of federal law. Donald Trump is pitting American citizen against American citizen, soldiers against civilians, military members against members of the Portland community. It seems beyond dispute that he is trying to orchestrate a civil war, where there is no cause for one, no reason for one, and no exigency that needs to be addressed. He's creating civil unrest, he's encouraging chaos, he's inspiring division, and one can reasonably infer he is goading, and even hoping for violence.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support Glenn 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/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
