A Washington DC jury just convicted Capitol attacker Dustin Thompson on all six counts for storming the US Capitol on January 6 to stop the certification of Joe Biden's election win. Thompson testified that he was following then-President Donald Trump's express orders. The problem for Thompson is that "following presidential orders" is not a legal defense to his crimes. But it IS evidence that can be introduced against Donald Trump in the future in the event he is indicted for inciting the insurrection. This video covers the three takeaways from the jury's guilty verdicts in the Dustin Thompson case.

We've had some important developments on the justice front in recent days, including: Federal Judge David Carter finds Trump "likely committed crimes to stay in power" The Department of Justice widens its criminal probe to include funders and organizers of the pre-insurrection rally, as well as the fake electors For past two months, DOJ as been issuing grand jury subpoenas, involving "officials in former President Trump's orbit" Now comes new reporting from the New York Times that President Biden, as recently as late last year, was telling those close to him that Trump is "a danger to democracy" and "should be prosecuted." The reporting also indicates that President Biden wants Attorney General Merrick Garland to act more like a prosecutor and "less like a ponderous judge." Given that the DOJ is supposed to be independent from the White House on matters of who to prosecute, when to prosecute and if to prosecute, will this latest revelation impact AG Garland's approach to the course of the investigation into Trump and company?

There is a crisis at the Supreme Court as a result of the deeply unethical conduct of Justice Clarence Thomas. There are many suggestions and proposals emerging about what should be done to deal with the current crisis, as well as how to deter future misconduct by Supreme Court Justices. Those proposals include future recusal of Thomas from all January 6 and 2020 election related cases. Others involve the court adopting a code of conduct and mechanisms to enforce violations thereof. This video argues in favor of public hearings into what Justice Thomas did, why he did it, and whether his conduct warrants impeachment.

On thing is beyond reasonable dispute: Donald Trump does not like to admits he's ever wrong. Yet he just issued a statement withdrawing his endorsement of Mo Brooks for the US Senate. In other words, Trump issued a statement saying, in substance, Donald Trump was dead wrong to endorse Brooks. Trump claims that his endorsement flip-flop is because Brooks said people should move on from the 2020 election. But that explanation rigns hollow. This podcast discusses what Trump's real motivation might be for this endorsement flop-flop.

Developments in two legal stories: First, Donald Trump's xenophobic henchman Stephen Miller just filed a lawsuit to try to stop the House select Committee from subpoenaing his cell phone records. In the suit, Miller reveals that he's still on his parents' cell phone plan. Miller's legal claims in the suit are frivolous, and his lawsuit is a transparent attempt to to delay matters. In Michigan, a trial is underway against the four men who plotted to kidnap Governor Whitmer. The prosecution's opening statement made clear the the case against the defendants is strong. The attorney for the ringleader, defendant Adam Fox, told the jury in his opening statement that his client is a "hapless, pot-smoking misfit." Only the best people . . .
