During MSNBC's 2 pm hour today, hosted by Chris Jansing, MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner suggested that Donald Trump should be jailed pending his federal trial because of the "danger" and "threat" to the community he poses. Kirschner, a former assistant US attorney, suggested that Trump poses a greater threat than thousands of other (often violent) defendants who are jailed pending trial, given: "not only what we saw him do on January 6th, but his incessant posts and comments, that in a very real sense jeopardize, or put in harm's way, judges, prosecutors, their families, witnesses, grand jurors, trial jurors."...

MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows is likely already cooperating with the criminal investigations into the retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and the events surrounding January 6, 2021. Kirschner said, “The more we absorb this mega report of 850 pages from the J6 committee, the more it becomes clear Mark Meadows has emerged as the single most important potential cooperating for federal prosecutors. There’s like a leverage palooza, given what we have learned about Mark Meadows’ suspected crimes. We already knew he was referred for prosecution...

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner believes that Donald Trump will eventually be convicted—revealing in a Sunday morning interview which ongoing investigation he predicts will result in such unprecedented legal consequences for a former president.Trump faces a slew of legal battles and investigations, with two of them now being overseen by a special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland on November 18. One of those Justice Department probes is looking into whether the former president is criminally liable for the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and his efforts to unconstitutionally overturn President Joe Biden's 2020 election win.The Justice...

MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner said Monday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the Department of Justice has “probable cause” to arrest former President Donald Trump. Kirschner said, “Donald Trump absolutely has information and evidence about how those documents that he stole and unlawfully concealed at Mar-a-Lago might have compromised national security. The reason I state that definitively because he knows, who he let take the snapshot of them, who he may have given or sold, and the information that was in those 43 empty classified documents folders. He has this information in his head.”

Protests have erupted in Buenos Aires over the past 90 days and continue to build inside the capital as residents battle with their center-left government over sizeable amendments to social programs. Cuts to subsidies in the energy sector based on household income already began in June. Other subsidies, including the country’s notorious welfare program, are also on the chopping block, triggering thousands of angry residents to take to the streets. State-sponsored aid for civilians has soared in the past 20 years, leaving 22 million Argentinians dependent on some form of government assistance. However, for the 1.2 million members dependent on...

The investigation into the events at the Capitol on Jan 6 is a hot topic, as those who want to neutralize former President Donald Trump are hoping to blame him for any and all they can. It has come to light that the DOJ and the House investigating committee have not been working together. In fact, it seems they are at odds. In May The Hill reported that the DOJ had asked the House committee to share its materials, sending a letter noting that some of the work, “may contain information relevant to a criminal investigation we are conducting.” The...

Attorney and former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said that former President Donald Trump is potentially facing a "five-year felony" over allegations that he took classified national security documents from the White House when he left office last year. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) confirmed in a Friday letter to the House Oversight Committee that some 15 boxes Trump returned last month after being requested to do so, contained classified national security documents. "NARA has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes," archivist David Ferriero wrote. Previously, The New York Times reported that classified...

“The final piece asks companies to ‘not support, donate to or endorse politicians, political campaigns or political action committees that promoted false conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 presidential elections (or otherwise acted in ways contrary to a representative democracy)’.” A former federal prosecutor, Glenn Kirschner, has launched a campaign to force “every business in America” to take a pledge that states, in part, that “The 2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results.” Any American business refusing to take this pledge, regardless of their own personal beliefs, will presumably be subjected to the cancel mob. The...

I was wrong. For years, I've argued that our government should pay more attention to South America. Now Hillary Clinton has -- and, boy, is it ugly. With tragic back-to-back earthquakes dominating the headlines from south of the border, a desperate ploy by the hard-left Argentine government -- backed by Venezuela's Hugo Chavez -- threatens to shake the continent's political landscape. And Secretary of State Clinton, during her whirlwind tour down south, managed to outrage our British allies and assist despised President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in her family's assault on Argentine democracy. Clinton's diplomatic malfeasance in Buenos Aires wasn't...

DEBATE THREADThis INFORMAL debate will focus on Part 1 and 2 of Alex Williams' paper "Life's irreducible structure." Williams' paper will serve as the affirmative, namely: (A) All aspects of life (not just bacterial flagellums and blood clotting cascades) lie beyond the reach of naturalistic explanations, and (B) only intelligent design meets the criterion of an acceptable historical inference according to the Law of Cause and Effect. Part 1 of Alex Williams' paper follows. A link to Part 2 can be found in reply #1. It is strongly suggested that both papers be read before participating in the discussion/debate. One...
