A Conversation with Mike Fanone: Fighting the Inhumanity & Lawlessness of the Trump Administration - Glenn Kirschner
Mike Fanone has become one of the most vivid faces of law enforcement heroism as a result of defending the United States Capitol on January 6th from the angry mob Donald Trump sent there to try to steal the 2020 presidential election from the person the American people elected, Joe Biden.
But long before January 6, 2021, I had the opportunity to work a murder case with Mike when he was an MPD DC police officer and I was a homicide prosecutor at the DC US Attorney's Office.
I sat down with Mike on Substack for a candid, far-reaching conversation about the state of American democracy and the direction in which it's heading. - 11/27/2025.
