    Why
    Why is DOJ refusing responsibility to return Maryland man from Salvador prison? Because, if DOJ admits it can return him, some judge will eventually order trump DOJ to return all prisoners because no due process

    Glenn is a master of his craft. I love his work. Very trustworthy content backed up by the gravitas of his long legal career. I can tell he really cares about his profession and the fight to uphold the rule of law.

    Experienced Federal Prosecutor reads & Analysis on court Filings Against Trump Admin.
    Glenn is a decades long Washington D.C. Federal Prosecutor who always reads us the court filings and judgements directly from the court cases against Trump and the Republicans and puts it all into perspective with his expert explanation. Going from legalese to everyday language we can all understand. Highly recommend.
  • Prissc12
    Thank you!
    I appreciate the legal updates. With so many lies out here, it’s great to be able to go to the source to get a real update.
  • HansBren

    Glenn is a beacon in these dark times, calling us all to be Patriots to the rule of law and the Constitution. We must stand together and speak truth to power; and see that Justice prevails. Because Justice Matters!
  • Wild4animals
    He tells it like it is
    I'm thankful that there are a handful of great people who aren't hiding what is happening in our world, we need the truth and Glenn isn't afraid to tell it!
  • Resist✊🏽✊🏾✊🏼✊🏻
    Excellent legal breakdowns!
    If you’re looking for a legal podcast that delivers expert analysis, real-world insights, and engaging discussions, Glenn is a must-listen. Each episode is packed with well-researched content, breaking down complex legal topics in a way that’s both informative and easy to understand. Thank you for what you do! Justice Matters!

  • Laurie Ann LA
    Thank you - Justice does Matter
    Thank you so very much for your show - it is a comfort to hear, with all of the noise and lying out there from those who support and defend the convicted felon, that justice does really matter (to most of us). Injustice is one of the most difficult situations that we humans go thru. True justice will never truly happen until the afterlife, but it does offer some comfort when we see those who are cruel and disobeying the laws, Constitution, and even decency, dismissing and disrespecting any person or creature or our earth. You rock!!!
  • myapled
    Too many ads!
    Love the pod and I understand it’s a volunteer effort but over 4 minutes of ads before it started today!
  • IoB.
    Geeze, Joe can’t even get a break…
    On his way out. Trump has destroyed most “norms” and the press never says a thing. And Biden is getting criticized for his pardons. Do people really think that trump, who pardoned criminals and now the real dangerous traitors of Jan. 6. And still people are banging on about Joe? Give it a rest.
  • Mark Mancini
    Awesome Podcast
    Absolutely love listening to Glenn every day! Apparently, we both are in agreement…especially when it comes to an adjudicated rapist, tax cheat and 34x convicted felon. Keep up the amazing work Glenn! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s podcast!
  • MosquitoSwarm

  • Normandie 55
    Jack Smith's decision
    So Glenn you let us know that the case is dismissed without prejudice so that it "could" be brought to trial after Trump leaves office. I'm not a lawyer but you undoubtedly know that the better way to have handled dropping this case would have been to have postponed it, it would have made it a much simpler way to pick up where the prosecution left off whereas the other choice is much more difficult to get revived. Why would Jack Smith make that choice? And, what makes you think Donald Trump is going to leave office? why on earth would he? He's got all the power that no president has ever held, what are we going to do when that happens? Asking for a concerned citizen

    Tells it Like it Is
    Glenn gives wonderful insight into Trump, MAGA, the GOP and what Americans should expect they will do to retain their own power and follow the whims of their cult leader. THANK YOU!
  • Maia52
    Excellent
    This podcast is amazing. Glenn is a brilliant legal mind and his take is always informative and chock full of knowledge. Very easy to follow to hear his take on the things we should all care about as Americans.

    Thank you Glen in keeping us informed on these legal matters. My family as well as myself have served this country. Sad, that a draft dodger and a thug is able to diminish the sacrifices millions have made to maintain a democracy, and in turn will us the military for only his benefit

    Justice No Longer Matters
    This is the only podcast that I listened to because it gave me hope. Both sides of the media (if there actually were 2 sides) wanted the criminal to win. They all got what they wanted - unfortunately they will take us all down.

    Great podcast! Your discussion on landline phones is spot on. I worked at tge Dem headquarters in York, Maine 2018. This issue was already apparent in 2018. People don’t like to give out the cell # so think of the demographic that still have a landline. Thank you for bringing the issue forward. Tracy
  • Carol & Pups
    One of my favorite podcasts
    Thank you, Glenn Kirschner, for sharing your wealth of knowledge with all of us. I do enjoy your commentary on different judges, rulings. I also enjoy listening to Glenn with Brian Taylor Cohen and they do the legal breakdown. You're a national treasure, Glenn.

    Sentence for DJT
    I have considered long and hard as to a fitting sentence to give DJT. Finally I think I have the right punishment: public service! Raking forests, soup kitchens, picking up trash in parks, reading to children, pushing wheelchairs for Veterans in hospitals. Serving as a House and Senate Page. Six months in each service area. 10 years 8 years suspended.
  • Ccbg77
    Great!
    Enjoy your podcast and your explanations of court cases.

    Glenn’s passion and hope
    While I listen to longer, more in-depth podcasts to get more comprehensive information on the law and politics, I listen to Glenn for the frustration, anger and, yes, hope he expresses. In other words, I appreciate his commitment not just to the rule of law but to common decency, ethics and efforts to right the wrongs committed by “the rot at the top.”

    Kamala
    ya know, from time to time mainstream news orgs can say Kamala is a black woman and southeast asian woman but they can also say biracial. there, isn’t that easier for corporate america. I am sure Vp to Pres Kamala Harris would be happy with either. VOTE BLUE!
  • JanKayDay
    Fani Willis
    This is the first podcast I listen to every morning. Having watched the trial or whatever it’s called, I was incensed by the outright bull that was being told about Fani. The female prosecutor kept saying that Fani started the relationship with her co prosecutor in 2020 and Fani had to repeatedly respond that it was 2022. This went on over and over again. My friends couldn’t even watch this whole debacle because they were so angry. Thanks Glenn for all you do!
  • kinikini9
    Excellent podcast!
    Justice Matters is an excellent podcast. Glenn Kirschner breaks it all down in a way that is easy to understand. The episodes are long enough to get all the info but short enough that you don’t have to dedicate a huge chunk of time. Thanks Glenn!

    Justice Matters More Than Ever
    For those of us who pay attention yet haven’t the expertise to parse the tenets of the law we have taken for granted - while enjoying our liberty - you, our friend, are indispensable in providing a clear eyed explication of the stakes of why justice matters. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Richard O’Brien Portland, Maine

  • toooooo oooooold
    Question
    If the Supreme Court decides that Trump is immune for all crimes, what stops Joe Biden from committing crimes, such as holding onto the office of the presidency, prosecuting his adversaries, etc.? Maybe it is time for Joe and the Democrats to stop being ethical 🤔
  • v8blues
    Glenn Explains It Well
    5/2924 update: It’s not just about inciting today, no doubt this is also Trump preparing to have a reason to assassinate his opponent in the future. He will keep pedaling the lie unless the story is made clear far and wide… smh, mark my word. This has got to be taken seriously. This is a great podcast for keeping up with the trials. Can we ask the Supreme Court judges if assassinating a corrupt judge could be considered a presidential act? We are all dying to hear their answer on that one.

    When Is Justice Canon Enough
    I love your podcast. It’s intelligent and insightful and explains legal concepts in a way I can clearly understand. But tell me, how much longer do we have to put up with Judge Canon. She is making a mockery of our Justice System.
