Lacks gravitas

NPR reports the news like they are glad that Air America was killed. Continues to treat the farcical legal arguments of the convicted fraudster felon as if they had any merit just because the lies were able to fool enough of the voters. Next NPR will be telling you there are a lot of doubts about the 2020 election (they probably already have). Facts are really just opinions, anyway, right? This show still spreads the lie that DOGE is a cost cutting organization without providing any evidence. Seems like a ridiculous claim to make unless they are trying to trick their audience. They are probably afraid of being “audited” by a twenty-year-old hacker so they need to lick boots rather than report factual information.

Great idea to use the excellent articles to keep us up to date. Now in March, I find myself feeling as if the information presented,while excellent, is not what I need to know. This show started to keep track of lawsuits against Trump. Now what I want to know is the progress of all the lawsuits against the Trump administration. In other words, are all the firings, budget, cuts, etc. being stopped by the court system, or allowed? Thank you.

Typical bland NPR feel. Heavily left-leaning attempt at journalism. Half of these short episodes are just the advertisement…

A seven minute episode with 4 minutes of ads and intros……

Just a repeat of what you hear on NPR. No effort to even try and be balanced.

Why no new episodes?? Some happening!

I don’t like Trump. I think he belongs in jail so I started to listen to “Trumps Trials” to learn how this was progressing. However since this graduated to “Trumps Terms” it has effectively become a platform for trolling. NPR illustrates and validates Trumps arguments about the Liberal media and biased reporting. NPR gives MAGA a run for their money when it comes to being jerks.

Love the show. Hate maga and where this countries going. I rely on you guys and gals to help us stay informed. The intro is painful having to hear the clowns whinning. Yes Elon Trump and Gaetz that means you.

It would be a really great to have a nerdy podcast focused on the legal (and sometimes political) status of all the Trump litigation. Maybe even branch out to other political litigation (prosecution of elected officials and election litigation). With lawyers or other legal analysts going into detail. However, this is not that podcast. Unfortunately, this podcast is more often quick takes that you've probably already heard in other news, with maybe a minute of deeper detail. And it is really coming from the perspective of a news reporter, not a legal analyst.

This is an informative and intelligent podcast from which I always learn something. I'm excited that NPR is now expanding it to include election coverage. Go NPR!

Make Aileen Cannon Accountable

Please put forth SOME effort to be bipartisan. We all pay for this

The fact that my tax dollars are going to these awful liars is theft. They are biased and DO NOT represent anything fair and balanced and don't deserve a frigging penny from us anymore. No!

No.

It is very frustrating to listen to this podcast because it conveys incorrect information. For instance, the district courts decision on presidential immunity in the criminal case is described on the podcast as based on the former president acts being not part of his official duties as president, but instead as a candidate. But that is not at all what the district court said. The district court said there is no presidential immunity whatsoever from criminal prosecution. In a separate civil case against the former president, the court of appeals made the distinction between presidential acts and candidate acts in the context of civil presidential immunity, but that is not what the case before the Supreme Court now is about. Also puzzling if the claim that every day of delay now means a day of delay in the trial date. Also not true. In fact, the trial court held the trial date firm.more over, the petitioning of the Supreme Court for review before separate court opinion is described as something no one saw coming. Everyone saw it coming who is paying attention. And those mistakes are all in the first five minutes. Do better. 5/11 tried again today. Ugh. Jed Shigarman has strong opinions but lacks knowledge of basic undisputed facts, including that there are 3 predicate crimes that provide foundation for felonies (he thinks 1), Cohen was convicted for violating fed campaign laws for this very transaction (so it isn’t a state deciding the payment violated federal law), and that jail time might not be likely but it is not impossible like he thinks (it is the opposite: possible).

If you want both sides Trump news, this is the podcast for you, because as God knows, Democrats mst be held account for Trump’s crimes.

Your reporting has repeatedly said that Trump’s penalty was reduced by the appeals court. That is FALSE. Trump’s bond amount, only, was reduced by the appeals court. The overall appeal to the half a billion judgment has not been ruled on. Your reporters lack legal knowledge and experience. Please get the facts straight. I am an avid listener but the reporters are inexperienced and you need someone with deeper legal understanding and experience on this podcast. The details matter.

If someone, not Trump, a person of color, a woman, someone in the LGBTQ community who’s for birth and gun control was accused of only 1/2 of the charges, would you want them in the White House? If Trump is innocent, why delay the trials where he could immediately to clear his name? Do you honestly believe that a multimillionaire has anything in common with you or understands your daily challenges? (You’re mad about the price of eggs while his family is buying islands from foreign governments) Why is he the only one saying he’s innocent while the rest are calling this a political attack? (Kinda like a murder who says “You just don’t like me!”) If he did nothing wrong, why does he need immunity?

Thank you for taking time to do this.

While I like that NPR is doing a show dedicated to these trials, please make more of an effort to be nonpartisan. Having a guest comment that she’s “rethinking her life choices” because Ron DeSantis agrees with her on a legal point is not a good look, nor what drew me to this podcast. I think the public want more of the legal explanations and nuances behind these trials rather than hearing one side’s repeatedly characterized as “dumb.” Make that one improvement, and this is a slam dunk.

Love it!

NPR needs to be defunded! Trump is telling the Truth, NPR is part of the machine telling a false narrative!

….by more lies about a man that gave up his entire life of luxury to be ridiculed by every left-wing progressive on the planet. NPR is sadly a tax funded resource who want the constitution completely eradicated along with the other communists!!!

We have much needed more focus on this issue above and beyond occasional snippets in news and obviously biased podcasts filled with hyperbole. Two established journalists with restraint and integrity are here to explore the legal and fiscal ramifications of Trump’s crimes - I’m looking forward to hearing more.

Stop it! I cannot believe two of my favorite podcasters are doing a weekly podcast about one of my favorite news topics! You made my morning and I can’t wait until next week!
