Trump's Illegality in Venezuela; Hegseth's Unconstitutional Attempt to Punish Senator Mark Kelly - Glenn Kirschner
I recently sat down with military law expert, law professor, and retired Army JAG officer Dan Maurer. When I asked Dan his assessment of what Trump did by sending troops into Venezuela, he said, the United States "launched a war."
We discussed the implications of Trump invasion of Venezuela, well as Pete Hegseth's improper, unconstitutional attempts the punish Senator Mark Kelly for speaking the truth about the obligations of military members to disobey unlawful orders. - Glenn Kirschner - 01/09/2026.
