Jack Smith Transfers Mar-a-Lago Classified Documents Case to Federal Prosecutors in Florida Jan 03, 2025

Show notes

Recall that Special Counsel Jack Smith was required by Department of Justice policy to dismiss the classified documents case against Donald Trump because DOJ has a horrific policy that a criminal president cannot be prosecuted while in office. However, the Mara-a-Lago documents case continues against Trump's two co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira. The case presently is being appealed as a result of Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon dismissing the case contrary to existing precedent. Given that Jack Smith is stepping down as Special Counsel, he just transferred the classified documents case to federal prosecutors at the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida. Glenn discusses what we can expect moving forward.

Former Head of FBI & CIA Tells Senators Trump Nominees Kash Patel & Tulsi Gabbard are Unqualified. Jan 01, 2025

Show notes

As Politico reported: "Former FBI and CIA Head Prods Senate to Reject Patel, Gabbard."

William Webster is the only person ever to serve as both head of the FBI and head of the CIA. But even beyond that, Mr. Webster has a deep well of experience with the FBI in particular, given his other positions as United States Attorney, federal trial court judge and federal court of appeals judge. Mr. Webster has sent a letter the United States Senate urging them to refuse to confirm Patel and Gabbard, saying, "I urge you to weigh the critical importance of nonpartisan leadership and experience . . .The safety of the American people - and your own families - depends on it."

3 Questions About The Gaetz Ethics Report: Beyond the "Substantial Evidence" of Misconduct Findings Dec 31, 2024

Show notes

We know that the House Ethics Committee found "substantial evidence" that Matt Gaetz engaged in misconduct in multiple ways. But there are other questions to be answered:

1. Did Gaetz get a full opportunity to tell the Ethics Committee his side of the story?

2. Why did the committee stop short of sanctioning Gaetz?

3. What of the Department of Justice investigation of Gaetz which resulted in no charges being filed?

Lara Trump Removes Her Name From Contention To Take Marco Rubio's Florida Senate Seat Dec 30, 2024

Show notes

What's the main takeaway from the latest Trump family development? The Washington Post reports: "Lara Trump drops out of contention for U.S. Senate seat for Florida." Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this reporting is this: "President-elect Donald Trump had indicated to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis that he wanted his daughter-in-law to be appointed." This raises the question: Did DeSantis refuse to abide by Trump's wishes regarding appointing his daughter-in-law to the position? And if so, what does this tell us about Trump's grip on the Republican Party?

Senate Republicans have already rejected Donald Trump's demands multiple times. Now, House Republicans are following suit, rejecting Trump's demands to both refuse to fund (thereby shutting down) the federal government and lift the debt ceiling. As Politico reported: " Trump's wake-up call: Republicans are willing to defy him". Additionally, Rep. Eric Swalwell just authored a piece titled, " I've faced Trump's crusade to punish his enemies. Congress can still stop him." Glenn reviews both the new reporting regarding House Republicans telling Trump, "HELL, NO!", and the important, inspiring new piece written by Congressman Eric. Swalwell.

3. If the report contains evidence of criminal wrongdoing, why did the Department of Justice decline to charge Matt Gaetz
