OMG!! YOU *CAN’T* MAKE THIS STUFF UP! PERSON WHO FILED MOTION TO INTERVENE ON TRUMP’S BEHALF IN IRS FIASCO IS DISBARRED, CRIMINALLY-CHARGED FORMER ATTORNEY AND HE SOUNDS CRAY CRAY!
by Anne P. Mitchell, Esq. – giving you zero hyperbole and 100% facts in plain English about what’s going on with this administration and the law
Let me introduce you to one Glenn H. Stephens, III, PhD, JD. He has filed a Motion to Intervene in the Trump v. IRS case. You know, the one that was *so* fraught that the judge took the *very unusual* step of reopening the case *after* she had dismissed and closed it at Trump’s request. You may remember me telling you how suspect it was that *Trump*, the *Plaintiff*, had asked that it be dismissed *with prejudice*, which would bar *him* from bringing the case again (now why would he do that?)
A Motion to Intervene is essentially when someone says to the Court “Hey, Court, I’m not a party to this case, but I should be, and I’d like to be, because I have rights that are going to be impacted by this case, so can I? Can I? Huh? Huh?”
We have to imagine, although we might be wrong, that the Trump team brought Stephens in to do this. Maaaaybe he approached them first, but in any event they had to know that he was filing this motion to intervene. And he’s definitely their type.
So, just who is Glenn H. Stephens, III PhD JD? (The H stands for Hiram, by the way.)
Glenn Stephens is a disbarred attorney (his *254 page* disbarment proceeding is included for Notes from the Front members). DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET DISBARRED?? He was disbarred for all sorts of stuff, primarily behavioral and also abusing the legal and court systems. This man actually *taunted* the D.C. bar, saying to them in an email:
“Please don’t kill trees, waste taxpayer resources and ODC personnel on me. ODC has no credibility or legitimacy to me. Or the drivel you generate. You are simply dishonest lawyers who do nothing to regulate dishonest lawyers. And racists to boot. Rather than wasting time, money, and paper on your sophistries, please disbar me. Disbarment by ODC would be an honor. To date, aside from competing in the triathlon world championships, my greatest honors are my PhD from UCLA and my law degree from Boalt. But a disbarment letter from ODC will be framed and go up right alongside those diplomas. Please do me the honor of disbarring me. I will be so very very proud.
Glenn”
(Oh Boalt Hall, how could you?)
But wait, there’s more! Because almost exactly a year ago (June 5, 2025) this happened:
“For a second time, the disbarred D.C. attorney failed to show for a hearing at the Lycoming County Courthouse related to his theft, stalking, and harassment charges. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.” (From the NorthCentralPA news outlet)
To be clear, that “disbarred D.C. attorney” is Glenn H. Stephens, PhD JD.
But wait again, there’s even *more*. The previous year, in September 2024, “Glenn H. Stephens III, 66, was arrested Friday afternoon on charges of attempted theft by extortion, stalking and harassment for allegedly sending nearly three dozen emails – some threatening in nature – to a DuBoistown couple who had tried to help him after he lost his job” (From the Williamsport Sun Gazette)
THIS is the kind of person with whom Trump is packing his corner.
But it gets even better – his motion is absolutely over the top! Do any of you remember the Crazy Lunch Menu guy?? In case you don’t, I have put this up on my personal site – give it a listen, go ahead, I’ll wait:
Audio of Crazy Lunch Menu Man David Price Reading School Lunch Menu
Ok, did you read/listen to that? THIS guy makes THAT guy look positively sane!
Stephens’ Motion to Intervene (included for Notes from the Front members) *starts out* saying “Contrary to disinformation on social and legacy media and lying pundits, Donald J. Trump did not bring the instant case in his official capacity.”
Now I realize that Stephens may be oxygen-deprived from having his nose so far up Trump’s nonoxygenated regions, but…what?? This is *not* how you start a motion. If he hadn’t been disbarred for all the other bad stuff, he surely should have been for murder most foul of legal decorum!
And oh, the issue he takes with the Court giving any regard to that amicus brief from the 35 former federal judges. I mean, what could one sitting federal judge, and 35 former federal judges, know about the law as compared to this one disbarred, discredited, and disgraced attorney?
In another part he talks about how the caption is “botched” (you guys remember that I told you that the caption is the part that you might think of as a ‘heading’ – it says who is the plaintiff, who is the defendant, and in what court the lawsuit has been filed). Stephens is claiming that the caption was erroneous (yeah, botched is *not* a legal term) because it says “President Donald Trump” versus the IRS when it really should have said just “Donald Trump” because he’s suing the IRS as an individual, not as the president. In fact, on *his* caption Stephens even has it captioned as “Donald. J. Trump, in his individual capacity” because, you know, that’s what you do if you don’t like the official caption, you make one up of your own. Of course if Trump’s legal team had wanted to have the caption read “Donald Trump” instead of “President Donald Trump”, they would have done so.
THEN he brags about his work as a mediator (because, you know, he can’t work as a lawyer, which he neglects to mention), bragging that he settles 96% of his federal mediation cases (while neglecting to mention how many such cases he’s actually had, and whether any of them were, you know, his own – in addition to his own run ins with the law, he’s the plaintiff in at least a few federal court cases – he’s a litigious little guy).
And guess on what “rights” he is hanging his request to intervene. Go ahead, guess.
That’s right! He says he is entitled to money from the slush fund!
Just how much ridiculousness can one disbarred attorney pack into 13 pages? ..I mean.. I can’… even…
And the cherry on top? He signs the Motion as Glenn H. Stephens III, PhD *Esq*. Now, for those of you who don’t know, only people who have been admitted to the bar and who are *still* *licensed* members of the bar can use “Esq.”. That’s actually what it means. JD simply means you graduated from law school (again, Boalt, I’m throwing shade at you). So unless he suckered some other state into giving him active attorney status, he is *not* an Esq.. What’s more, it’s considered correct to include your state bar number with your signature on legal pleadings – even the DOJ lawyers get that right. But nary a bar number or barred state to be seen in that signature block.
