Brace yourselves. This episode is chock-full of post-reconstruction politics. Boy, is it grim! And also a little… relevant? (Ew!) As South Carolina politics turned on its head, Robert Smalls emerged as one of the few Republican politicians still able to hold his seat. Unfortunately, Smalls' influence and popularity put a target on his back. Soon, his political opponents ensured that he was charged with bribery. The trial was an absolute mess. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Billingsley, Andrew. Yearning to Breathe Free: Robert Smalls of South Carolina and His Families.

In this episode of Lawyer Talk, I am breaking down a hot topic: the Supreme Court case, Snyder vs United States, and a listener's big question on bribery. Ever wondered what really counts as a bribe? Or how gratuities fit into the whole mix? I am here to clear up the confusion and make sense of it all, without diving into the political rabbit hole. I talk about how the law defines bribery and why sometimes things aren't as straightforward as they seem. https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/snyder-v-united-states/Here are some key takeaways from the discussion:Bribery vs. Gratuity: Understand the critical distinctions between a bribe (an influencing payment made before an action) and a gratuity (a gesture of gratitude after an action). The nuances are vital for legal definitions.Statutory Interpretation: The importance of accurately interpreting the law is highlighted. In Snyder vs. U.S., the Supreme Court ruled that the conduct didn't fit the statutory definition of bribery under federal law, emphasizing the consequences of prosecutorial decisions.Rigorous Ethics Compliance: The conversation sheds light on how strict ethics rules are, especially in legal and government spheres, prohibiting even small gestures like buying a Coke for a public official.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

[WEEKEND RECAP 03-08-25] I regaled friends over the weekend with stories about my life. An uncompromising life where I know that my integrity cost me millions of dollars. And while at times the financial impact hurt, and possibly would have devastated others, I held fast to the fact that I did not compromise my integrity, and that I know there is a loving, living God who would see me through. Why do you think the first thing Leftists attempt to do is to destroy a man's integrity.In Gladiator, the one slaves says to Maximus, before he can kill you, he must kill your good name. Donald Trump took a bullet for America… Ponzi schemes are illegal unless they are run by the government Bribery is illegal unless it is called “government lobbying” Insider trading is illegal unless you are in CongressBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Joe and Alex discuss how everything you've probably read about this week was a distraction from Trump's endgame. We all have to pay very, very close attention to what's happening behind the curtain. Why Trump's crypto capture scheme could be the biggest story in our lifetimes. And how social media is quickly becoming an arm of the state. TikTok, X, and now even Facebook... and why in the face of all Trump's distractions this week and beyond, Joe explains why we have to be more vigilant than ever. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is stepping up its efforts to destroy a religious group in America that it sees as a threat to its rule, according to leaked information from multiple CCP insiders.Tactics include lawfare, bomb threats, smear campaigns, impersonation attempts, and bribing U.S. officials. The Department of Justice sentenced a Chinese agent for trying to bribe an IRS agent to target practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual discipline.So what's going on exactly? And why would this be a priority for the Chinese regime?Today, I'm sitting down with Erping Zhang, president of the International Falun Dafa Association.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
For the new documentary, The Bibi Files, director Alexis Bloom uses hundreds of hours of leaked, previously unseen interrogation footage of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife Sara, his son Yair, his staff and inner circle – to trace how the corruption charges against Netanyahu and Israel's war on Gaza have converged. On this week's midweek podcast, we re-air a conversation between Brooke Gladstone and Israeli journalist Raviv Drucker, one of the main guides through The Bibi Files, to discuss his role in the documentary and how Netanyahu's corruption cases act as the “engine” that drives the wider conflict in the region.
