About this episode
Most federal prosecutors win almost all the time, in part because they are careful about the cases they bring and in part 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, we 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
* A win on appeal for James O’Keefe that causes us to revisit the Food Lion case.
* A defamation loss for The New York Times.
* 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.
