Summary
In today's longform weekend podcast - Glenn gives us his usual legal recap of the week. First story: Dueling briefs. Attorneys for Donald Trump have filed a motion in court to try to postpone his Florida classified documents trial. Following this, Special Counsel Jack Smith replied with his own brief telling Judge Cannon - Trump's filing had no legal basis to postpone the trial indefinitely. Second story: House Blames FBI. During a tense hearing - the House judiciary committee led by congressman Jim Jordan accused FBI Director Chris Wray of being partisan. Are they discrediting the FBI to help Trump in the January 6th investigation? Or are they hoping to interfere with the January 6th probe because they are afraid they will be charged? Then, Fulton County DA Fani Willis has impaneled 2 grand juries in the Georgia election tampering probe. Glenn explains what a grand jury is and what the 5th Amendment says about them. He gives us a master class on how they are selected and how they decide on cases.

| 0:00.0 | It's time for Justice Matters, with former Federal Prosecutor and MSNBC analyst, |
| 0:05.0 | Planned Cursor. |
| 0:15.4 | In today's long weekend podcast, Glenn does his usual Trump legal recap of the week |
| 0:20.5 | and talks about grand juries and how they work. |
| 0:23.7 | Welcome to Justice Matters. We have a full plate today, friends, |
| 0:29.1 | and yes, much of it involves the criminal investigations and prosecutions of Donald Trump, |
| 0:37.6 | which seem to be accelerating. They seem to be multiplying. So yes, we are going to spend some time |
| 0:45.3 | today talking about the Trump trials. This is where we cue the Trump trials theme music. |
| 0:59.2 | And in our deep dive segment today, we're going to take on all things grand jury. Why? Well, |
| 1:20.3 | because not one, but two grand juries were just sworn in in Fulton County, Georgia, |
| 1:28.1 | in connection with District Attorney Fawni Willis's criminal investigation of Trump and company. |
| 1:35.6 | And those grand juries are hard at work as we speak, considering criminal charges for Donald |
| 1:44.7 | Trump and his co-conspirators. And because there's been so much reporting this past week about |
| 1:52.9 | those grand juries, not to mention other grand juries like the one in Washington, DC, |
| 1:59.2 | which seems to be on the cusp of indicting Donald Trump for the insurrection. |
| 2:06.3 | We're going to do a deep dive into the nuts and bolts of grand juries. |
| 2:11.9 | You know, for example, are they really all that grand? |
| 2:16.1 | And will a grand jury really indict a ham sandwich? |
| 2:20.8 | You know, my answer to that often posed question is, |
| 2:25.1 | you're damn right, a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich if that ham sandwich committed a crime. |
| 2:32.4 | So after we finish the legal recap, we are going to turn to all things grand jury. |
