Kristi Noem's Lies Exposed and Documented

We've all heard the saying "three strikes and you're out." Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and Lindsey Halligan have now struck out three times trying to prosecute New York State Attorney General Letitia James. The first indictment that Lindsey Halligan unlawfully obtained against James was dismissed by a federal judge. The second time involved another prosecutor who went into the grand jury and tried to convince them to indict James. The grand jury concluded there was not sufficient evidence to indict her, and refused to do so.Undeterred, DOJ tried to indict James again, and yet again the grand jury said no. This is an example of the American people - the members of the grand jury - standing up to the prosecutorial overreach, abuse, and misconduct of Trump, Bondi, and Halligan.Glenn also discusses the prosecutor from Missouri that the DOJ has now sent into the grand jury TWICE to fail.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noam looked into the cameras as said. "There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that should be different than that is simply not true and false reporting." That is an outright lie. As but one example, 25-year-old Army veteran George Retes was ARRESTED AND DETAINED, unlawfully and unconstitutionally, a fact that was documented on video.A great pro-democracy, nonprofit organization, Home of the Brave, has release a powerful video exposing and documenting what George Retes suffered at the hands of a lawless Trump administration.One of the most important ways to combat the unconstitutional conduct of Trump and company is to stand up, speak out, and document how Trump's lawless policies are hurting We the People. And that is precisely what Home of the Brave is doing. Glenn sat down with Home of the Brave's Sarah Matthew to discuss the organization's mission. Sarah served as White House Deputy Press Secretary in the first Trump administration but resigned after the Trump-inspired attack on the United States Capitol, and ever since, she has been a vocal critic of Trump.Link to Home of the Brave: www.ofthebrave.org Find Glen 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.

Judge James Boasberg, chief judge of DC federal district court, has set an evidentiary hearing to determine which (if any) Trump administration officials intentionally defied his order to turn planes around that were carrying Venezuelan migrants whose constitutional due process rights had been violated.

Members of the military have a duty to obey lawful orders but must not obey patently unlawful orders. Given the administration's unlawful, deadly strikes in international waters, our troops are being put in difficult and dangerous circumstances by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth. The National Institute of Military Justice has created The Orders Project to provide real-time, informed advice for military members who are trying to lawfully navigate the difficult situation in which they are being put. Glenn spoke with Treb Courie, Legal Director for The Orders Project, about the services available to our military members.

First, Donald Trump sent his flunky, Lindsey Halligan, into the grand jury to indict New York State Attorney General Leticia James. However, given that Halligan was unlawfully appointed as interim US attorney - meaning she had absolutely no lawful right to set foot in a grand jury - the indictment that Halligan obtained against James was dismissed by a federal court judge.So Donald Trump found another flunky to go back into the grand jury and try to indict James again. The problem this time was that the grand jurors, sitting as the conscience of the community, refused to indict James, because the prosecutor did not have adequate evidence to support an indictment.In the event Donald Trump has his dirty DOJ leadership send someone back into the grand jury to try again, the third time will not be a charm.Glenn reviews the sad state of affairs involving Department of Justice leadership that is acting lawlessly, vindictively, and on the whims of a corrupt president of the United States. Glenn also reviews grand jury procedures in depth, and highlights why any indictment that is obtained in the future will almost certainly be dismissed as the product of a vindictive prosecution.

In proof that the rule of law still matters and that federal court rulings still matter, one of Donald Trump's former personal attorneys, Alina Habba, has resigned after federal courts ruled that she was unlawfully serving as the U.S. Attorney for the district of New Jersey. This represents a victory for the rule of law, a victory for the people of New Jersey, and a victory for the hundreds of hard-working, career public servants/federal prosecutors who work at the New Jersey U.S. Attorney's office. Now let's hope that other flunky U.S. attorneys who are serving in their positions unlawfully - also follow suit and resign.

Four of Donald Trump's US Attorneys have been disqualified by four separate federal district court judges because the US Attorneys were appointed in violation of federal law. Now, a fifth judge heard arguments in a case in the Northern District of New York federal court in connection with some subpoenas that had been signed to investigate Letitia James. Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News attended the court hearing and brought us the blow-by-blow from outside the courthouse after the hearing.

In an obvious attempt to distract from any number of dumpster fires going on in the Trump administration - the Epstein files, the murderous Venezuelan boat strikes, or maybe just his inability to stay awake during his own cabinet meetings - Donald Trump posted to social media that he will be terminating all pardons and commutations issued by Joe Biden in the event he used an autopen to sign them. Trump is forever exposing himself as not knowing what he's talking about, not to mention being supremely unfit for office, because a president of the United States has no lawful authority to revoke a pardon or commutation issued by a prior president. Glenn sat down with law professor and constitutional scholar Kim Whaley to discuss this topic.Kim has authored a wonderful, authoritative book on the pardon power titled (appropriately), "Pardon Power: How The Pardon System Works - And Why."Find Kim on Substack: kimwehle.substack.comTo purchase Pardon Power: https://kimberlywehle.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.

It's been nearly two weeks since a federal judge dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Trump's Department of Justice has neither appealed the dismissals nor re-indicted the cases. There are several legal obstacles to resurrecting these cases without them being dismissed a second time, as Glenn discussed with former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg.

In Maryland federal district court, Judge Paula Xinis held a final, four-hour hearing in the Abrego Garcia deportation case, and things went poorly for Trump's Department of Justice. In that same courthouse, John Bolton had an important status hearing that had some surprising twists and turns. Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News attended both court hearings. Adam is know for his gavel-to-gavel coverage of some of the highest profile and most important court cases of the Trump era. His reporting and legal analysis has been invaluable to the public's understanding of what's really going on inside these courtrooms day in and day out.
