Dear listeners,
Most federal prosecutors win almost all the time. That’s partly because they’re careful about what cases they bring, and partly because they’re good at their jobs. Lately, Jeanine Pirro’s US Attorney’s office in Washington D.C. has only been winning about half the time. This week, Ken and I discuss what’s likely driving the substantial number of acquittals and mistrials. We also look at Ghislaine Maxwell’s unsuccessful pro se appeal, and about whether it matters that Michael Cohen recanted (sort of) his testimony that helped convict Donald Trump in the Manhattan DA’s falsification of business records case.
That’s for all listeners this week. Paying subscribers also hear about:
A partial victory for Alex Jones on appeal of the defamation judgment against him in Texas (though Jones remains insolvent nonetheless).
A win on appeal for James O’Keefe that causes us to revisit the Food Lion case.
A terse Supreme Court order on the White House ballroom, with more likely to come, and
Trump’s latest Kennedy Center litigation gambit: Threatening to tear down the building.

We hope you enjoy the episode,
