Description

Judge Tanya Chutkan has ruled that presidents are not kings, presidents are not above the law, and Donald Trump CAN be prosecuted for the crimes he committed while in office. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed motions seeking an expedited review of Judge Chutkan's ruling in two courts simultaneously: the D.C. federal circuit court of appeals AND the US Supreme Court. Glenn says this podcast is a explainer, in layman's terms, of why Jack Smith is going with this legal belt-and-suspenders approach to litigating Trump's presidential immunity issue.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts and mission, you can becoming a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  For our Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at glennkirschner.comFollow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
