The Problem with Pardons: The Urge to "Move On" is Strong but Here's Why Prosecutions are Necessary Nov 08, 2020

Show notes

With the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, there is a powerful urge to move on from the past four years of the unabated crime and corruption that defines the Trump Administration. However, from the perspective of a former career federal prosecutor, here is why the county must now tackle the difficult but necessary task of investigating and, where the evidence supports it, prosecuting all crimes by all government officials - elected, appointed or hired.

Trump & Biden Make Their campaign "Closing Arguments." What does the "Circumstantial Evidence" Show? Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

We always hear about how candidates make their "closing arguments" to the American people in the final days of the election. As we say in courtrooms - "closing arguments are not evidence." Let's look at six pieces of circumstantial election evidence and see what it tells us about the likely outcome of what may be the most consequential election in the history of our nation.

Unpacking Mitch McConnell Judges from the Federal Courts Via a Citizens Brigade of Court Watchers Oct 25, 2020

Show notes

Mitch McConnell has packed the federal courts with 220 judges. Some are already handing down opinions ranging from dubious to destructive of diversity, like Judge Justin Walker deciding that a photographer use her religious beliefs to discriminate against a same sex couple to Judge Neomi Rao who has issued "widely mocked" dissents and had her legal opinion/reasoning reversed by the full court of appellate judges. Civic engagement by the citizenry is more important now than ever. A Citizens Brigade of Court Watchers can attend court hearings - all of which are open to the public - and keep an eye out for judicial misconduct, particularly by the Mitch McConnell judges who were rated "not qualified" by the American Bar Association but Mitch McConnell rammed them through the confirmation process anyway. Upon spotting the judicial misconduct, the court watcher can fill out a short, simply "Judicial Misconduct form and forward it to uscourts.gov in an effort to hold McConnell judges accountable. Here's the plan . . .

Trump Tweets "Liberate Michigan!", Plot to Kidnap Gov. Whitmer & RICO Conspiracy Law Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

Trump's behavior before, during and after the now-exposed conspiracy to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer raises substantial questions of Trump's potential responsibility for how people react to his statements, his suggestions, his commands and his directives. Here is a discussion of the law of conspiracy as well as the 1970 law states regarding Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO).

Trump's Healthcare Hypocrisy, Chris Christie's Arrogant Superiority & the Virus' Indifference To It All Oct 04, 2020

Show notes

Ignoring all advice from the Center for Disease Prevention and Control, Trump gathers the rich, the powerful, the influential and the connected together at the White House for a special super-spreader event. The "masters-of-the-universe" crowd (h/t to Thomas Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities), decides to ignore all CDC guidance: no masks, packed shoulder-to-shoulder, lots of hugs and kisses. The political titans apparently believe that their wealth, status and influence serve as a magical shield, protecting them from the coronavirus. Now, one after another, they are testing positive. On another front, Trump has no less than 10 doctors in crisp, white lab coats closely and carefully monitoring his every vital sign as he sends DOJ attorneys into court to fight like hell to take health care away from tens of millions of America. Donald Trump's deadly hypocrisy is the height of callousness.

Here's Why Trump Will Lose ALL Court Battles Contesting the Election. Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

All indicators are pointing to Trump losing the upcoming election in a landslide. The prevailing wisdom is he will then file legal challenges in various courts contesting the election results. Based on legal doctrines such as "forfeiture by wrongdoing" and the "clean hands" doctrine, Trump will get laughed out of court by the judges. Trump's days in office are numbered.

A Conversation with LGBTQ Unit Pioneer, Retired DC Police Officer Brett Parson About Police Reform and Much More Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

My good friend, retired police officer Brett Parson, pioneered the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department's LGBTQ+ Unit. His work received Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government Innovation in Government Award, complete with a $100,000 grant used to replicate the model in other police departments around the country. As you all know, I haven't had any guests on "Justice Matters." So I am proud to have Brett as my first guest to talk about his experiences as a police officer for three decades. Brett is the quintessential police officer, understanding that all victims are not the same, all witnesses are not created equal and all suspects are unique individuals whose rights must be scrupulously honored. Brett always policed from a place of empathy, decency and compassion. In short, Brett listened. He made the citizens of DC proud. One note, as you all know, I am pathetically e-challenged so the sound/production quality is poor. I will work out the bugs as I move forward. Thanks friends.

The Upcoming Durham Report, Election Interference and Other Bill Barr Abuses Sep 13, 2020

Show notes

Bill Barr tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham with going on a witch hunt - investigating the Trump-Russia investigators - in efforts to undermine the origins of the Russia investigation, notwithstanding the fact that the Mueller Report AND the DOJ Inspector General (IG) Horowitz report AND the Senate Intelligence Committee reports all concluded that the Trump-Russia investigation was properly opened. Barr is looking for a different answer - one that helps Trump and hurts Biden. Hence, the Durham investigation. One of Durham's top prosecutors, Nora Dannehy, abruptly resigned due to Barr pressuring Durham to issue an interim report PRIOR TO the election. Barr conduct is dead wrong in two ways: first, prosecutors do not issue reports. In my 30 years as a federal prosecutor, I never once issued a report. Second, nothing should be done by prosecutors within 60 days of a presidential election that could impact public opinion about the candidates. Barr violates all DOJ norms, protocols, traditions and ethical standards by pressuring Durham to issue an interim report so close to the election.
