Trump’s Justice Department suffers the ULTIMATE HUMILIATION

We have some explosive news here as far. as the DOJ is concerned in court. I'm. joined now by All Rise News' Adam. Klasfeld. Adam, can you give an update. on what just happened to Trump's DOJ? >> They lost two back-to-back rulings in. Harmeet Dhillon's nationwide effort to. hoover up voter roll data across the. country. You have Harmeet Dhillon trying. to seize voter voter roll records in 29. different states and Washington D.C. She. is now over eight. Every judge that has.

heard one of these cases has found that. she had absolutely no right under the. Civil Rights Act, which is the law that. she's citing to get these records, Brian, uh to hoover up all of this data. And when people just to give people an. image uh here, when we say voter roll. data, in some states, that includes. voter history. And there is no. distinction made. It is essentially. Harmeet Dhillon, who is one of Trump's.

election denier lawyers from 2020, saying that they want as much of this. sensitive information as they can get, and she keeps losing. Twice today. >> Adam, would you agree if I were to say. that each loss adds to the likelihood of. a subsequent loss? Because now you have. uh even if it's not legal or binding. precedent, atmospheric precedent that. shows these judges, okay, it didn't work. in this case or this case or this case. or this case or this case. And so, it's.

very likely that the same principles are. going to apply for each subsequent case. >> Absolutely. I agree with that, Brian. As. a matter of fact, you often see that. after one of these losses stacks up, that ruling is added to the docket of. one of these subsequent cases. And it's. judges across the political spectrum. One of the two losses today was by a. Trump appointee in Maine, U.S. District. Judge Lance Walker. And he isn't the. only Trump appointee who rejected it. because on top of persuasive.

precedent that adds up to this pile. here, there's just the plain fact that. they're citing a law for a voter data. grab that doesn't say that they're. entitled to it. And every single court. that has looked at that has told them. that. As a matter of fact, after these. decisions came down, I reached out to. the Trump Justice Department saying "Uh. will you give up the ghost and stop. wasting taxpayer money on these now that.

you have an overwhelming rebuke by eight. different courts?" They obviously have. not gotten back to that press inquiry. I. do not expect them to get back to that. press inquiry, but if they do, you'll be. the first to know about it. >> And what is the Trump administration. seeking to do with these voter rolls? Why are they so hell-bent on getting. them recognizing that this is a White. House that engages in all types of. nefarious behavior? >> Well, we do have the fact that Harmeet. Dhillon was, as I said a little bit.

earlier, uh one of Trump's election. denialist lawyers who pushed bogus fraud. claims in 2020. And there's an ongoing. effort from the Trump Justice Department. all the way up to Todd Blanche to. rewrite the history of the 2020 election. and suggest that there's fraud there. Uh. their intentions could be the building. of a national voter database, something. that they had denied in the past. And. though that claim has been undermined. that they're not doing that. As a matter.

of fact, uh one of the people in charge. of this is a the Voting Section Chief of. the Trump DOJ, Eric Neff. And he was a. former lawyer uh for the an ADA in uh. Los Angeles County who had to drop a. case against a voting machine company. because those claims were bogus. You. have the foxes guarding the hen house. here, and one can only imagine that.

they're trying to use this voter. information for misinformation and. challenges. to the for of voters. >> Are there any states, Adam, where. litigation is ongoing where it looks. like the DOJ is actually poised to. succeed in in uh in this case? >> I wouldn't bet on it. There are 20. states that remain pending and the. District of Columbia. Uh but they are.

coming in with a losing legal. proposition. Perhaps one of the judges. will be foolish enough to go against the. weight of the law and the evidence and. the outstanding precedent, and perhaps. that judge will be overturned. So, uh as. the expression goes, don't count one's. chickens yet. But, right now, it's zero. for eight. It's coming from a bipartisan. rebuke from judges across the country. Uh we'll see whether the Trump DOJ.

continues with the definition of. insanity, trying the same failing tactic. and hoping for a different result. >> Adam, are these cases taking place at. the state level or the federal level? And regardless, um is there any. likelihood that that any of these cases. could end up in front of the US Supreme. Court? >> Well, I haven't heard of a single appeal. and in an intermediate court. This is on. the federal level. These are all federal. district judges that have delivered. these rulings. Before anything would get.

to the Supreme Court, they would have to. hit an appeals court. Uh and perhaps the. Trump DOJ sees the writing on the wall. Uh that may be giving them too much. credit, but we'll see whether they take. it there. But, this has been, as I've. said, an overwhelming rebuke. >> So, there has been no appeals up to the. circuit court level. Is that because if. they did decide to appeal it to a. circuit court, A, you would then have. binding precedent, and B, that binding.

precedent would apply to all of the. states contained within each uh federal. court circuit? >> That is exactly correct. I mean, if they. get an adverse ruling from a federal. appeals court, they're they might be. hoping for a different outcome within. the same circuit uh in a different. district court in the same state. Again, I don't know what the DOJ's thinking is. here uh and why they haven't taken that. step. Uh and perhaps, you know, there is.

this massive litigation, perhaps. something has hit a docket somewhere uh. on so far as an appeal goes, but I. haven't seen it, and certainly we're not. close to a ruling on the appellate. level. So, the Supreme Court would be a. long way away. >> You know, the DOJ is known for its its. its nearly perfect record in in the. cases that they take up. Is it. unorthodox, or how unorthodox is it um.

based on your years of reporting on the. courts, that the DOJ would go. I mean, even even over one, much less. over eight um in in the in the cases. that it takes up? >> Right. I mean, I have been covering the. courts nearly two decades. I haven't. seen the federal government lose go over. eight on an issue that they have decided. to take all the way across the country, but then again, I haven't seen many. things since Trump 2.0. I haven't seen.

grand juries reject half a dozen cases. or more in a simple in a single. jurisdiction, and perhaps dozens of no. true bills in jurisdictions across the. country. Just today, another one of. Trump's retaliatory prosecutions. collapsed in Chicago where. Cat Abugazelah, a Democratic candidate. for Congress who did not succeed in her. primary, she was being prosecuted over. an ice protest. Those charges were.

dismissed. I This is the losingest. Justice Department that I've ever. covered in my career and small wonder. They're losing experienced attorneys who. won't go. forward with these ridiculous. retaliatory prosecutions. They had. They're resorting to try to. have to either pay certain bonuses to. keep the one. ones who are there from defecting. They're resorting to going on social.

media saying we're looking for people. who support Trump's agenda. Just saying. that outwardly. And offering big signing. bonuses. This is So we're in a whole. different territory. >> Let's finish off with this. We heard. recently from the acting attorney. general Todd Blanche where he suggested. that there was indeed fraud in the 2020. election. >> Now, the president says all the time. that the election was rigged. What have. you done about that? Do you have any. evidence that the election was rigged?

What can you tell us? >> Well, there's a ton of evidence that the. election was rigged. That's not. something the DOJ needs to needs to tell. you about. There There's been evidence. about that for many many years. What I. can tell you is that we have multiple. investigations going on in in Arizona, in in in Georgia, in Fulton County, Georgia. And we're That's exactly what. we're looking at. By the way, this is very difficult. because they're very good. They're very. good at hiding up misconduct and hiding. hiding what they're doing. And so that's. why we're very focused on finding out.

whether the right people voted, whether. people who were supposed to vote voted, whether there was one vote cast per. voter. And that's what we're doing in in. multiple states. >> All right, so that was acting attorney. general Todd Blance. Adam, your reaction. to that? >> It sounds entirely bogus to me. I very. closely followed the case in Georgia. I. mean, let's just say at the outset the. 2020 election results in Georgia were. confirmed by audits, recounts, and. lawsuits galore. Every single one of.

them they lost. Six years later the. Trump FBI seizes ballots in Atlanta and. we see the affidavit they have no new. evidence. And what do we learn from the. grand jury? That they're going to look. for information about every voter who. voted in the 2020 election in Fulton. County. That isn't a targeted. investigation. That isn't a skeleton key. of mass fraud. That is just spinning the wheels of the.

big lie again and again. >> All right, well we will of course leave. it there. If we have any more legal. updates we'll bring them to you. For. those who are watching right now, if. you'd like to hear more from Adam or. support his work, support independent. media, the best way to do that is to. subscribe to All Rise News. It is an. excellent resource and a great way again. to build up this independent media. ecosystem. So I'm going to put the link. to All Rise News right here on the. screen and also in the post description. of this video. Adam, as always, thank. you so much for taking the time. >> Always a pleasure, Brian.
