Summary
In the event anyone thought Donald Trump's criminal defense attorneys would stop filing absurd court pleadings, here's the new headline from NBC News: "You're a mean one, Mr. Smith: Trump attorneys call special counsel the Grinch in court filing." Glenn says Trump's lawyers apparently think irreverence and insurrection go hand-in-hand. They're wrong. Then, A federal jury in Washington, DC returned a monetary award against Rudy Giuliani for $148 million for his vile, racist, defamatory lies against Georgia state election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman. Glenn says hopefully this will deter harassment of other election workers in the future.
