Podcasts about Grand jury

Steve Palmer sits down with Troy Hendrickson, our resident law student, for a deep dive into what law school doesn't always teach you—this time, focusing on the mysterious world of grand juries. They break down what a grand jury is, the differences between grand and trial (petit) juries, and why the standard of proof is much lower at the indictment stage than at trial.Steve and Troy use the recent Epstein case as a jumping-off point, discussing the secrecy surrounding grand jury proceedings, why those records are generally kept under wraps, and who gets to peek behind the curtain (hint: it's a very short list). They unpack the legal and historical reasons for keeping grand jury information confidential, the ongoing court battles about whether transcripts should be released for so-called 'public interest' reasons, and the potential for the Supreme Court to settle this debate once and for all.Plus, the conversation veers into attorney-client privilege, conspiracy theories about the Epstein case, and how high-profile cases influence the direction of legal rules. And, as always, they share their thoughts on what law school could do better—hint: more real-life cases, less rote memorization.Moments00:00 Probable Cause and Legal Standards03:19 Grand Jury Process Explained06:44 Memory Lapses in Consent Cases12:47 Judge Denies Release of Transcripts15:44 National Injunctions and Judicial Authority19:11 SCOTUS on Judicial Authority Limits21:35 Epstein's Suicide Theories Discussed25:48 Nixon, Pentagon Papers, Legal Precedents28:12 Beyond Law School DiscussionsHere are three key takeaways:Grand Jury Process Is Often Misunderstood: Many people—even in law school—mistake the role of a grand jury. Unlike the trial jury (“petit jury”), the grand jury's only job is to decide if there's enough evidence (probable cause) to indict, not to convict. Defense attorneys are usually kept in the dark and rarely present evidence or have the right to transcripts.Grand Jury Testimony Is Highly Confidential: The secrecy rules are strict—defense can only access transcripts upon showing a “particularized need.” The rationale goes back to witness safety, protection of ongoing investigations, and safeguarding victim identities—concerns that remain deeply relevant today.Legal Precedents Shape Access—Not Public Interest: While there's massive public interest around cases like Epstein, courts have repeatedly ruled that historical or public curiosity is not enough to override the secrecy of grand jury proceedings. Real reform, if any, must come from Congress, not the courts.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

If it's customary, it's probably not happening in this Justice Department. Starting with the latest from the Epstein controversy, Andrew and Mary unpack what to make of the two days Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche spent interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell. This, after a Florida judge denied the release of Epstein grand jury transcripts last Wednesday.And in immigration related news, three decisions came through in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia saga, just as the first claim is filed against the U.S. over one man's deportation to El Salvador without due process. Then, in an eye-popping move, Attorney General Pam Bondi's office filed a misconduct complaint against Judge James Boasberg for “making improper public comments” about the President and his administration. And before wrapping up this week, Mary and Andrew give some context to the former J6 prosecutor who's suing the administration over his abrupt firing.Further Reading: Here is the misconduct complaint filed against Judge Boasberg: Complaint Against United States District Court Chief Judge James E.

The case was reportedly brought before the United Nations' highest court by small island countries, seeking to force international standards onto larger governments. When Axios reached out to the White House Monday regarding potential penalties the United States could face, the response was direct. “As always, President Trump and the entire Administration is committed to putting America first and prioritizing the interests of everyday Americans,” Spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement. Spot on. We cannot be sucked into global affairs — and follow edicts from other countries — as we rebuild our own domestic infrastructure. Hence, Trump's move to withdraw America from the Paris Climate Accords — something he'd already done in his first term, but had to do again after former President Joe Biden reversed it. “[The ICJ case] specifically calls out the responsibility of industrialized nations to take the lead in limiting emissions,” Axios reported. Are we supposed to believe that countries like China and Russia are going to have their feet held to the fire on pollution? The target seems to be the United States. Why? Because we have far-left lawmakers willing to throw trillions of dollars at an issue that hasn't even been fully settled. First, it was “global warming” because the polar caps were melting, setting up an ice age. Then the argument shifted to temperatures getting hotter, and the phrase was switched to climate change. Every time a doomsday event was predicted, it got pushed off. “The Day After Tomorrow” never came. That's red flag number one. Red flag number two is the potential money-laundering aspect. After laundering tactics were exposed inside the USAID by Elon Musk's DOGE team, what's to stop climate change funding from being used as a personal piggy bank? During the Obama years, the firm Solyndra had the federal government cosign a loan for over $500 million in solar technology before it went under, Forbes reported. The same Forbes piece highlighted how several similar firms were given hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds, yet they all failed. Where did the money go?

July 24, 2025 ~ Michael Bullotta joins Kevin to discuss the judge that denied the request to unseal the Epstein Grand Jury Transcripts in Florida.

Pressured for transparency from all sides of the aisle, the Department of Justice made a surprising move to try and unseal grand jury materials from the Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases. Andrew and Mary discuss why this move is so shocking and what it signifies. They also look at the latest sentencing for an ex-officer involved in the 2020 raid that killed Breonna Taylor and what a trial on behalf of international students and faculty detained for pro-Palestinian activism revealed about ICE's practices. Finally, they unpack the DOJ's firing of Maurene Comey and Attorney General Pam Bondi's firing of a New Jersey attorney who replaced a long-term Trump ally.  Listener Note: This episode was recorded prior to the ruling from a Florida court that denied the requested grand jury materials in the Jeffery Epstein case. However, the DOJ's other request related to a grand jury in the Southern District of New York remains pending.Further reading:Here is the op-ed written by Rümeysa Öztürk in the Tufts Daily about her time in a women's ICE facility.Want to listen to this show without ads?

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports on the latest in the bid to make more Jeffrey Epstein records public.

Trump is reportedly frustrated at having to take the heat for Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein files. 

SEASON 3 EPISODE 147: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: We have been burying the lede here. Trump. Is. Suing. Murdoch. Trump and Murdoch are at war. Over Jeffrey Epstein. The two worst people in the country, probably the world, at each other's throats, until further notice. Weeks, months, years. Amid rumors Murdoch's people at the Wall Street Journal are upworking ANOTHER Trump-Epstein/Epstein-Trump/Trumpstein story. And that Murdoch is preparing a Defcon scenario in which he turns Fox News against Trump. Because if Trump is stupid enough to try to put Murdoch out of business, Murdoch will have no choice but to try to put Trump out of business. Trump also seems to be doing everything else he can think of to make sure the Trumpstein story never leads the headlines again. Attacks his own people again. Left a paper trail inside the DOJ and FBI of Pam Bondi searching for thousands of Trump references inside an evidence pit the size of The New York Public Library. Changing the story of the latest plot against him for the sixth time in a week. And watching the polls - 17% approve of his handling of the Epstein issue - actually get worse since just last Thursday (89% want everything, not just the almost-meaningless Grand Jury testimony, released). Oh by the way there IS a Trump Client List inside DOJ/FBI. The only part of Trump's claim that there isn't that's true, is that it may not bear that title. There's literally 40 computers, 70 CDs of video, and 300 gigabytes of data. The Trumpstein story will swamp his presidency. For sheer volume it exceeds almost everything else Trump has ever done. It makes Watergate look like the editing out of four words in a 5,000 word document. IT'S WONDERFUL. Trumpstein, Trumpstein, Trumpstein. ALSO: Trump's unpopularity has now reached 1st Term proportions. Tulsi Gabbard is conflating two Russian stories and claiming the one nobody believed (Russia tampered with voting machines) disproves the one Robert Mueller proved (Russia hacked emails and got them to Trump's campaign). How does that work? I'll explain the psychology of morons who want to please their bosses, with the story of Tennessee Ernie Williams. And if you think Trump isn't brain dead he wrote something that must've come directly from a dream about how the Cleveland Guardians (formed 1901, not named "Indians" until 1915) are one of baseball's "six original teams" (Major League Baseball started 30 years earlier; it's HOCKEY with "the original six" and that's wrong too). B-Block (39:15) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: I understand this busts the narrative and reduces our ability to suffer as martyrs, but there is one inarguable and unanswerable fact that disproves the almost-universally accepted premise that CBS cancelled Stephen Colbert solely to appease Trump. It's this: If they are silencing him, why have they decided to keep him on TV for THE NEXT TEN MONTHS? This is the Phil Donahue cancellation all over again. It works to CBS's corporate advantage to make it look like they are sucking up to the psycho. Sorry. This is the least of the reasons. C-Block (1:09:10) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: Haven't done any of his priceless stories lately, and with Trump's new permanent Trumpstein Crisis, it's fitting to do James Thurber's stunningly prophetic saga "The Greatest Man In The World."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The once-sealed grand jury documents in the Jeffrey Epstein case revealed exactly what many had long suspected—that the original charges brought in Palm Beach bore little resemblance to the overwhelming evidence collected by law enforcement. Despite police uncovering more than 30 underage victims and compiling a mountain of corroborated, disturbing testimony, the grand jury returned a single, watered-down charge of solicitation of prostitution, and not even of a minor. The documents confirmed that critical witness statements and police findings were deliberately excluded from the process, raising serious questions about whether the grand jury was ever given a fair opportunity to pursue real justice. Local prosecutors, under State Attorney Barry Krischer, appeared more interested in shielding Epstein than prosecuting him, undermining the very purpose of the grand jury by controlling what they saw and what they didn't.Even more disturbing was the years-long effort by local authorities to keep these documents hidden from the public. Journalists and advocates had to wage an extended legal battle just to unseal records that should have been transparent from the beginning—records that exposed how deeply the process was manipulated. Palm Beach officials fought the release at every turn, citing flimsy justifications and procedural red tape while ignoring the public's right to know how justice was subverted. Their resistance wasn't just bureaucratic—it was a calculated attempt to conceal their own complicity in one of the most disgraceful prosecutorial failures in recent memory. And when the documents finally did come out, they made one thing clear: the cover-up didn't start in Washington. It started right there in Palm Beach.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein transcripts - DocumentCloud

The process of unsealing federal grand jury records is deliberately difficult, wrapped in layers of legal insulation under Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Only a federal judge—not the President, not the Attorney General—can authorize disclosure, and even then, only if the requester demonstrates a “particularized need” that outweighs the default presumption of secrecy. Motions must be surgically precise, narrowly tailored, and supported by compelling legal justification. Even successful requests often result in redacted or restricted disclosures, not public transparency. The system is built to prioritize protection over exposure, and accountability often takes a backseat to process.While the courts claim this structure safeguards the integrity of justice, it frequently appears to serve power over truth—especially when politically sensitive material is involved. The legal mechanisms for disclosure exist on paper but function in reality as bureaucratic gatekeeping. Victims, journalists, and the public are told they can seek access, but few ever get it—and fewer still get anything meaningful. The result is a growing skepticism: that secrecy has become less about shielding the innocent and more about shielding the institution itself. The question is, will the courts continue to protect that secrecy at all costs, or will the demand for real transparency finally break through?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Plus, Elon Musk might be out of Washington, but Republicans are still moving forward on DOGE cuts. Rep. Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico joins The Weekend to discuss. And, Donald Trump loves to promote conspiracies. He is leading his administration into spending taxpayer dollars to investigate these easily disproven assertions.

Palm Beach officials fought the release at every turn, citing flimsy justifications and procedural red tape while ignoring the public's right to know how justice was subverted. Their resistance wasn't just bureaucratic—it was a calculated attempt to conceal their own complicity in one of the most disgraceful prosecutorial failures in recent memory. And when the documents finally did come out, they made one thing clear: the cover-up didn't start in Washington.

The once-sealed grand jury documents in the Jeffrey Epstein case revealed exactly what many had long suspected—that the original charges brought in Palm Beach bore little resemblance to the overwhelming evidence collected by law enforcement. Despite police uncovering more than 30 underage victims and compiling a mountain of corroborated, disturbing testimony, the grand jury returned a single, watered-down charge of solicitation of prostitution, and not even of a minor. The documents confirmed that critical witness statements and police findings were deliberately excluded from the process, raising serious questions about whether the grand jury was ever given a fair opportunity to pursue real justice.

Trump Vows To End ‘Democrat Scam,' Directs Bondi To Pursue Release Of Grand Jury Testimony From Epstein's Prosecution, Threatens Lawsuit After WSJ Hit Piece

Dalton Windsor was behind the microphone for this edition of the "Round-Up" program as Jim was away at Trail Ridge Camp in Hillsboro, Wisconsin. Dalton had plenty to bring to everyone's attention with the following stories taking the lead in the first half hour: Beloved Pastor John MacArthur passed away Monday at the age of 86. Dalton provided tribute message audio cuts from Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Todd Friel, Ray Comfort and Ken Ham on the ministry impact of Pastor MacArthur. The statewide death toll from the recent flooding in central Texas has risen to 135. President Trump said he's directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to release relevant Grand Jury testimony concerning anything related to Jeffrey Epstein. Billionaire Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone has had a complete turn-around regarding President Trump after first blasting the president and his sweeping tariffs. During a CNBC appearance, Langone said he was wrong in calling out the president back in April. Other stories dealt with Joe Biden's health and Secret Service security failures during the Donald Trump, Butler, Pennsylvania, rally. Listeners wrapped up the broadcast with their questions and comments.

Following the emergence of new evidence from messages submitted by the Department of Justice's whistleblower, Erez Reuveni, Andrew and Mary discuss its potential implications for the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the confirmation process of Emil Bove III. They also examine a Southern California ruling to halt immigration stops based on race. On the other coast, they look at a temporary block of Trump's order restricting birthright citizenship—a case where Mary has particular expertise via her role in a related birthright citizenship case: CASA v. Trump. Finally, SCOTUS paves way for mass layoffs of federal workers, and DOJ opens investigations into former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan.Listener Note: This podcast was recorded several hours before the Supreme Court decision allowing for the dismantling of the Department of Education. Andrew and Mary will discuss on next week's episode.Want to listen to this show without ads? Sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts.
