Episode Details

This week, we are joined by Judge J. Michael Luttig to go over the brief helped  write to the District Court on DC in support of DoJ’s proposed trial date and against Trump’s claims of immunity. Judge Luttig reminds us that it is the Constitution, not politics, that disqualifies Trump from holding federal office, again.
Then, we discuss DoJ’s motion to limit specific arguments and evidence that Trump may try to bring up at trial.
Plus, we have some great listener questions.

Ari Fleischer’s irresponsible take on attempts to keep Trump off of ballots was still up at the time of publishing this episode.

“Make no mistake: Attempts to throw Trump off the ballot are white-collar insurrections, carried out by Democrats in powerful positions, who falsely use the "law" as a weapon. 

They fear a vote of the people, so they resort to this. 

This is an insurrection.”
