Main Justice is the next era of legal analysis from Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord, the veteran lawyers behind the hit podcast Prosecuting Donald Trump. As the criminal cases against Trump wind down and his new administration comes to power, Andrew and Mary draw on their extensive experience working within the Department of Justice to break down what’s happening inside Trump’s DOJ. Each week, they use their platform on Main Justice to safeguard against assaults on our laws, our Constitution, and our democracy.

    Can’t recommend enough
    This show is required listening and explains so much of what is going on in the DOJ without the political spin. Really focused on the rule of law and how what’s happening is undermining it. Thank you for the work you do.
  • *GEMenhir
    Thank You!!!
    Glad you both are using your deep knowledge and voices to keep us, the American people up to date on the facts. As each day passes with this administration it becomes more and more important for us all to know WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON! Thank you so much! Emma Miller Oregon, USA
  • Californian in TX
    Every episode is awesome. I learn so much and love Andrew and Mary for explaining it all!
    haven't missed an episode !
  • Garlo756
    Huge fan of the show
    I wait for this show. Love listening to you both. Very respectful of one another and your audience. I’ve learned so much.
  • snoflure
    I’m your biggest fan!
    Thank You so much for taking all the insanity in this country and breaking it down to make sense of it! I’ve been watching you both on MSNBC for a long time. It was great but never long enough! Now I have you both in my house! 🤣 You have given me hope that we still might have a chance with people like you fighting for our constitutional rights! ❤️
  • EugeneOregon ducks
    Gratitude Gratitude Gratitude
    To your team and to you both - I often hear your podcast within hours of your Tuesday release. Special note thanks for reading the cases - when you do - that has to be a difficult and arduous task. Your podcast and a handful of other sources completes what I can handle. Will “peacefully protest at most 50-50 /1 events . I stand by you both and speak up and do not hide my passion to protect our democracy.

    So, you 2 think we should continue to seek the opinion of the 50 “intelligence” “officials” after their letter claiming the Hunter laptop to be Russian misinformation??? Really???
  • mad overlord
    (Put up | shut up) ^-1
    Andrew Weissmann is a voice of someone who could have made a difference, but did not. Frustrating to hear the whine from a front line actor.

    Episode Boggles the Mind
    Absolutely remarkable episode again . Let us not forget that Trump took out from the White Houde web site the link to the Constitution. Thank you Andrew and Mary . We shall hold our country .
  • StuckinTenn
    Love the New Title and Focus
    I continue to love this podcast. Always accurate, informative, and witty, too. Thank you!
  • Magnumschwantz
    One sided view
    Pardons for allegedly innocent people wasn’t explained enough. If no crimes were committed, why the need for a pardon?

    Justice
    This is absolutely my favorite podcast, and key to my ongoing commitment to Justice, and to my own mental health. Thank you both, and all of your production staff for a weekly dose of sanity.
  • Taralainee
    Make it make sense
    These two are gonna be an invaluable voice of the next four years. Dark days ahead folks.
  • Il machinista
    Don’t subscribe to MSNBC commercials still present
    Ok. I thought I would support MSNBC with the benefit of listening to Main Justice without the annoying commercials. However, even though I have the subscription and even though the podcast says it’s the subscriber version, there are commercials. What a waste of money! Buyer beware. Smells like a fraud to me
  • BOM malarky
    Thank you for continuing!
    This is one of the podcasts I look forward to the most. Thank you so much for the succinct, factual, and evidence based law information. I love that you will still be hosting and look forward to more.
  • MamaHHI
    Still here
    I’ve looked forward to listening to these podcasts weekly for years ( seems like, anyway). Most of us just need a break from the terrible election results and are avoiding news until it’s back in our faces. Thank you guys for staying the course. We need your wisdom and appreciate your time and expertise. We still have questions and no reasonable answers. Going to be a long 4 years, hope y’all will be there to help.

    We need you! Stay strong and keep us in the know with your facts and insights.
  • 11dalya
    Delightful
    Mary McCord and Andrew Weismann teach me something new every episode. I love their interactions as one or the other will clarify a point. Love the snapadoodle discussion in this episode which provided nice levity during these difficult times.
  • This guy/republican
    Wake up to the fact that Donald J Trump is NOT a criminal, wow shocker
    His prosecutions were faked and there is abundant proof for this, women are not going to lose their rights, they just can’t kill baby’s anymore. Kamala Harris was an absolutely TERRIBLE woman and candidate. Her “ideas” would do more damage than Biden ever did, she kept people in a cell longer then needed just for free labor, she slept with everyone to get to where she was, and trump does not hate immigrants, he hates illegal immigration. And the whole LGTBQ weird stuff, I am personally fine with a adult doing what they want but the fact that they are pushing this on children who’s brains are developing is sickening, and for the people who want to identify as animals? Ok then you just can’t drive a car or own a house or property, because it is illegal in the state of EVERY STATE for an animal to drive, own a house, or own property. Please realize that we are going to be ok and the country is going to be better then ever

    Mary doesn't play well with others. I would love to hear Andrew with a cohost who doesn't have to clean every bone or require someone to genuflect the way Mary does.

    Elated at the news that the podcast, and its illustrious hosts, are not going to go away. 🫶☺️

    Thank goodness!
    Thank goodness you are staying with this podcast! You don’t know how important it is to me. You all are smart, caring, concerned about our democracy and the rule of law and are so generous in spirit. Thank you!
  • Les in NY
    Please continue
    We NEED you to stay with us, and help us navigate the frightening times ahead. We need you more than ever. The legal and political landscape is terrifying terrain. Don’t leave us!
  • Marni O
    One of the best
    I’ll miss this podcast. But…. I hate that DonOld is getting away with everything. We were entitled to see him tried for his many crimes. America is a travesty. And I don’t think this election was flawless. Bomb threats only in Democratic precincts that are traced back to Russia? Elon’s total shadiness? Paying off voters and getting just a wimpy letter from Garland? We can’t cry any foul without sounding like MAGAts but maybe that’s the point. Our institutions and criminal justice system cannot ever be trusted now that we have this violent rapist and criminal facing no consequences for trying to overthrow the government and then being REELECTED to the highest office. If he really did get this many votes, then America is hopeless and deserves to fall. Because he should never have been allowed to run until his trials were resolved. Goodbye, America. I hope all felons realize if they can’t find a decent job they can just run for President.

    Great podcast. Thank you for the updates. I’ve been sad all week with the election results but one of the concerns has been the cases. A criminal ran for the presidency to run from the legal system and was successful. There’s something fundamentally wrong with our system. I hope that work will commence to fight back on presidential immunity.
  • Karla from Cranberry
    Gonna Miss You Guys
    I am assuming that now that Trump has been re-elected, that your podcast will soon be cancelled. I have to tell you how much I have enjoyed each episode and how it has fueled my exercise regimen. It has also make me regret my decision not to attend law school, but rather go out into the world to make money. But money is nice too! Anyway, Andrew and Mary you are both stellar and I will look forward to any new podcast or appearances on MSNBC. Also, I wish you the best given the ominous predictions for all our futures. Thank you for your dedication to the law.
  • @back_two_tenths_farm
    Please Continue
    I have counted on you to navigate murky terrain for me for the past year and a half. I hope that you will continue to provide your learned, experienced perspective throughout the uncertain future.
  • Rain Worshipper
    Great podcast, poor implementation of ad-free
    I have paid for MSNBC premium, and about half of the MSNBC podcast episodes that come in as premium still have all the ads. Please fix this. I appreciate the bonus content, but I was partly signing up for relief from ads. Thanks. (And these are not just the ads for MSNBC, it’s all kinds of ads)

    What a sham
    Worst “podcast” I’ve ever cursed my poor ears with. Don’t even bother

  • blissfulbiscuits
    Listen and repeat
    Your broadcasts are so loaded with information, and so well explained that I actually enjoy listening several times. You’ve increased my legal vocabulary and I have a far better understanding of what is happening in the array of Trump trials. My question is about Mary McCord’s testimony before Congress. With now all of her opinions and statements now presented to the Congress, what is the outcome? What effect can her testimony make on the members and to what avail? All this great information- just hanging out there as a big “so what”?
  • KarieKaye
    Great Podcast !!
    Since I have no legal background, I love listening to these great legal minds to find out the latest on Trump’s legal issues. I have questions to ask, but I cannot figure out how to send a question for the expert panel. I love the pod! Andrew, I absolutely love whenever you’re on any of the MSNBC shows!
  • loverforsure
    I can recognize Mary or Andrews voice anywhere
    Every Tuesday I am searching for the latest episode. I love Andres’s humor and Mary’s facts on the law.
  • Long time Booknotes Lover
    Still getting ads on MSNBC Premium?!
    Hello Andrew and Mary, I subscribed to the MSNBC Premium version for your podcasts to exclude ads, but I am still getting ads. Can you help explain why this is? Thank you.

    I subscribed to msnbc premium and periodically still have ads...!
  • Brthegood12345
    You are the only two I trust
    You are the only two people I trust to share & explain truth & facts. Please do an episode on election preliminary polling & debate updates. 🩵
  • Betsy & Ari
    Informative and enjoyable
    I love this show. The hosts are personable and knowledgeable. I really like the way they explain stuff to the lay listener. I appreciate their candor.
  • Pablo Puppy
    August 27 Episode
    I wish I was more confident 11th circuit would reverse Cannon, because if it ends up in SCOTUS, they’ve made clear that the amount of chaos they inflict is no matter for them to be concerned with. The majority of the senior court is rewriting the Constitution and our laws in their entirety, legislation be damned.
  • shannoncMG
    My #1. Go To podcast for Trump accountability news
    This team strikes just the right balance between being informative and keeping it light enough that it’s never boring. The chemistry between them is perfect. Listening to them is like sitting down for coffee with a couple knowledgeable and trusted friends to catch up with developments.
  • G00bers Mom
    Too much mansplaining
    The information given is very good on this podcast. But I perfectly understand what Mary McCord is saying when she talks. Andrew does not need to mansplain her comments or input.

    Prosecuting Donald Trump
    Excellent! Would be better if Mary didn't dominate the commentary quite as much. A little restraint would allow more balance and be a little less grating.
  • whitmacally
    Most qualified podcast
    I look forward to all of Mary and Andrew’s episodes. To hear the actual legal terms and facts opposed to what media aka TRUMPLICANS want to believe. I just respect your opinions and willingness to dive deep into the actual law and help us interpret what it is. Thank you for your service, I recommend this show to all my friends and family.

  • CancerBoA
    Pay Wall??
    I love this podcast and I love the people on it but I’m not paying to listen because it’s not fair to your loyal followers to suddenly have to get a credit card just to hear what other intelligent people should tell all of us for free. This will be a bummer all around.
