America’s problem is not Ted Cruz advocating for a phony commission to negate the will of the American voters. It’s not the rot and corruption at the Supreme Court, as exemplified by Thomas & Gorsuch. It’s not even the insurrectionists in Congress or those representatives who …
sought pardons for the
crimes they committed on and around Jan. 6. It’s the chronic unwillingness of the executive branch to flex its co-equal-branch-of-government muscle to check and balance the judicial and legislative branches. As long as we remain Unchecked & Imbalanced,
crime and corruption in Congress and at the high court will flourish. Indeed, accountability for the crime and corruption in Congress and at the Supreme Court is the ONLY fix for what ails America. Because #JusticeMatters

Let’s address the travesty of the DISMISSAL of the case against MBS brought by the family of murdered WAPO columnist Jamal Khashoggi:

1. MBS -the crown prince of Saudi Arabia - “approved” the murder of Washington post columnist Jamal Khashoggi because Khashoggi was criticizing
the Saudi government, so …
2. Khashoggi’s family sued MBS in US federal court. Then …
3. MBS raised something called “head-of-state immunity,” which stands for the proposition that you can’t sue a foreign head of state while he/she is in office. Only problem was …
4. MBS was NOT head of state, so …
5. Six days before a court hearing in the Khashoggi case …
6. MBS’s father, King Salmon, made his son Prime Minister, & hence, head of state. And, perhaps the worst part…

As defendant Thomas Caldwell concludes his testimony in the Oath Keepers trial, a few overarching observations: the 2 defendants who have testified thus far - Caldwell and Elmer Stewart Rhodes - bear many similarities. They come across as pompous, self-important, egocentric,
hateful individuals. Their testimony is, at times laughably unworthy of belief. Example: when Caldwell was advocating violence against his perceived enemies, he disavowed his own written statements by saying he was just quoting language from a video game named “Call of Duty.”
On cross-examination, Caldwell admitted he knew little about the video game, never really played it, but added, ‘well, you can Google Call of Duty and find things about it there.’ Caldwell was confronted w/ his written communications about “transporting heavy weapons”

There are some curious tactical decisions being made by some of the defense attorneys in the Oath Keepers case. For example, defendant Caldwell’s attorney called a witness, Joseph Godbold, who is Caldwell’s friend and occasional employee on home improvement projects.
His testimony was offered to portray Caldwell as suffering from physical and health challenges, being unable to climb ladders, needing to walk with a cane at times, etc. The point seemed to be defendant Caldwell wasn’t fit enough to storm the Capitol. On cross-examination,
we learned that the witness had been banned from Facebook. Before being banned he posted things like, “f**k Biden and cameltoe, they will never be my president,” “it will take martial law and a miracle for Trump to remain president,” & things about Mike Pence I won’t repeat here.

Cooperating witness/former Oath Keeper Graydon Young is now testifying. He said he “unfortunately” spent 2-6 hours a day on right-wing social media sites and came to believe the election was stolen. So he joined the Oath keepers organization because “marches and protests
weren’t enough.” They needed to do something more “”forceful.” He said as part of the Oath Keepers, he attended an earlier protest in DC to provide security for Roger Stone (though he said he had no training or experience in security, there was no security plan & he had no idea
what he was doing). But he perceptively related the following: “I met Roger Stone. I wasn’t really impressed. He doesn’t have any political power, but he thinks he does.” Young testified that he sought to have the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys work together for some

As we continue to wait for long-overdue justice to come for Trump, I’m reminded of a phrase I heard a lot when I was prosecuting murder cases in DC: “the streets know.” When we were investigating homicides proactively in the grand jury (meaning, no arrest had yet been made),
I would regularly meet with the victim’s family members to update them on the status of the investigation. Understandably, they often would ask me what’s taking so long - why has there been no no arrest/indictment. When I’d talk about the need for a thorough investigation to …
identify the killer, the family often would say, “but Mr. Kirschner, the streets know.” And they were right. The “streets” often know who the criminal is long before law enforcement knows. Of course, police & prosecutors need to build cases on admissible evidence as opposed to

A former Oath Keeper, Terry Cummings, is testifying. He’s a retired member of the Air National Guard. He went to DC on Jan 6. He brought his AR-15 assault rifle and left it in the Virginia hotel, together with “more weapons/firearms than I had ever seen in one place since …
being in the military.” Cummings testified that he brought his firearm as a “show of force” and so the Oath Keepers would “have a presence.” In a bit of testimony I found . . . curious, Cummings said his phone died so, on the early morning of 1/6 he went to a Walmart and bought…
a prepaid phone with cash because he wanted to “stay in touch with his wife.”🙄🤨
He testified that he and other Oath Keepers were in the VIP section at the Trump rally and were proving a security detail for an unidentified “Hispanic woman.” He then heard the …
