1200+ Former Federal Prosecutors OBJECT to Todd Blanche Being Attorney General! Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

More than 1,200 former Department of Justice employees, organized by the alumni group Justice Connection, urged the Senate Judiciary Committee to reject Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General. They cited his degradation of the apolitical career workforce and promotion of a "culture of fear" ahead of his July 15–16 confirmation hearings.

Signatories of the letter span 14 presidential administrations, both Democratic and Republican, and include dozens of former U.S. attorneys, component heads, and other senior leaders. They represent staff from 77 U.S. Attorney's Offices across the country, including many who worked in Blanche's former office in the Southern District of New York.

The former officials accuse Blanche—who previously served as Deputy Attorney General and represented Donald Trump in three of his criminal cases—of exhibiting fealty to the President rather than the Constitution. They highlighted concerns over an exodus of roughly 16,000 DOJ employees and accused leadership of political retaliation.

DOJ's ABSURD Court Filing in Epstein Files Case! Jul 06, 2026

Show notes

Former TV Host on MSNBC and Independent journalist Katie Phang won a court order directing acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Department of Justice to either comply with the Epstein Files transparency Act or "show cause" as to why they are not doing so.

SO, the DOJ filed a reply to the judge's order. And of course - it's completely ridiculous.

E. Jean Carroll's Supreme Court VICTORY Over Trump! Jul 03, 2026

Show notes

E. Jean Carroll has AGAIN kicked Donald Trump's butt in court. And this time, it was in the United States Supreme Court.

Remember a first jury found Donald Trump liable and awarded E. Jean Carroll $5 million. Then, a second jury found Donald Trump liable once again for defamation and awarded E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million.

And now - the Supreme Court told Trump, "Nope - we're not going to review or undo that first $5 million jury award."

So, what did Trump do? He defamed Ms. Carroll a third time! Because of course he did!

No one can ever accuse Trump of learning from his mistakes.

And that power, at the moment, is in the hands of a corrupt president. But, even in those bad rulings, there's actually a silver lining.

DOJ Refuses to Provide Evidence that Judge Requires! Jun 25, 2026

Show notes

Nobody can accuse Todd Blanche and Donald Trump's other flunky DOJ attorneys of learning from their mistakes.

They've now filed something with the court, telling the judge that the evidence she ordered them to provide is "not necessary."

Glenn says this is some poor and obstinate lawyering from Blanche and his flunky underlings.
