Summary
This time Glenn analyzes Joe Tacopina - Donald Trump's lawyer in the E. Jean Carroll rape trial. He asked for a mistrial but was denied by Judge Lewis Kaplan. He complained the judge was being unfair by limiting the scope of questions he could ask. Then Glenn talks about the fate of 5 Proud Boys who are charged with various crimes in connection with the January 6th riots. They jurors who are still deliberating sent a note to the judge asking about the seditious conspiracy charge. Glenn explains even if the jury is hung - they will get another trial and another chance to flip on other insurrectionists.
