A former Trump official/security expert who investigated USPS contractor Jesse Morgan's story about trucking hundreds of thousands of sealed mail-in ballots from NY to PA right before the 2020 election calls out former Attorney General Bill Barr for stopping his investigation. But it gets darker than that. Author and former White House stenographer Mike McCormick joins us live to dicuss a big name in the Epstein files: former White House lawyer Kathy Ruemmler. The connection McCormick found among Ruemmler, Jeffrey Epstein, and a priest sex abuse scandal at Seton Hall University.
In the second hour of Episode #1,155 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards connects via video with attorney and Ole Miss grad Sean Yurtkuran for an in-depth breakdown of the recent court victory for Ole Miss quarterback Tre Harris (formerly Trinidad Chambliss), who secured a waiver to play another season despite NCAA pushback. They dissect the legal nuances, including the judge's injunction to prevent "irreparable harm," the dramatic courtroom exit by NCAA attorneys before the verdict, and the slim odds of a successful appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court—citing local Ole Miss connections and the timeline extending beyond the 2025 season. The discussion expands to broader NCAA challenges like antitrust exemptions, athlete employment status, and inconsistent rulings, with Clay praising Harris as an exciting player and noting the on-field implications for Ole Miss post-Lane Kiffin. Shifting gears, Sean shares his eye-opening "revelation" on the Jeffrey Epstein files, revealing the vast international network's ties to intelligence (including Bill Barr's father), its ripple effects in England (resignations, threats to the monarchy involving figures like Peter Mandelson and Prince Andrew), and the "elite vs. us" dynamic fueling global divisions. They touch on Pizzagate parallels, victim narratives, and the lack of accountability, with Sean admitting past skepticism but now seeing the full scope. The segment teases Sean's noon fill-in on The Lindsey Beckham Show and their upcoming Thursday co-host gig—offering sharp legal insights, football fervor, and conspiracy-fueled intrigue for sports fans and truth-seekers alike!
Welcome to the Left Hook for this week! It was all a dream...but now it's becoming anightmare quickly. Mark Bland is here to discuss the latest release of epstein files! Donald Trump's crumbling under the Epstein files avalanche – his name's plastered across horrific child exploitation allegations. He refuses to sue accusers because the truth would bury him! Epstein was arrested and died in 2019 under Trump's watch, with Bill Barr's DOJ – not Biden's. Even pro-Trump Bill O'Reilly fumbled basic facts live on air, proving the right-wing spin machine is broken. Trump's projecting big time: whining about "cheating" while evidence points to his shady 2016 and 2024 wins via allies like Elon Musk. Now he's floating skipping 2026 midterms if Republicans lose – classic dictator move! If he steals our votes, what's our recourse? We endured his chaos once; we won't let him end free elections. The Left Hook is everywhere, from mid-Missouri to the nation, calling out corruption without fear. Tune in Saturdays 9-10 AM CST, share the fight, and resist! Democracy's on the line – we're swinging back!
Newly released Department of Justice documents from the ongoing Epstein Files review include surveillance logs that appear to contradict parts of the official narrative of Jeffrey Epstein's death in 2019. The logs describe an orange-colored figure moving up a staircase toward Epstein's locked housing tier at the Metropolitan Correctional Center late on the evening before his death, around 10:39 p.m. That movement—possibly an inmate or corrections officer carrying linen—was logged differently by the FBI and the DOJ's inspector general, and was not mentioned in earlier official accounts that asserted no one entered the tier that night. Experts reviewing the camera footage say the single working camera angle was limited, leaving uncertainty about whether someone could have approached the tier unnoticed, even as past statements from officials like former Attorney General Bill Barr maintained there were no additional entries.The newly released files also include interviews with prison staff and logs showing procedural failures on the night Epstein died, such as missed wellness checks and inconsistent inmate counts. The discrepancies between the surveillance observations and prior public claims have fueled fresh questions about the events surrounding his death, which was officially ruled a suicide. Though no new definitive evidence of foul play has been established, the details in the video logs and related records have underscored gaps and contradictions in the historical record of what happened inside the jail that night.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Who entered Epstein's jail tier the night of his death?

Sometimes you've just had enough. Bill Barr, two-time Attorney General and author of One Damn Thing After Another, knows the feeling. He joins James, Steve, and Charles today to discuss the legal grounds for the extraordinary rendition of Nicolás Maduro and the options available to federal law enforcement as the Twin Cities tiptoe around an insurrection. The trio speculates on whether the US is reversing its position on Iran, considers the supposed price tag on a Greenland buy, and James declares that he has absolutely no opinion on the new Star Trek series. Not a one. Zip, zero. Don't bother asking...

Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr on the U.S. capture of Maduro. PLUS, the top takeaways of Pope Leo XIV's first Extraordinary Consistory of Cardinals.
Willian (Bill) Barr, attorney who served as United States Attorney General in the administration of President George H. W. Bush from 1991 to 1993 and again in the first administration of President Donald Trump from 2019 to 2020 & author of One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General, joined us on the Guy Benson Show today to discuss the legality of Trump's strikes and subsequent capture of dictator Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela. Barr states that Trump's actions are legally justified due to the explicit involvement of Maduro in cartels that are harming U.S. citizens. Barr also addresses the legality if similar actions were taken against the Mexican cartels, and the pair briefly discussed the investigation into the I.C.E.-involved shooting in Minneapolis.

Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@LegalAFMTN?sub_confirmation=1 In a shock to the world, the Trump administration launched a military operation that nabbed Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in a daring midnight assault. Asha and Renato discuss how a controversial decades-old legal memo written by a young Bill Barr surfaced in the White House's arguments for snatching Maduro, and they dig into why the Trump administration is insisting the raid was just a law enforcement operation and not a violation of the U.N. Charter. Renato and Asha also go over what Trump's assertion of executive and military power means for the rest of the world, especially as the President gleefully issued warnings over the weekend to Colombia, Cuba and Denmark. Plus, they discuss the federal case against Maduro, who claims that he is the head of state and immune from prosecution. Listen up!

Bill Barr's deposition before Congress on Jeffrey Epstein was a masterclass in calculated deflection. While Barr insisted that Epstein's death was “absolutely” suicide, he conceded that the prison surveillance system had “blind spots”—a detail that conveniently leaves just enough room for speculation without providing definitive answers. His reliance on flawed or incomplete camera footage, combined with his dismissal of alternative forensic perspectives, came off less like transparency and more like institutional damage control. Instead of holding the Bureau of Prisons accountable, Barr's narrative positioned the failures as unfortunate but inconsequential, a stance that fails to satisfy the public demand for clarity.Just as troubling was Barr's evasiveness when pressed about Donald Trump's knowledge of Epstein. He admitted to having spoken with Trump about Epstein's death but couldn't recall when one of those conversations occurred—an astonishing lapse considering the gravity of the matter. His reasoning that “if there were more to it, it would have leaked” was not only flippant but dismissive of the very real history of suppression, obstruction, and selective disclosure that has defined the Epstein saga. By leaning on institutional trust in a case defined by betrayal of that very trust, Barr's testimony did little more than reinforce suspicions that the Department of Justice has long been more concerned with containment than accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Barr-Transcript.pdf

Event Summary (WATCH: PRESIDENT TRUMP PRESS CON HERE) The U.S. military executed a highly complex and precise operation in Caracas, Venezuela, to apprehend Maduro. The mission involved over 150 aircraft, advanced coordination across multiple military branches, and cyber and space operations. The operation was completed without any American casualties, which is emphasized as a major success. Geopolitical Context Venezuela’s significance stems from its vast oil reserves (largest in the world) and strategic location near the U.S. Maduro’s regime is portrayed as illegitimate, corrupt, and deeply involved in drug trafficking and alliances with U.S. adversaries (Russia, China, Iran, Hezbollah). The discussion highlights Venezuela’s decline from being one of the wealthiest nations in the 1950s to a failed state under socialist rule. Legal Justifications President Trump acted within his constitutional authority under Article II as Commander-in-Chief. References are made to historical precedents, notably the 1990 capture of Manuel Noriega in Panama. The legal basis includes: FBI’s extraterritorial arrest authority. Precedents like the Ker-Frisbie doctrine and United States v. Alvarez-Machain. DOJ opinions (including one by Bill Barr) affirming presidential power to authorize such actions. Anticipated legal challenges include head-of-state immunity and UN Charter arguments. Future Implications (WATCH HERE: Is Cuba Ready to Fall?) There will be geopolitical ripple effects in Latin America, especially Cuba and Colombia. Avoiding prolonged U.S. military occupation in Venezuela is key Discussion of possible democratic elections and leadership changes in Venezuela. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Bill Barr's deposition before Congress on Jeffrey Epstein was a masterclass in calculated deflection. While Barr insisted that Epstein's death was “absolutely” suicide, he conceded that the prison surveillance system had “blind spots”—a detail that conveniently leaves just enough room for speculation without providing definitive answers. His reliance on flawed or incomplete camera footage, combined with his dismissal of alternative forensic perspectives, came off less like transparency and more like institutional damage control. Instead of holding the Bureau of Prisons accountable, Barr's narrative positioned the failures as unfortunate but inconsequential, a stance that fails to satisfy the public demand for clarity.Just as troubling was Barr's evasiveness when pressed about Donald Trump's knowledge of Epstein.

My mind was rarin' to go again today, but the rest of me wasn't having it. The smart thing to do was to use the Black Hole Week down time to answer a question the last couple of re-runs might have put you in mind of: What the hell did KITM sound like on January 7, 2026? Well, now you'll know! And if you'd like a preview, here's Scott Anderson's summary of that fateful day… after the actual fateful day. David Waldman, broadcasting from the center of our vast KITM World Headquarters, phones Greg Dworkin down in the laundry room, to discuss all that happened yesterday: Did you read my summary yesterday? No? Well, I don't blame you. Yesterday was pretty crazy. Yesterday, I was certain Trumpers would be no challenge to Capitol police. The day before, I thought even the idea of an assault on the House chamber to be an outlandish joke. Imagine my surprise to find attitudes change so quickly. Otherwise, it wasn't much of a surprise. The forces of white entitlement, white supremacy and white lunacy amassed in DC, and statehouses across the country. Some of the assembled mob believed they were literally going to war. A few of them might have been surprised on all what that entails, but plenty sure as hell knew what they were doing. The rioters might have looked like jokes but they weren't joking, and everyone knew it. Rudy Giuliani tried to subvert the will of the people, but called the wrong Senator. Violent insurrection is what Donald Trump wanted. He already goaded a mob to seize the capitol in Lansing, Michigan, and he used social media to attempt a coup. He and the gang are being deplatformed 5 years too late, and it's not nearly enough anymore. William Barr, Mick Mulvaney, along with several others of the Trump administration, many Republicans, and all the other presidents can tell you it is not enough anymore. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have called on Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. Of course, it was only yesterday that Mike got his big boy pants pulled up, so that might be a big ask. Speaking of Mike, Politico's "Congress Reporter", Kyle Cheney misspoke about a discovery that he misconstrued as Pence manipulation of the electoral count, when in fact it is a parliamentarian hero story.
In his 2025 congressional deposition, Bill Barr largely reiterated the position he has maintained since leaving office: that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and that there was no evidence of homicide or outside interference. Barr emphasized the findings of the medical examiner, the DOJ's internal reviews, and the conclusions reached by the FBI and Bureau of Prisons investigations, framing the failures at MCC as severe negligence rather than conspiracy. He acknowledged the catastrophic breakdowns in staffing, camera coverage, and supervision but resisted claims that those failures pointed to intentional misconduct. Throughout the deposition, Barr portrayed the persistence of alternative theories as driven more by public mistrust and the extraordinary nature of Epstein's crimes than by substantiated evidence uncovered during federal reviews.That explanation, however, did little to quiet long-standing skepticism surrounding Barr's narrative. Lawmakers pressed him on the speed and certainty with which he publicly declared Epstein's death a suicide, the reliance on internal investigations rather than independent inquiries, and the unresolved questions created by missing footage, altered records, and contradictory statements from jail officials. Critics noted that Epstein's unique status, political connections, and intelligence-adjacent history make the “ordinary negligence” explanation difficult for many to accept, especially given the stakes involved. The deposition ultimately underscored a central tension that has followed the case for years: Barr insists the matter is settled by evidence and procedure, while a significant portion of the public—and some members of Congress—remain unconvinced that the full truth about Epstein's death has ever been disclosed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Geoffrey Berman's exit as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York in June 2020 unfolded amid unusual public tension with the Justice Department and immediately raised red flags. Attorney General William Barr first announced that Berman was stepping down, only for Berman to respond that he had not resigned and intended to remain in office until a Senate-confirmed successor was appointed. The standoff drew national attention because of how rare it is for a sitting U.S. attorney to openly challenge an attorney general's authority. After several days of public back-and-forth, Berman ultimately agreed to leave once assurances were made that his deputy would assume the role, preserving continuity within the office. The episode was widely viewed as extraordinary and politically fraught. It underscored the sensitivity surrounding the Southern District of New York, long known for its independence and willingness to pursue powerful figures. Berman's departure immediately prompted questions about what pressures may have been at play behind the scenes.Those questions intensified because Berman's office had overseen the federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein in 2019, one of the most explosive criminal cases in decades. Although no definitive evidence has emerged showing that the Epstein case directly caused Berman's removal, the timing and context fueled speculation that ongoing or potential investigations connected to Epstein may have made the SDNY leadership inconvenient. Observers noted that Epstein's death in federal custody, unresolved questions about co-conspirators, and the political sensitivity of the case all loomed over the office at the time. Lawmakers and legal analysts questioned whether the attempt to remove Berman was part of a broader effort to exert control over an office handling politically dangerous matters. The Justice Department denied any improper motive, insisting the move was administrative. Still, the circumstances left lingering doubts. For many critics, Berman's exit became another chapter in the broader controversy surrounding Epstein and the institutions tasked with delivering accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jeffrey Epstein's time at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan was marked by extraordinary irregularities that immediately set his detention apart from that of ordinary federal inmates. After his July 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges, Epstein was placed in the Special Housing Unit, officially for his own protection, but the conditions of that confinement were riddled with contradictions. He was housed in a unit that was understaffed, plagued by malfunctioning cameras, and run by a Bureau of Prisons already under scrutiny for mismanagement. Despite being classified as a high-risk inmate due to the seriousness of the charges, his wealth, and the potential exposure of powerful associates, Epstein was repeatedly removed from standard suicide watch protocols. He was briefly placed on suicide watch after being found injured in his cell in late July, then taken off it under circumstances that were never convincingly explained, returning to a unit where basic safeguards were visibly failing.The failures at MCC culminated in Epstein's death on August 10, 2019, when he was found unresponsive in his cell, officially ruled a suicide by hanging. On the night of his death, guards assigned to check on him allegedly fell asleep and failed to perform required welfare checks, while security cameras outside his cell were either broken or produced unusable footage. His cellmate had been transferred out shortly before his death, leaving Epstein alone despite prior concerns about self-harm. The combination of staffing shortages, ignored protocols, missing or nonfunctional surveillance, and a pattern of administrative negligence created a perfect storm that has fueled widespread skepticism about the official narrative. Epstein's death at MCC did not close the case; instead, it intensified public distrust in the federal prison system and reinforced the perception that even in custody, Epstein remained surrounded by institutional failure and unanswered questions.The warden in charge of the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) at the time of Jeffrey Epstein's death, Lamine N'Diaye, was reassigned and eventually quietly retired amid ongoing scrutiny and federal investigations into the circumstances surrounding the high-profile inmate's suicide. After Epstein was found dead in August 2019, Attorney General William Barr ordered the warden removed from MCC and reassigned to a Bureau of Prisons regional office while the Department of Justice and Inspector General probed the facility's lapses. Although there were efforts within the Bureau of Prisons to move him to other posts — including as acting warden at another federal facility — those moves became entangled with the unresolved investigations, and N'Diaye ultimately stepped away from his role quietly as the inquiries continued, with little public explanation or high-profile disciplinary action.

We are thrilled to share this Special Edition COBT as our final episode of 2025. Like many of you, we have been closely watching the escalating situation in Venezuela, and we had the honor of hosting former Attorney General Bill Barr to hear his unique perspectives. Bill served twice as Attorney General, first under President George H. W. Bush from 1991 to 1993 and again under President Donald Trump from 2019 to 2020. He is the author of “One Damn Thing After Another” and has held senior roles at Kirkland & Ellis and Verizon. He earned his law degree from George Washington University and studied Government and Chinese Studies at Columbia. Bill is currently a Partner at Torridon Group. It was our pleasure to visit with Bill and hear his insights on the latest developments in Venezuela. In our conversation, we explore the current Venezuela crisis and U.S. military buildup, why Bill welcomes the Trump Administration's response, and why he sees Venezuela as both a national security threat and humanitarian crisis. Bill outlines narco-terrorism versus traditional organized crime, how cartels use drugs as a weapon against the U.S., and why he views Venezuela as a strategic adversary with deep ties to Russia, China, Cuba, Iran, and Hezbollah. He explains why domestic-style law enforcement doesn't work inside hostile foreign territory and walks through the long-standing U.S. doctrine of acting when foreign states are “unable or unwilling” to deal with threats to the U.S. in their territory. We discuss lessons from U.S. action in Panama, stopping short in Iraq after Gulf War I, what “if you break it, you own it” means for Venezuela, why Venezuela is the focus now, versus Mexico and others, the role of Russia and China in Venezuela, and how renewed enforcement pressure on sanctioned tankers and oil flows can further squeeze the regime. We cover the effectiveness and limits of sanctions and the emerging quasi-blockade, how the President should think about escalation from a legal and constitutional perspective, Maduro's options and potential off-ramps, the case for swift, decisive action, how failed regimes drive refugee crises that put pressure on U.S. borders, the potential collateral benefits for Venezuela and the broader region if things go well, and much more. As always, we appreciate hearing Bill's perspectives. It was a fascinating conversation. Mike Bradley kicked us off by noting that Thursday's November CPI report printed much lower than expected, which lifted bonds and equities. On the electricity market front, he highlighted that the PJM Capacity Auction for 2027-2028 resulted in a record price ($333 per megawatt day). The more concerning takeaway, however, was that PJM did not obtain enough capacity to meet future reliability requirements. In energy news, Mike noted that Meg O'Neill, current CEO of Woodside Energy, has accepted the CEO role at BP PLC. On the oil market front, he observed that WTI price appears to have temporarily stabilized in the $56-$57/bbl range. Oil markets continue to be overly concerned with a “perceived” oil supply price glut in 2026, and at the current WTI strip price (mid-$50s/bbl), 2026 E&P budgets will be negatively impacted when they report in the coming months. He wrapped by walking through Venezuela's past/present oil production (under both the Chávez and Maduro administrations) and the severe economic damage that's been inflicted under the Maduro presidency. Arjun Murti built on Mike's comments and reflected on Venezuela's oil industry in the 1990s, when international oil companies partnered with PDVSA to develop the country's vast heavy-oil resources under favorable fiscal terms and strong technical collaboration. He contrasted that period with the deterioration that followed under Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro, as contract terms were tightened and assets were eventually nationalized, contributing to the collapse of Venezuela's oil sector and the country's

Send us a textSo the whole Bravo community is in a tizzy because Bronwyn Newport has separated from Todd Bradley, but wait until you hear what I discovered in court documents going back years that changes everything about what we've been watching on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I'm revealing the real timeline of their relationship and why I believe she needed him for casting in the first place, plus the shocking reason the separation was announced NOW of all times. We're also diving into Lisa Barlow's swollen ankles that had fans worried - she finally explains what's really going on with her health on Jeff Lewis' show, and I'm sharing major behind-the-scenes tea about why the entire RHOSLC cast actually feels about Lisa that will completely change how you watch the show. Then we get into the Greece trip S6 Ep 17 drama where Heather Gay tries to shut down the Cartier watch fight in the most Heather way possible, Whitney Rose nearly falls off a mountain, and Meredith Marks faces an ambush dinner that reveals what might be the REAL reason Whitney and Heather have formed this alliance against her - and it connects back to the Alibaba tea that was spilled about Whitney's business. You won't believe which housewife might have actually been behind leaking that information and how they manipulated the narrative. Plus I'm breaking down Mary Cosby calling out Meredith for her disengaged behavior and whether this is Meredith's new strategy to avoid being pinned down on camera. THEN we transition into Miss Universe chaos Part 2 with Princess Sammy where we learn that both Anne Jakrajutatip and Raul Rocha Cantú have FLED their countries, there are 13 arrest warrants issued, and I'm revealing the money laundering schemes involving everything from skincare to water bottles. Sammy answers YOUR QUESTIONS. Will Princess Sammy BUY IT?! Sammy exposes which Miss Universe winner had guns held to her head and received death threats throughout her reign, the Miss USA scandals involving Crystal Stewart and Layla Rose, and why Sammy believes Anne might end up as a fish taco. We also get into 50 Cent's "Diddy: The Reckoning" docuseries and my theory about how 50 Cent got that privileged attorney footage - could Daphne Joy be involved? Plus we discuss the Trump/Epstein connection theories, what Epstein really said about Trump in those Michael Wolff recordings, whether Bill Barr baited Epstein back to the US, and why the prosecution struggled with Cassie's testimony in the Diddy case.

Welcome to the Gaslit Nation Trump-Epstein Super Special, where we dig into the 15-year friendship between convicted felon, traitor, and alleged pedophile Donald Trump and confirmed pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. We saved this episode for October 30th – Ivanka's birthday – to remind her and Jared they'll never install her as president. America will be liberated from elite criminal impunity, and we will never forget. Our government, our Supreme Court, our Congress, and too many of our so-called leaders have been hijacked by an elite network of predators – a real-life QAnon hiding behind weaponized conspiracy theories. Everything else is just distraction. For decades, Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – his partner in crime and notorious socialite photobomber – collected billionaires, politicians, and power brokers across industries. They believed they'd never face justice because their criminal club protected them in a global kompromat operation tied to Russia and Israel. They had friends in high places like Alex Acosta and GOP cover-up king Bill Barr. The powerful names exposed by Epstein's victims all swear they "had no idea," even though Epstein had been a registered sex offender since 2008. And yet, the Epstein files remain sealed. The same institutions that can track your phone and your email somehow can't unseal a few court documents or convince MAGA to re-open our government. Curious, isn't it? History reminds us: the truth is unstoppable. The Epstein files are just the tip of the iceberg. The public will know the full horrors of Trump's violent crimes. We won't let his deliberately engineered scandals to cover-up his crimes distract us – we demand accountability, we demand justice and solidarity for the victims. Because the real conspiracy isn't a pizza parlor in D.C – it's the silence protecting the predators in power.
