DOJ: CIVIL SUIT AGAINST NY ATTORNEY GENERAL AND GOVERNOR.. RICHARD EPSTEIN, CIVITAS 1876 SCOTUS
On this episode of 'The Issue Is', California's Attorney General, Rob Bonta, addresses Trump's immigration crackdown and discusses the joint effort by all Democratic Attorneys General in the country to push back on the administration.
On a Valentine's Day edition of "The Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan dives into an ethics complaint against Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, who sure seems to be taking a bribe from a liberal billionaire to file climate change lawsuits.
Harry talks to Kristy Greenberg, former Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division in the Southern District of New York, about the burgeoning scandal involving the resignation of the acting United States Attorney and multiple other officials in her office and at Main Justice. The resignations all come in response to an improper command by the acting deputy Attorney General, Emile Bove, to dismiss charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, notwithstanding that there is no question about the righteousness – i.e. the solid facts and law –that undergird the prosecution. Through Greenberg's experience in the Southern District and Harry's at Main Justice, they are able to piece together what has happened behind the scenes to date and what may transpire in the future, and all of it pits Bove, Bondi and Trump on the wrong side of the rule of law and Sassoon and Company on the right side. This is not going away.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

26: Biden's Empathy for Child Killers, Trump Squandering his Meager Mandate, & a Saintly Single MotherWelcome to the post-Christmas episode of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. Here is what is on deck for this week's milestone episode.1) A discussion of Biden's decision to commute the sentences of Federal death row inmates, including those who murdered federal witnesses and children.2) A recent incident on the F train in New York City where an illegal immigrant, Sebastian Zapeta, set a sleeping woman on fire and killed her.3) The various warning signs that Trump 2.0 is blowing any chance of success with the spending bill mishap in the House are based on Elon Musk's input, several questionable Cabinet appointments, including Matt Gaetz's failed nomination as Attorney General, who was condemned in a House ethics report for committing statutory rape, heavy drug abuse, and spending $90K on prostitutes, and Trump's desire to take back the Panama Canal and buy Greenland.4) We revisit the story of Mickey Barreto, the scammer who tried to claim ownership of the New Yorker Hotel. Apparently, not only was Mickey a con artist, but he also was an abusive father to his son Paul, who escaped the hotel room and was taken in by a single mother, Jennifer Ryan, who plans to adopt him. Even better, Paul has become a promising musician despite his troubled upbringing.Connect with David & Stu: Email David & Stu: davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.Connect with David & Stu: • Email David & Stu: davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.The views expressed on air during David & Stu...

With special guest: Mark Tedeschi KC AM… in conversation with Bill Kable Our guest today is the well-known former Crown Prosecutor for New South Wales and author of Murder at Myall Creek, Mark Tedeschi. Mark has written a deeply moving account of the massacre of 28 Aboriginal men, women and children in 1838 which led to a trial that defined the nation of Australia. If the law of the land in Australia was to have any credibility, if the principle is that we are all equal before the law, then this is a watershed case. At the time of the massacre it was only 50 years since Captain Arthur Phillip and his first fleet arrived in Australia yet the inhabitants of the country for the previous 60,000 years were under threat of genocide from the new arrivals. There were many in the community who were sympathetic to all Aboriginal killers and this was expressed in the editorials of the major newspapers such as The Sydney Herald (before it added “Morning” to its masthead). Against this background there were some heroes that stood up against the general view of the free settlers, the squatters, the military, the emancipists, the newspapers and even the convict population which still amounted to 36% of the population. Principal among these was John H Plunkett who as Attorney-General at the time had the duty to prosecute the eleven convicts and former convicts who were put on trial for murder. Podcast (mp3)

The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has taken full responsibility for the high-profile cases that have been dropped, insisting that he was not directed by President John Dramani Mahama to do so.
Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC explore the latest developments in the case of Lucy Letby, as her new barrister holds a second press conference revealing the conclusion of 14 experts that every baby died either as a result of natural causes or because of medical neglect. Do these new medical opinions ‘demolish' the evidence of the prosecution experts, as her new barrister claims? Or, as some allege, has this new analysis taken place in a vacuum, ignoring all the circumstantial evidence presented to the jury confirming the Crown's expert testimony that these infants were deliberately harmed, and that their attacker was Lucy Letby? Ken and Tim also consider the stance of the CCRC in the face of what will certainly be a robust prosecution response to this new material, and look at the approach likely to be taken by the Court of Appeal if the case is referred back to it by the CCRC. Finally the discussion turns to the increasingly concerted attacks from within government on Richard Hermer, the Attorney General. What does this obviously coordinated campaign of hostile briefing tell us about the relationship between a new Labour administration led by a former human rights barrister, and the law?
Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Vincent Oshana, and Adam Sosnick are joined by Glenn Beck as they cover Trump's possible third term, DOGE exposing FEMA's mismanagement of USAID funds, and 19 state Attorney Generals prosecuting Anthony Fauci.------❤️ GET THE VT VALENTINE'S DAY COLLECTION:https://bit.ly/40H8RuT
Today's podcast show is a repurposing of Alan Kaplinsky's “fireside chat” with Matthew J. Platkin, the New Jersey Attorney General, which was the first half of a webinar we produced on January 17, 2025. That webinar was Part 3 of our webinar series entitled “The Impact of the Election on the CFPB and Others.” In Part 3, we focus on the role of state attorneys general in a rapidly shifting CFPB environment. The importance of Part 3 is underscored by the recent actions taken by President Trump to fire Rohit Chopra as Director of the CFPB and to appoint new Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, and then new Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director, Russell Vought, as Acting Directors. Messrs, Bessent, and Vought have essentially temporarily stopped all activities of the CFPB for the time being. During our “fireside chat” with General Platkin, we discussed the following topics, among others: 1. What is General Platkin's background, including his stint as Chief Counsel to the New Jersey Governor? 2. Since General Platkin has been New Jersey Attorney General, what are some examples of the consent orders or lawsuits he has initiated related to consumer financial services? 3. Has the New Jersey Attorney General previously collaborated with the CFPB and/or FTC in investigating certain companies or segments of the consumer financial services industry, and is that likely to change? 4. What effect will there be on consumers in New Jersey if President Trump appoints (as he did) an Acting Director of the CFPB whose interpretation and enforcement of federal consumer protection laws differs markedly from Rohit Chopra? 5. What will the New Jersey Attorney General's office do in response to this anticipated shifting CFPB environment? 6. Elon Musk has called for the deletion of the CFPB and Project 2025 has also called for the elimination of the CFPB. If that were to happen, what would the New Jersey Attorney General's office do to fill this anticipated void? 7. We then looked beyond New Jersey to other state attorney general's offices similarly situated to the New Jersey Attorney General office – who will have the need to initiate more cases when resources are limited. We discussed how state Attorney General's (including the New Jersey Attorney General) have networked with each other to investigate and sue companies that are violating consumers' rights in multiple states. We then discussed why it is anticipated that the networking process is likely to increase. 8. The areas of consumer financial protection law and segments of the consumer financial services industry that will be areas of focus for the New Jersey Attorney General during 2025? Our next episode will be the second half of our January 17 webinar in which several of our colleagues will explore in depth why we expect state Attorney General's offices to significantly ramp up their investigations involving and lawsuits filed against banks and other consumer financial services providers. Parts 1, 2 and 3 of our webinar series appear here, here, and here. Our podcast shows (repurposing Parts 1 and 2 of our webinar series) appear here, here, here, and here. The title of Part 1 is: “The Impact of the election on the CFPB: Regulations and other written guidance, which featured Alan Kaplinsky's “fireside chat” with David Silberman who held senior positions at the CFPB for almost 10 years during the Directorships of Cordray, Mulvaney, and Kraninger. Part 2 is: “The Impact of the Election on the CFPB: Supervision and Enforcement, which featured Alan Kaplinsky's “fireside chat” with former Director Kathy Kraninger during Trump‘s first term in office.

Movement lawyers Nora Fathalipour and Arash Ghiassi have their hands full defending activists targeted by Police and prosecutors, particularly in Ontario where a Hate Crimes Working Group in the Attorney General's office has an explicitly racist mandate.Hear first hand the process police and the Crown are putting people through in order to intimidate, silence and criminalize movements. Even though most charges are dropped, the ordeal of having a publicized arrest, bail conditions and the process to clear their name can take a toll on activists. This is why having legal representation that understands the broader issues at play is so important.

Second Amendment, Trump, Pam Bondi, gun rights, Sweden, school shooting, gun laws, cultural issues, Armed American Radio Takeaways Trump's executive order on the Second Amendment is significant. Pam Bondi's role as Attorney General will be tested regarding gun rights. Cultural differences impact gun ownership perspectives in Sweden and the U.S. Recent school shootings highlight the complexities of gun laws. The U.S. has a unique cultural problem contributing to gun violence. Judicial decisions are increasingly recognizing self-defense rights. Gun ownership in Sweden is heavily regulated, unlike in the U.S. The conversation around gun rights needs to focus on cultural issues. The importance of personal responsibility in gun ownership is emphasized. The need for a proactive approach to mental health and youth issues is critical.

In a major twist in the Ellen Greenberg case, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner now says he no longer believes her death was a suicide—after 14 years of official rulings saying otherwise. The Medical examiner is now saying the Ellen Greenberg appears to be what he originally called it--a homicide. Governor Josh Shapiro, who handled the case as Attorney General, is speaking out, standing by the suicide ruling. #BestGuest: Gavin Fish – Independent Investigative Reporter & Host of Gavin Fish on YouTube Get Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxAll Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllen #JoshShapiro #TrueCrime #SurvivingTheSurvivor #STS #BestGuests #GavinFish #HomicideInvestigation #UnsolvedMystery #JusticeMatters #Philadelphia
MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts "The Beat" on Thursday, February 6, and reports on Elon Musk's government takeover, Attorney General Pam Bondi's latest orders aimed at reshaping the Justice Department, and MAGA's fake populism. Alexis Loeb, Michael Steele, Blake Zeff and April Verrett join.
Shortly after being sworn in, Attorney General Pam Bondi published a memo regarding "ending the weaponization of the federal government." The problem is, the priorities in this memo signal the death of the independence of the Department of Justice. DOJ's priorities will shift from focusing on crimes that impact the American people to seeking revenge against Donald Trump's foes. The Bondi memo promises to pursue "Special Counsel Jack Smith and his staff," "Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (and) New York Attorney General Letitia James, and their respective staffs," and those who investigated and prosecuted the crimes committed at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. This obscene pervasion of the rule of law and the independence of the Department of Justice constitutes ACTUAL weaponization of the DOJ. Glenn discusses the new reporting and the rule-of-law--busting Bondi memo.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2X aka Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson from the Ben Ferguson podcast fills in for Mark. It's a blessing that President Trump didn't win in 2020 - he wouldn't have been able to accomplish what he's doing now. Consider DOGE - it wouldn't have become a thing in 2020. Trump might not have signed an executive order banning men from women's sports, but he did so today. Americans are pushing back against transgender policies. This is a focused President with a team around him that supports, rather than undermines, his efforts. Later, Democrats have returned to their familiar strategy of impeaching Trump. When they refuse to accept the voters' choice, they resort to impeachment. The underlying reason for these impeachment calls is their frustration that Americans are discovering how much of their tax dollars are being spent on wasteful projects. Also, Pam Bondi was sworn in as Attorney General and her first action was to freeze funding for all sanctuary cities. This move is aimed at upholding federal immigration law. Afterward, it was no accident that Benjamin Netanyahu was the first foreign leader to meet with Trump; it sent a clear message to the world that America stands with Israel. Finally, what might be the biggest scandal in news media history has come to light: Politico and the AP have been receiving payments from the federal government. I believe we can all agree that taxpayer dollars should not be funding these news organizations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
