Donald Trump has been raging at Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for Washington, DC, because she dropped those high-profile prosecutions for alleged vandalism of his Reflecting Pool renovation. That pressure is corrupt on its own. But new leaks are making it look even worse. CBS News reports that Pirro actually carried a box of evidence to the White House showing that the facts simply didn't support those prosecutions. The meeting got “heated,” per CBS, seemingly meaning Trump wanted prosecutions in spite of what the facts and the law said. Meanwhile, we just learned this fiasco triggered private “tirades” from Trump, further underscoring his quest for lawless prosecutions. We talked to former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade, author of The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government. She walks us through just how deeply irregular this presidential conduct truly is, discusses what has been lost at DOJ, and reflects on how a Democratic House and/or Senate can rein in all this madness next year.

Forget contempt of Congress. Anthony Fauci should be charged with the murders of more than 15 million people. And it's his own words that lead us to that imperative. We read Rand Paul's official charges sent to the DOJ and ask the question: Did the good doctor's opening monologue before invoking the Fifth 111 times partially waive his Fifth Amendment privilege? That's the million dollar question. Plus the dastardly mashup of Fauci then and now... the flip flopping... the lies... the bastardization of science. Listen and decide for yourself: Who CAN you trust?  

After a victory for Colorado voters, the DOJ is now 0-20 in the voter roll cases -- and we are winning. In this episode, Marc Elias breaks down the Trump administration's yearlong effort to build a national voter database, why federal judges (including eight appointed by Trump) have unanimously rejected the DOJ's demands, and why today's 90-day "quiet period" deadline may have shut the door on Trump's scheme just in time for the midterms.

Host Brian Karem is joined by national security expert Mark S. Zaid and journalism professor Dr. Nolan Higdon to break down the biggest news of the week. • Trump's claims regarding cyberattacks on US water systems across 7 states. • The DOJ dropping charges against the Olympic canoeist in the D.C. Reflecting Pool controversy. • The Senate standoff over Todd Blanche and threats to revive the J6 weaponization fund. • Shocking new polls: The death of the political center and the rise of Democratic Socialism. • Pentagon warnings over dwindling interceptor missile stockpiles in the Middle East. • Lighthearted wrap-up: SDCC, cosplay, and pop culture nostalgia.

Todd Blanche gave up $1.8 billion to get confirmed as Attorney General. He kept the part that shields Donald Trump's tax returns — and the part that lets him decide what you see of the Epstein files.Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner and Epstein files investigator Ellie Leonard joined me live the morning the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Blanche's nomination. What they laid out is worse than the headlines.Glenn's verdict on what Blanche actually surrendered to flip Senators Cornyn and Tillis: "That would be exactly nothing." Ellie went inside the in-camera hearing where Blanche had to justify ten redactions to a federal judge, and explains why his answers are what she calls "tapioca pudding."And we get into the question nobody in corporate media is asking: after hundreds of judicial rebukes, four lawyers referred for discipline over the IRS settlement alone, and a Justice Department now suing bar associations to protect its own — will a single one of these attorneys ever face a real consequence?CHAPTERS0:00 The Senate just cleared Todd Blanche's path to Attorney General2:45 Glenn Kirschner: what did Blanche give away?

That mechanism is the Comstock Act, an 1873 federal anti-obscenity statute that criminalized mailing contraceptives and abortion-related materials. It has gone unenforced for a century but remains on the books. Hawk walks through how, per the call, Blanche pledged to stop physicians in states where abortion is legal from mailing medication to patients in states that have banned it, and argues the Comstock Act is the only existing statutory tool that would let him attempt it. He lays out the stakes: of roughly 1.1 million abortions in the US last year, about 65 percent were medication abortions, meaning several hundred thousand a year could be affected. Hawk notes the call was hosted by the White House Faith Office, recorded by the group Intercessors for America, and included a request for journalists to hang up. Senator Richard Blumenthal raised it before the committee vote, calling Blanche a zealot seeking to advance the president's position against reproductive rights. Hawk closes on what a nationwide effort against mailed medication, and potentially contraception, could mean.

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastOnce the gold standard of American aviation, Boeing built its reputation on a simple promise: "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going." In this compilation, the guys trace how that promise unraveled — from the Wright Brothers' first 120-foot flight in 1903 to a company now facing federal fraud charges, congressional testimony, and a body count that refuses to stay in the "coincidence" column.The crew digs into Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas and the culture shift that followed, the 737 MAX's MCAS system and the two crashes that grounded a fleet worldwide, and the DOJ settlement that left victims' families fighting over scraps while executives walked away with golden parachutes. Then there's the door. The infamous mid-air blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight that sent the story right back into the headlines — and right back to a familiar name.At the center of it all is John Barnett, a 28-year Boeing quality inspector turned whistleblower, found dead in his truck mid-testimony against the company he spent decades defending. Add in a second whistleblower, Joshua Dean, gone under equally strange circumstances just weeks later, and the guys lay out every angle — corporate negligence, cover-up, and yes, the theory that somebody wanted these men silenced for good.Is this simply a case of a company too big to face real consequences? Or is something darker keeping the truth grounded? Buckle up — literally — for this one.Originally recorded in two parts in August 2024.

In this Rewind episode, listen as Dr. David J. Johns discusses voting and our rights under attack.The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is gone. Not weakened. Not under threat. Gone. The legal architecture that turned 7% Black voter registration in Mississippi into 60%—dismantled, decision by decision, by a Supreme Court that was never neutral and was never on our side.But that's not even the whole story. Because while the courts were killing the VRA, the Justice Department was being turned into a weapon. FBI agents raided a Black state senator's office mid-day—Fox News already on the scene—while allies under federal investigation had their evidence destroyed. Ballots from Fulton County are in federal custody. Arizona. Michigan. They are building the architecture of election interference before the midterms. In public. And most people don't even know it's happening.This episode is about all of it. The Proud Boys as a militia. The Roberts Court as an antidemocratic enforcement mechanism. The Southern Strategy, sixty years old and running on steroids.

Andrew is flying solo today. He's got three stories about the petty incompetence of this administration. First, we start off with the likely impending confirmation of Todd Blanche as Attorney General after the DOJ finally put in writing that the $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization" slush fund is dead. The Trump tax giveaway is still alive, though, and that means so is Judge Williams's investigation as to whether the President committed a fraud on the court.   Next, we delve into the unraveling of DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro's ham-handed efforts to try and indict a former Olympian for vandalizing the Reflecting Pool in Washington. Turns out, the problem was the contractor all along. Who knew? (We all knew, including Pirro.)   Finally, we take a look at a trio of motions filed by James Comey in his criminal case, all of which involve the central claim that the mafia uses the term "86" to mean "kill." Turns out, Comey secured an affidavit from the world's foremost expert on mafia code words, and he thinks that argument is "preposterous." How do all of these fundamental mistakes keep making their way into criminal indictments? Comey is the latest defendant who thinks prosecutors may not have been entirely candid with grand juries.

The Justice Department has still not turned over the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein records requested by New Mexico investigators, missing a July 31 deadline imposed by state Attorney General Raúl Torrez. New Mexico reopened its criminal investigation into allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking at Epstein's Zorro Ranch earlier this year, but the federal government has provided only 31 pages of largely useless material, including heavily redacted records, previously public documents and photocopies of local news reports. Torrez says the withheld files potentially contain the identities of survivors, witnesses, co-conspirators and other individuals who could help investigators determine what crimes occurred at the ranch and whether anyone can still be prosecuted.The standoff is especially troubling because New Mexico says it suspended its original investigation in 2019 after reaching an agreement with the Southern District of New York, which was supposed to share evidence gathered during the federal Epstein investigation. State officials now say the federal government never honored that commitment. Although the DOJ argues that federal law, court orders and privacy protections prevent it from releasing millions of unredacted documents, New Mexico maintains that prosecutors could seek modifications to protective orders and securely provide the relevant evidence to state law enforcement. Torrez has accused the department of obstructing the investigation and has left open the possibility of taking legal action to force the federal government to cooperate.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:

Hawk reiterates his contract-law argument from his prior videos. The two documents Blanche released to satisfy John Cornyn and Thom Tillis do not modify the underlying settlement, because its own terms require any change to be signed by all parties, and one document is unsigned while the other carries only Blanche's signature. In Hawk's reading, Trump could still sue to reestablish the roughly 1.78 billion dollar fund after confirmation. He then answers Tillis's both-sides framing directly, pointing to Trump's 34 felony convictions, the civil fraud judgment, the Carroll verdict, the second Comey indictment, the attempted prosecutions of Letitia James and others, and the dismissed reflecting pool case. Hawk argues the record shows a Justice Department being reshaped to target the president's opponents, and he is candid about his alarm at what a confirmed Blanche means.

Hawk walks through the reporting. It describes a July 2025 Situation Room meeting, chaired by Vice President JD Vance and attended by senior officials, convened to figure out how to respond as the story divided the MAGA base. The article recounts the strategy debate, from petitioning courts to unseal grand jury transcripts to the eventual Truth Social post, alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi's on-camera claim that a client list was on her desk and the later influencer binder rollout that backfired. Hawk connects it to Blanche's central role: interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell over two days before her transfer, being briefed on the review, and telling the president there was nothing substantive. He notes Bondi testified she delegated the Epstein matter to Blanche, argues the record should have factored into the confirmation, and reminds viewers Blanche was Trump's defense attorney in the New York case that ended in 34 felony convictions.

Donald Trump unleashed an epic tirade at Senator John Cornyn for blocking his IRS lawsuit settlement slush fund, which would let Trump reward allies and grants the Trumps a form of tax immunity. Cornyn is holding up the nomination of Todd Blanche as attorney general until it's killed. Trump gloated that he'd endorsed Cornyn's victorious primary opponent and seethed that the American people want him to have this corrupt fund. In response, another foe, Senator Thom Tillis, landed a hard blow, asserting that Trump's rage over the fund is exactly why it must be killed. Humiliatingly, Tillis treated Trump like a toddler who must be told, “no.” Plus, a defeat would show that Trump's license to corrupt DOJ is not limitless. (Underscoring this humiliation, after we recorded Trump petulantly exploded again, saying he absolutely will have his fund.) We talked to New Republic staff writer Emma Janssen, author of our great new politics newsletter all about Democrats, The TNR Blue Book, which you should subscribe to, folks! We discuss her installment on how Dems are exploiting these splits, the deeper reasons for them, and how they reveal Trump's diminishing power more broadly.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Explosive new entries from Anthony Fauci's private diary have surfaced, revealing mind-blowing truths about COVID-19 policies!

Newly released FBI records showed that, days after a July 2025 White House Situation Room meeting about the escalating Epstein controversy, FBI Director Kash Patel asked for information about sensitive material uncovered during the bureau's review. An FBI official responded with spreadsheets labeled “Flagged Items Lists,” which reportedly included references to public figures, potentially classified information and possible child sexual abuse material. The documents indicated that FBI reviewers had been instructed by the Justice Department to flag such material for discussion with DOJ attorneys while records were being processed and redacted. Todd Blanche, then serving as deputy attorney general, was identified as the senior Justice Department official overseeing the effort.The internal communications appeared to conflict with the Justice Department and FBI's public statement issued two weeks earlier, which said their exhaustive review had uncovered no evidence warranting investigations of additional uncharged people. The flagged material had reportedly been delivered to the Justice Department months before that declaration, raising questions about how quickly officials decided to close the matter and whether potentially significant leads received adequate scrutiny. The existence of prominent names in investigative records did not establish criminal wrongdoing, and flagged material could include unverified tips or incidental references, but the timing and apparent disparity between the private review and the government's public conclusions fueled suspicions that the department was rushing to shut down further examination of Epstein's powerful associatesto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Scrambling DOJ rushed to shut Epstein case as 'flag list' surfaced big names: new docs - Raw Story

The Justice Department delivered the disputed Jeffrey Epstein materials to U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan at the edge of the court-imposed deadline, complying only after Sullivan ordered the government to provide less-redacted records or justify why the information should remain concealed. The material included emails involving Epstein, names removed from a draft indictment, references to possible co-conspirators and underlying FBI interview records. Sullivan issued the order in journalist Katie Phang's lawsuit challenging the DOJ's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, after concluding that the department had failed to meaningfully answer several of her arguments and had already missed an earlier deadline.Although the last-minute submission technically placed the requested material before the court, it did not make the records immediately available to Phang or the public. Sullivan would still have to review the documents and determine whether the DOJ's redactions and withholding claims were legally justified. The timing reinforced criticism that the department was treating disclosure as something to resist until compelled, rather than an obligation to fulfill promptly. After months of delayed releases, incomplete explanations and litigation over the redactions, handing the records over at the deadline looked less like voluntary transparency and more like reluctant compliance under direct judicial pressure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Blanche surrenders unredacted Epstein files within minutes of judge's deadline - Alternet.org

The reason is basic contract law. The underlying document is a settlement agreement in Trump versus IRS, signed in May by the Trump plaintiffs, the Department of Justice, and the IRS commissioner. Section eight of that agreement states it may be modified only with the written agreement of all parties. The two documents Blanche released today rescind a related DOJ order, but one is unsigned entirely and the other carries only Blanche's signature, not the Trump attorneys or the IRS. Under the four corners of the contract, Hawk argues, neither touches the settlement, which remains fully enforceable. His conclusion is pointed. Because the settlement is intact, Hawk contends Trump could sue the government to compel the fund the day after Blanche is confirmed and would win. He credits MSNBC's Ken Dilanian and CNN's Elie Honig as the only two commentators he saw get it right, and argues Cornyn and Tillis are advancing the nomination on the strength of paperwork that carries no legal weight.

Competition law isn't just for antitrust lawyers anymore—it's increasingly a boardroom issue. What questions should directors be asking to ensure their companies are identifying and managing competition risk before it becomes a crisis? Julie Goshorn, whose career spans the DOJ, FTC, private practice at Arnold & Porter, and global in-house leadership at Visa, speaks with Jeny Maier and Anora Wang about why corporate boards should view antitrust as an enterprise risk alongside cybersecurity, financial controls, and compliance. Listen to this episode to learn about the board's oversight role, lessons from recent Delaware fiduciary duty cases, and the practical questions every director should be asking to help protect long-term enterprise value.

Jon Herold opens birthday week with Trump's back and forth Truth Social posts on Iran, alternating between canceling a planned strike and blasting Tehran as duplicitous, while poking fun at how many times the administration has claimed victory in the conflict. He digs into a Michigan cyclospora outbreak, weighs in on the ongoing General Flynn controversy over foreign lobbying payments while urging listeners not to get emotionally attached to online drama, and covers Cornyn and Tillis finally backing Todd Blanche's confirmation after the DOJ rescinded its anti weaponization fund. Other stories include a DOJ subpoena targeting a reporter over a leaked Navy SEAL mission, SpaceX's rocky post IPO stock slide, the national debt closing in on 40 trillion, and a look back at author Annie Jacobson's devolution book making mainstream waves. Sponsor reads, meetup details, and a lively chat session round out a busy Monday show.

The Justice Department has still not turned over the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein records requested by New Mexico investigators, missing a July 31 deadline imposed by state Attorney General Raúl Torrez. New Mexico reopened its criminal investigation into allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking at Epstein's Zorro Ranch earlier this year, but the federal government has provided only 31 pages of largely useless material, including heavily redacted records, previously public documents and photocopies of local news reports. Torrez says the withheld files potentially contain the identities of survivors, witnesses, co-conspirators and other individuals who could help investigators determine what crimes occurred at the ranch and whether anyone can still be prosecuted.The standoff is especially troubling because New Mexico says it suspended its original investigation in 2019 after reaching an agreement with the Southern District of New York, which was supposed to share evidence gathered during the federal Epstein investigation. State officials now say the federal government never honored that commitment. Although the DOJ argues that federal law, court orders and privacy protections prevent it from releasing millions of unredacted documents, New Mexico maintains that prosecutors could seek modifications to protective orders and securely provide the relevant evidence to state law enforcement. Torrez has accused the department of obstructing the investigation and has left open the possibility of taking legal action to force the federal government to cooperate.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

August 1, 2026The Department of Justice moved to dismiss the criminal charges against David Hearn, who was indicted for vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, The filing says the damage was due to faulty installation by the contractor, a firm that was hired on a no-bid basis, The project had issues from the start, from algae blooming the day after the reservoir was filled with water to the blue epoxy which began peeling off the bottom of the pool, Hearn was trying to see what the detached material felt like but Trump immediately blamed him and others for vandalizing the pool, Jeanine Pirro, the US Attorney for DC, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum also claimed that vandals were responsible for the problems with the pool but the DOJ's filing proves this was a lie and that the restoration was a hasty, expensive, and ill-thought-out project. The government insisted the work was a success that was undercut by haters, Their story follows a familiar pattern, Trump continues to rant about the reflecting pool on social media, perhaps because he has so little to convince voters to support him.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe
