DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro has announced she's closing the criminal investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. But she also announced that she can reopen it in the future.Given that Republican Senator Thom Tills has announced that he will not confirm Trump's replacement for Powell until the DOJ's investigation of Powell has concluded, this seems like a transparent and cynical ploy by Trump and Pirro to placate Sen. Tillis. 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.

Donald Trump's flunky, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has sure taken a play out of Donald Trump's playbook regarding how to undermine the rule of law. Just say it out loud - announce your wrongdoing in the harsh light of day - so maybe people will think there's nothing wrong with what you're planning to do. But there is so much wrong with Todd Blanche's attempted destruction of the independence of the Department of Justice. His latest wrongdoing? He said the DOJ will start taking criminal referrals DIRECTLY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE!This is exactly the kind of corruption and abuse of power that we saw with Richard Nixon during the Watergate era. In fact, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, guardrails were put in place to prevent a president from being able to use the DOJ to go after his perceived foes. Todd Blanche has proudly announced he is tearing down those guardrails. He should probable remember that Nixon's attorney General, John Mitchel, went to prison for the corruption that defined Nixon's presidency.

It really seems like Kash Patel is fond of bringing defamation suits. Just as he files a new defamation suit... a federal judge throws out one of his other defamation suits.

Donald Trump is still being sued for what he did on January 6, 2021: launching an attack on the United States Capitol to steal a presidential election from the American people. He is still being sued by several police officers who were assaulted that day by his angry mob, and he is still being sued by democratic lawmakers who were under siege that day as a result of the Trump-induced Capitol attack. In that ongoing litigation, Donald Trump asserted that everything he did on and around January 6, 2021, was an official presidential act so he should be immune from being sued. A federal judge has now rejected Trump's immunity claim, ruling that lawsuit against Donald Trump will move forward toward trial. This is an important ruling on the accountability front. And it may even serve as foreshadowing for what might happen in the future in the event the January 6 criminal prosecution is reinitiated against Trump once he leaves office.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.

In the event you thought things couldn't go from bad to worse in the Epstein debacle, we are starting to hear talk of a possible Trump pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's convicted sex trafficking co-conspirator.At this stage, the pardon talk seems to be coming primarily from Maxwell's attorney, but this is a deeply troubling development. Pardoning Maxwell would represent horrific disrespect for the victims of Epstein and Maxwell's crimes, tearing open wounds that may have just begun to heal.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.

Donald Trump's dirty DOJ leadership is trying to use federal judges to whitewash the January 6 convictions of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys from the judicial record altogether. And if the judges agree to dismiss those criminal convictions, then Donald Trump's dirty DOJ officials will point to the judicial dismissals as proof that the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys now deserve millions of our taxpayer dollars because they were wrongfully prosecuted.So - Donald Trump is trying to make federal judges complicit in a scheme to steal taxpayer money and give it to insurrectionists. To the federal judges we ask you: just say NO! Because justice matters.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.

The Guardian reported "Trump reportedly says he'll issue mass pardons at end of his presidential term." This signals that Trump will be running his executive branch as a criminal enterprise , a lawless organization, a corrupt cabal of crooks. And then, at the end of his presidential term, he will pardon those who commit crimes in service to him.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.
