Inhumane ICE Detention Conditions Exposed, Judge Orders Them to STOP! Aug 19, 2025

Show notes

Immigrants being detained by ICE at a facility in Manhattan had been complaining for weeks about unsanitary and inhumane conditions. A spokeswoman for Trump's Department of Homeland Security said those complaints were lies. But once a video of the conditions inside that facility was published by The New York Times, it turns out the confinement conditions were, indeed, inhumane, with detainees sleeping on dirty concrete floors for days or weeks without a mattress or even a thin mat of any kind.

A federal judge in New York has issued an order directing ICE to, in substance, stop treating detainees inhumanely.

Glenn reviews this legal development and discusses Judge Kaplan's new court order.

Trump Seizes Control of D.C. Police Department: A Convicted Felon in Charge of the Cops Aug 18, 2025

Show notes

Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of National Guard soldiers to the streets of the District of Columbia, seized control of the DC Metropolitan Police Department, and said he was taking 120 FBI agents out of their current assignments and making them patrol the streets of DC. As the Attorney General for the District of Columbia, Brian Schwalb said, as reported by The Hill, "DC attorney general: Trump's actions are 'unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful.'"

Glenn reviews the law governing Trump's actions, and discusses why his conduct is not only unlawful but also offensive, disrespectful, dangerous, and dictatorial.

Judge Says DOJ/Pam Bondi Made "Demonstrably False" Arguments in Epstein/Maxwell Case Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

A New York federal court judge has rejected the motion filed by DOJ/Pam Bondi/Todd Blanche to release the grand jury transcripts in the Ghislaine Maxwell case.

According the ABC News, Judge Paul Engelmayer issued a lengthy opinion, criticizing the "Department of Justice for using 'demonstrably false' reasoning to justify the release of grand jury testimony." The judge also said releasing the transcripts would not reveal any new information of any consequence, and that it looked like an effort by the DOJ to give the illusion of transparency and full disclosure, adding that "There is no there, there."

New Judge Assigned to Lawsuit is Trump's Worst Nightmare! Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

It wasn't long ago that DC Federal District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan was presiding over Donald Trump's criminal case for his attempt to steal the 2020 presidential election form the American voters. Judge Chutkan is a fair, impartial, independent, and no-nonsense judge who refused to put up with the dilatory tactics and other shenanigans of Trump and his lawyers in that case.

Judge Chutkan is now once again involved in a high-stakes court proceeding involving and impacting Donald Trump. A pro-democracy nonprofit organization called Democracy Forward Foundation has filed a lawsuit seeking the release of the Epstein files and related communications, including the Epstein client list, all communications between Trump and Epstein, communications between Trump administration officials on the Epstein matter, and other materials.

This is a decidedly bad development for Donald Trump but a good development for the prospect of transparency and accountability.

Donald Trump: A Paper Tiger Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

The Trump/Epstein/Maxwell scandal is not going away. In recent days, Donald Trump and Pam Bondi have tried to distract the public by announcing investigations of former President Barack Obama, Senator Adam Schiff, and New York Attorney General Leticia James. But no matter how many Trumped-up investigations they announce, they will not distract the public's attention from the Trump/Epstein/Maxwell scandal.

In fact, every day the clamor for the release of the Epstein files grows stronger, and even includes many congressional Republicans.

Could this be the scandal that brings the Trump presidency to its knees?

The Latest on the Trump/Epstein/Maxwell Scandal Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's convicted co-conspirator in child sex trafficking crimes, was interviewed by Trump's former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche. Maxwell is serving 20 years in prison and has every incentive to curry favor with Blanche and Trump in hopes of a presidential pardon.

When interviewing someone in Maxwell's situation, there is one thing any responsible, honest, ethical prosecutor would do BEFORE asking her about the possible crimes of others. And it's something Todd Blanche very likely did not do. Glenn discusses how prosecutors should interview convicted inmates who are looking for a benefit from the government and the implications of a prosecutor who decides to forget the most important 1st step in such an interview.

DOJ to Release Transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell Interview with Todd Blanche Aug 11, 2025

Show notes

The Donald Trump/Pam Bondi reality show continues with reporting that the DOJ will release a transcript of an interview Trump's former criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, conducted with convicted child sex trafficker and indicated perjurer Ghislaine Maxwell.

In the interview, Maxwell reportedly said Trump did nothing wrong. Of course, we already suspected that was the case for at lease two reasons. First, after the interview, the DOJ rewarded Maxwell with a move to a cushy women's prison camp even though convicted sex offenders are PROHIBITED from serving their sentence at the facility to which Maxwell was transferred. Second, was there ever an expectation that Maxwell would implicate or incriminate the only person on the planet who could pardon her for her crimes?

Glenn discusses the three main takeaways about the DOJ potentially releasing a transcript of Maxwell's recent interview.

Trump and Bondi Try to Distract from the Epstein Scandal with a Bogus Investigation of Barack Obama Aug 08, 2025

Show notes

Another day, another attempted distraction from the Epstein/Maxwell scandal. As Trump's presidency continues to be dragged down by the Epstein debacle and the favors he's doing for Epstein's convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, Attorney General Pam Bondi announces a bogus investigation into Barack Obama and his administration for investigating the connections between Trump and Russia in advance of the 2016 election.

The harder Trump tries to distract from and coverup the Epstein files, the more he seems to alienate his base. Moreover, new reporting shows that congressional Republicans are ratcheting up their involvement in the Epstein matter by subpoenaing former Democratic AND Republican officials to testify about the Epstein investigation. Suffice it to say, this story seems to have real legs.

Looks Like Trump, Bondi, and Blanche are ALREADY Bestowing Benefits on Ghislaine Maxwell Aug 06, 2025

Show notes

It looks like Trump and company are already currying favor with Jeffrey Epstein's convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. News broke that Maxwell was transferred from FCI (Federal Correctional Institution) Tallahassee - a prison that houses men and women - to a low-security women's "federal prison camp" in Texas.

As a career federal prosecutor, there were times when Glenn arranged for the transfer of inmates from one confinement facility to another. In this podcast he discusses the two most common reasons for an inmate transfer, and talks about the possible reasons why Trump's Department of Justice may have chosen to transfer Maxwell.
