Summary
Last week, Colorado Judge Sarah Wallace entered a finding that Donald Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021. However, Judge Wallace went on to rule that the 14th Amendment does not disqualify a president who engaged in an insurrection from again serving as president of the United States. Both parties have now filed appeals in the case. Trump has appealed the judge's finding that he engaged in an insurrection, and Crew - the organization that brought the suit on behalf of Colorado voters - appealed her ruling that Trump is not disqualified by the 14th Amendment. Glenn says one of the important factors in assessing the likely result on appeal involves the different standards of review that are applied to a trial court's factual determinations versus its legal determinations. Then, if you thought the New York fraud trial couldn't get any worse for Donald Trump - it just did. In a colossal tactical blunder, Trump's own lawyer put a witness on the stand that, as the Business Insider reported, "ties (Trump) to the conspiracy." Trump's lawyers called as a witness longtime comptroller for the Trump Organization Jeffrey McConney. After Trump had previously testified that he knew little to nothing about the annual net-worth statements of his own business, McConney testified that the statements were actually provided to Trump for his final review. Indeed, the attorney for the New York Attorney General's office cross-examined McConney with his own hand-written note on the financial documents that plainly stated, " DJT to get final review." Glenn says - in other words, Trump's own lawyers called a witness that blew up their client's defense. Only the best people . . .

| 0:00.0 | It's time for Justice Matters with former federal prosecutor and MS NBC analyst Glenn Kirchner. There are some new developments in Trump's 14th Amendment case in Colorado. Here's |
| 0:20.0 | Glenn. So friends, remember how just last week a Colorado judge, Judge Sarah Wallace, |
| 0:27.0 | ruled in a case that had been brought to see whether Donald Trump should be disqualified under the 14th Amendment from serving as president again. |
| 0:38.0 | And you may recall that in that case Judge Wallace made two really important findings or rulings. |
| 0:47.0 | One, she found that based on the evidence, based on the testimony from the witnesses, |
| 0:53.0 | Donald Trump absolutely engaged in an insurrection on January 6th, 2021. |
| 1:01.0 | But she also ruled that, too, that doesn't necessarily disqualify him from holding |
| 1:09.2 | office in the future. |
| 1:11.7 | It doesn't disqualify him from being president again. It doesn't disqualify him |
| 1:18.5 | from heading up the very democracy he tried to end. |
| 1:25.0 | Doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense, does it, friends? |
| 1:29.0 | Well, now predictably, both parties, both litigants in that suit have appealed Judge Wallace's |
| 1:36.8 | rulings. Here is the new reporting this from the Associated Press. |
| 1:43.0 | Headline, both sides appeal ruling that Trump can stay on Colorado ballot |
| 1:49.0 | despite insurrection finding. |
| 1:53.0 | And that article begins, |
| 1:54.7 | both a liberal group that sought to disqualify |
| 1:57.5 | Donald Trump and the former president himself |
| 2:00.9 | on Monday night appeal to Colorado judges ruling that Trump engaged in |
| 2:06.5 | insurrection on January 6th 2021 but can stay on the state's ballot. The appeals were filed with the Colorado |
| 2:16.4 | Supreme Court. The ruling by District Court Judge Sarah Wallace on Friday which |
