Trump's DOJ "Leadership" is Circling the Drain! - Glenn Kirschner



All the "King's" Men: Trump's lackeys and their disservice to America

Donald Trump's quest to prosecute his perceived enemies, isn't going so good for him. Remember just a couple of days ago when Donald Trump's Department of Justice filed motions to withdraw appeals they had filed in four cases Trump lost. Those cases involved Trump using executive orders to try to punish law firms that displeased him. Trump and his DOJ got crushed in all four cases, but his Department of Justice filed appeals.

Well, a couple of days ago, DOJ threw in the towel, filing a motion to withdraw the appeals because they knew they didn't have a shot at winning.

What happened next? Apparently, Donald Trump got wind of it and likely told Pam Bondi - 'nope, I am not gonna let you quit these cases or withdraw these appeals.' So like a good little flunky, Pam Bondi and her Department of Justice are now trying to take the towel back and revive the appeals that they told the court they wanted to withdraw.

On the heels of that debacle, it looks like the DOJ just bucked Donald Trump again. Remember when Donald Trump wanted his DOJ to prosecute Joe Biden for using an auto pen? Here was the headline at the time: "Trump orders a probe into the Biden administration and its alleged autopen."

The New York Times just reported a new legal development on the Joe Biden/autopen front, "Justice Department, Under Pressure from Trump Fails to Build Autopen Case Against Biden. Prosecutors in the US attorneys office in Washington were unable to build a case, underscoring the department's increasing inability to follow through on the president's desire to indict his rivals."

It sure looks like Donald Trump's DOJ leadership - Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Jeanine Pirro - is crumbling. And it's looking more and more like Donald Trump's entire presidency is imploding.

I just sat down with my friend, former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg to discuss how it's becoming clearer by the day that Trump's DOJ leadership is circling the drain. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/04/2026.
