FBI Dir Wray Testifies About 1/6 Law Enforcement Failures, Republican Senators Ask Foolish Questions Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

It's undeniable that there were significant law enforcement and security failures at the US Capitol on January 6. FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about what the FBI knew and when it knew it. Although these are serious issue, the Republican Senators did their best to inject a good bit of levity (albeit unintentionally), asking about everything BUT the Trump-inspired insurrection at the Capitol. Here's a recap of the serious AND the frivolous questioning of Director Wray. Support the show (http://www.patreon.com/glennkirschner) Learn more about your ad choices.

NY District Attorney Cy Vance Investigating Steve Bannon for State Crimes: Trump's Pardon Can't Help Him Now Feb 26, 2021

Show notes

Steve Bannon may have won a battle by accepting a Trump pardon to help him get out of his federal prosecution. But Bannon may end up losing the war, as he's now being criminally investigated by New York District Attorney Cy Vance. Importantly, not only is a presidential pardon inoperative against state court prosecutions, but the US Supreme Court has said that accepting a pardon is akin to a confession to the crimes for which you are pardoned. As I mention during the second half of this video, if you'd like to sign the Team Justice letter to all 50 state attorneys general urging them to open investigations into avoidable COVID deaths, you can read the letter here: patreon.com/posts/47596972 And here is the link to sign the letter: forms.gle/bfTzqPYisNJVCStt8 I hope you'll join us in our efforts to hold Trump and company accountable for preventable COVID deaths.

Sen. Ron Johnson's Lies in Senate Hearing into Capitol Attack Give Aid & Comfort to Insurrectionists Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

Senator Ron Johnson tells outrageous lies during the Senate hearing into the January 6 attack of the US Capitol. Indeed, CNN reported: "Ron Johnson just dropped a ridiculous conspiracy theory at the Senate Capitol attack hearing." Johnson's lies clearly were designed to give aid and comfort to the insurresctionists. In this video we tackle the following question: do Johnson's lies constitute the federal offense of Accessory After the Fact, in violation of 18 US Code, Section 3?

Let's Talk About Two Facts Supporting Donald Trump's Criminal Responsibility for the Attack on the US Capitol Feb 16, 2021

Show notes

There has been much discussion about the difficulty of proving that Donald Trump acted with corrupt intent when he whipped-up an angry mob and told them to "stop" the vote certification or, as he put it, "stop the steal." I spent 30 years prosecuting cases in courts, military and civilian, proving criminal intent. Given the available evidence, including some recent New York Times reporting about what Trump was saying and doing while the insurrectionists attacked the Capitol and hunted for Mike Pence, it's crystal clear that Donald Trump's intent was corrupt from start to finish. Now, it's time for federal prosecutors to get into the grand jury and begin building a case against Trump for his crimes.

Trump Found Not Guilty at Impeachment Trial, McConnell is Grim Reaper of Justice. What Now? Feb 14, 2021

Show notes

When the impeachment votes were cast, 57 Senators voted that Donald Trump is guilty of inciting an insurrection but 43 Senators voted not guilty, falling short of the two-thirds required to convict Trump and ban him from holding office in the future. The political process has failed to hold Trump accountable. It's now time for the DOJ and the courts, as well as state attorneys general, state prosecution offices and state courts to step up and show a true fidelity to the rule of law by investigating and prosecuting Trump's criminal offenses. Justice is not dead. In fact, lady justice is just getting warmed up . . .
