Federal prosecutors have reportedly issued subpoenas to multiple Philadelphia agencies in the Ellen Greenberg case—and they're not looking at whether Ellen was murdered. They're looking at whether the officials who handled her case broke federal law.Ellen Greenberg died in 2011 with twenty stab wounds, including ten to the back of her neck. The medical examiner ruled it homicide. Police pushed back. The ruling changed to suicide. For fifteen years, her parents have fought every agency in Pennsylvania to get answers. Every agency told them the same thing: their daughter killed herself by stabbing herself in the back of the neck ten times.Now the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is asking questions. Sources say the investigation centers on the Philadelphia Police Department, the Medical Examiner's Office, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office—which was run by current Governor Josh Shapiro when the case sat there for four years.The timeline is damning. The crime scene was cleaned before detectives processed it. James Schwartzman, the fiancé's uncle and a prominent judicial official, removed electronic devices before police secured a warrant. Those devices later became key evidence—despite the original report saying no suicidal content was found. Shapiro's office cited those searches as proof of suicide. Then discovered an "appearance of conflict" with the Goldberg and Schwartzman families. Four years after taking the case.If federal investigators find corruption, the statutes carry serious time. Deprivation of rights. Evidence tampering. Obstruction. Up to life in prison if the conduct contributed to a death.Someone outside Philadelphia is finally asking the questions this case has demanded for fifteen years.#EllenGreenberg #FederalProbe #JoshShapiro #PhiladelphiaCorruption #TrueCrimeToday #JamesSchwartzman #SamuelGoldberg #Subpoenas #CoverUp #JusticeForEllenJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We are living in difficult and dangerous times. The rule of law is under attack. Some of our most basic values are under attack – things like decency, civility, and diversity. Our Constitution is under attack. But through it all, we've had some remarkable, dedicated public servants who have fought mightily for the rule of law, and for accountability for those who violate our nation's laws - including when those violating the law are in our own government. Some of those dedicated public servants have decided to band together and launch a new law firm. Those individuals are Tim Heaphy, Jack Smith, David Harbach, and Thomas Windom. I recently sat down with some of the founding partners of Heaphy, Smith, Harbach, and Windom to discuss with them why they decided to launch this new endeavor.

01/16/26: Mac Schneider served as the US Attorney for the District of North Dakota, and while working as an attorney in private practice, he also represented Grand Forks’ District 42 in the North Dakota Senate from 2008 to 2016. At least six career prosecutors in the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney's office — including Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson — have resigned as the office continues to face pressure to treat the investigation of the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer as an assault on a federal officer case.

More than twenty years after federal prosecutor Jonathan Luna was found dead in a Pennsylvania creek with more than 30 stab wounds, new evidence is finally shedding light on one of the most baffling unsolved cases in the region. Luna, a rising attorney in Baltimore's U.S. Attorney's Office, disappeared after a late-night departure from a downtown parking garage and embarked on a strange, circuitous drive across multiple states. His body was discovered hours later, submerged beside his car, in what the coroner ruled a homicide—yet no suspects were ever identified, and early attempts to frame his death as self-inflicted only deepened public skepticism.This episode examines the newly released autopsy report—kept secret for over two decades and obtained only after a long legal battle by Lancaster Online—and what it reveals about Luna's final hours. We also revisit Stephen Janis's original reporting on the case during his years at The Baltimore Examiner, exploring how these new findings align with or challenge what he uncovered at the time. Together, we break down the facts, the unanswered questions, and why this mysterious death still haunts the corridors of federal law enforcement today.

Federal Prosecutors had evidence that former FBI director James Comey authorized leaks of classified intel to reporters but chose NOT TO BRING criminal charges. Now Operation Arctic Fox has been criminally referred to Pam Bondi and Kash Patel for investigation and prosecution. Whistleblowers confirm there was a criminal conspiracy among the Biden White House, the FBI's Washington Field Office, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., and Special Prosecutor Jack Smith — to plan, approve, and execute Operation Arctic Frost with the intent to frame, arrest, prosecute, and imprison Donald J. Trump, thereby attempting to overthrow the constitutional republic of the United States.
Attorney General Pam Bondi directed her staff Monday to act on the criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard related to the alleged conspiracy to tie President Donald Trump to Russia, and the Department of Justice is now opening a grand jury investigation into the matter. Bondi ordered an unnamed federal prosecutor to initiate legal proceedings, and the prosecutor is expected to present department evidence to a grand jury to secure a potential indictment. This all comes as Gov Greg Abbott is bringing criminal charges against democrat legislators who fled Texas to avoid a vote on congressional districting.Sponsor:My PillowWww.MyPillow.com/johnSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A photo was taken of 18-year-old Debanhi Escobar in the early morning hours of April 9th, 2022, on the side of a highway near Monterrey, Nuevo León, in Mexico. She was dressed for a night out, standing in the dark, far from where she was supposed to be. The photo taken of her that night would become one of the most widely circulated images in the country. But what happened before that moment and what followed has raised more questions than answers. In this episode, we retrace Debanhi's final known movements, examine the gaps in the timeline, and explore how her case sparked a national reckoning.

Laura Richards and co-host Lisa Bilyeu are joined by former CIA spy and intelligence expert Andrew Bustamante to unpack the complex web of evidence, abuse, and control unfolding in the Sean “Diddy” trial. Laura, Lisa and Andrew explore the charges against Combs including that Combs abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, in comparison with particular testimonies including Regina Ventura, Cassie's mother, Dawn Richard, Kerry Morgan, "The Punisher” and Kid Cudi. Laura highlights how abusers weaponise fear and power to maintain control, and how those in their orbit enable the abuse—whether through silence or active participation. Andrew brings a spy's lens to the case, analyzing Diddy's tactics through the eyes of a trained operative—making powerful connections between psychological warfare and public manipulation. This isn't just about Sean Combs and Cassie Ventura. It's bigger than that. It's about a systemic failure to protect women and girls—and what must change. Listen now. Share it widely.
