Mea Culpa welcomes our ole friend, Joe Trippi, heralded on the cover of The New Republic as the man who “reinvented campaigning,” Trippi pioneered bringing politics into the digital age. Most recently, he's brought his campaign savvy to the Lincoln Project where he serves as a senior advisor. With Trump a target of Federal Prosecutors and State DAs, Trippi is targeting the MAGA machine that continues to prop up divisive politics. Lately, his scorn is being directed at Ron DeSantis, who the GOP hoped to dress up as a more palatable Donald Trump but instead got a zombie hall monitor with a mean streak. You can listen to Joe's podcast, “That Trippi Show,” everywhere podcasts are found or see him on MSNBC, CNN and NBC. Today we'll go into all things Trump indictment but also look at how the GOP has lost an entire generation of voters as it clings to the poisonous politics of its MAGA base.

The ability to control your body and when, how, and if you get pregnant and raise children is a fundamental freedom that should be recognized by the law. Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward, sits down to talk with us about the direct connection between the opportunities and support that women and girls have and the strengths of democracies, and how the U.S. (among other countries) is clearly experiencing a democratic backslide.The FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Act was passed in the early 1990s with bipartisan support. The law was put in place to address a surge in violence and harassment, targeting, and blockading of reproductive health care clinics. The Trump administration has consistently misrepresented and threatened the FACE Act, including going after litigators who prosecuted under FACE Act violations. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has put together a 900-page report intended to discredit prosecutors and civil servants and to create a narrative to justify those facing being fired by the department.For more information, check out Boom!

Why Did Federal Prosecutors File Zero Charges After Operation Tidal Wave?

Operation Tidal Wave was a coordinated federal action in which CBP and HSI agents boarded eight cruise ships docked in San Diego and detained 27 crew members allegedly connected to CSAM — child sexual abuse material — based on intelligence provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Agents had identified targets before the vessels arrived. Ten reportedly served aboard the Disney Magic. Four were employed by Holland America. All 27 were deported within approximately two weeks. KPBS confirmed that as of their reporting, federal prosecutors in both the Southern District of California and the Central District of California had no record of charges filed against any of the detained crew.The absence of prosecution raises a procedural question with systemic implications: if deportation without criminal proceedings is the default federal response, no public record is created, no registry entry is generated, and no mechanism exists to prevent the same individuals from being rehired through the same third-party agencies that placed them originally.The prosecuted cases across the industry illustrate what the screening system is failing to catch. A Royal Caribbean cabin attendant was sentenced to 30 years after pleading guilty to placing hidden recording devices in passenger cabins — families with passengers as young as two were among those secretly recorded. A Celebrity Cruises youth program counselor allegedly went undetected for four months while deliberately avoiding security cameras, according to an FBI affidavit. A 6-year-old passenger was the one who reported it. Two Princess Cruises employees received a combined 45 years for pursuing a teenager and exchanging illegal material involving very young children. Three crew members were charged aboard the same Disney vessel within a two-month window.Cruise Law News reports approximately 200 crew accused within roughly two years. Federal court filings and DOJ records document the same structural pattern across Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Carnival, and Holland America: international hiring through third-party staffing agencies with limited background verification and no industry-wide shared registry.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In 2019, federal prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York asked New Mexico authorities to stop their own sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's sprawling Zorro Ranch, located south of Santa Fe, in an effort to avoid potential conflicts with the federal case and the risk of “inconsistent statements” from parallel investigations. At the time, then-New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas agreed to pause the state probe and share investigative materials — including police reports and witness interviews — with the federal team, with the understanding that federal prosecutors would provide information back that could support potential state charges. However, Balderas has since said he is unaware of any substantial information ever being shared back to New Mexico that could have led to prosecutions at the state level before Epstein's death in August 2019.The now-released correspondence shows that the federal request effectively “gutted” New Mexico's investigation, and Balderas has described the cooperation as essentially one-way. Records also reveal he urged federal authorities to seize the ranch and offered assistance to execute warrants, but received no response, and none of the material New Mexico sent appears among the files released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. In light of the newly disclosed DOJ records, current New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has announced that the state is reopening its investigation into alleged trafficking at Zorro Ranch, and a bipartisan legislative truth-finding commission has been formed to subpoena witnesses and gather testimony as part of renewed scrutiny of activities tied to Epstein's former property.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records showBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Thousands of federal prosecutors have been fired or have resigned from their roles since Pam Bondi took over as Attorney General. She has made no secret of weaponizing the Justice Department to pursue Donald Trump's vendettas. One of those prosecutors is Troy Edwards, who quit a senior national-security position in the Eastern District of Virginia. As an assistant U.S. attorney in DC, Edwardshad won convictions against members of the Oath Keepers for January 6th-related offenses. Edwards is also the son-in-law of the former F.B.I. director James Comey, and, when the Justice Department indicted Comey on grounds widely seen as flimsy, Edwards knew he had reached his red line. (The charges were quickly dismissed, though without prejudice.) The New Yorker's legal correspondent Ruth Marcus talks with Edwards about his decision to leave, how he broke it to his family, and why he thinks other prosecutors should not follow his lead.  Further reading:  “Pam Bondi's Contempt for Congress,” by Ruth Marcus “The Flimsy, Dangerous Indictment of James Comey,” by Ruth Marcus “Pam Bondi's Power Play,” by Ruth Marcus   New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

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?

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.

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.
