This week, Justin revisits episode 61 with trial lawyer Michael Pullara. Michael is a practicing trial lawyer from Texas who has spent more than 40 years representing an incredibly wide variety of clients. In the courtroom, he squared off against Italian mobsters, the U.S. Department of Defense, and giant telecom companies, among many others. He's here to talk about one of his most incredible endeavors: when he represented the family of Freddie Woodruff, a CIA case officer who was shot to death while on assignment in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia in 1993. This became a personal crusade for Michael as he was embroiled in the search for the truth behind Freddie's death for more than 10 years. As he dug further and further into the shooting, the capture of the alleged murderer, and his subsequent prosecution and conviction, Michael found that almost every single thing reported by Georgian authorities about what happened to Freddie was false. Michael's work eventually led him to personally confront the president of Georgia about Freddie's death in order to shed light on the event and try to bring the perpetrators to justice. In 2018, he published a book about his investigation into what really happened that day.

Tonight, in this incendiary investigative edition of Light ‘Em Up!We're burying our nose into the international intrigue, kidnapping and arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.The arrest of Maduro is not the first time the US has captured a sitting head of government in Latin America.In December 1989, the George H.W. Bush administration launched Operation Just Cause, deploying over 24,000 U.S. troops to depose Panama's Manuel Noriega and bring him to the United States to face federal drug-trafficking charges.For the longest time, President Trump has had a “hard on” for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.Maduro is accused by U.S. authorities of being one of the world's largest narco-traffickers, actively working with cartels to smuggle fentanyl-laced cocaine into the U.S. and engaging in narco-terrorism.In March 2020, Maduro was charged in a Southern District of New York federal indictment for:—     narco-terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine,—     possession of machine guns and destructive devices,—     and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices in violation of Title 21 U.S.C. §§ 960a and 963, and 18 U.S.C. § 924.—     The U.S. Government initially offered a reward offer of up to $15 million for any information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Nicolás Maduro Moros in 2020.  The Biden Administration's Department of State on January 8, 2025, announced raising the reward offer to up to $25 million and ultimately $50 million under Trump 2.0.President Trump's opposition to Maduro was driven by Maduro's alleged authoritarian governance, political corruption, and alleged involvement in large-scale drug trafficking.Trump also frequently criticized Maduro for undermining democratic elections (as he himself has done) and allying with U.S. geopolitical rivals like China, Russia, and Iran.In this episode, we'll shine the antiseptic light of the truth and examine:The allegations that Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro stand accused of — and have been indicted on.As you know from previous episodes of Light ‘Em Up:Criminal charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty at trial or by plea.—     Straight from the indictment we'll investigate the Trump administration's case and legal arguments …—     We'll examine the legal nuances of the DOJ indictment detailing narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges,—     As well as the international impacts and law that cover head of state sovereignty, state sovereignty and the “legality” of such a sweeping international action.—     All with an intense focus on the response from the EU, Latin America, China, Russia.Trump says, “The Venezuelan people are “Happy”.  We've learned differently.The fallout from this raid continues to shape international relations, with global leaders split between condemning the breach of sovereignty and supporting the removal of an autocratic regime.Arresting and extraditing your political enemies can serve as a convenient way to get rid of political rivals — but it doesn't make the process clean, easy or lawful.Was this massive use of military force in Caracas a violation of international law, and more specifically Article 2 §4 of The UN Charter?Is Mr. Maduro entitled to immunity as the head of state of a sovereign country?  The U.S. government maintains that he obtained the status through a fraudulent election. General Noriega made a similar claim and lost.Nicolás Maduro declared himself a prisoner of war, a status that the last Latin American leader seized by U.S. forces, Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega, also claimed.What will be the geopolitical impact for Venezuela and what does its future look like in conjunction with President Trump's declaration that the U.S. would “oversee” Venezuela's transition, and the subsequent installation of Maduro's Number 2 … interim president Delcy Rodríguez.These actions will certainly have broader geopolitical and energy implications for the region. The search for the truth and justice begins RIGHT HERE … and RIGHT NOW!Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

Haruto asked, but the two laughed and said, "It's just your imagination, Haruto."Ja: それでも、ハルトは確信しました。「何かがあるに違いない」と。En: Still, Haruto was convinced, "There must be something."Ja: その夜、ハルトは一人で調査を始めることに決めました。En: That night, Haruto decided to start investigating on his own.Ja: 音はいつも夜に現れます。En: The sound always appears at night.Ja: 勇気を出して、バンカーの奥深くまで進みました。En: Gathering his courage, he ventured deep into the bunker.Ja: 冷たい金属の壁が並ぶ暗い廊下を進むと、すぐに機械の低い唸り声があたりを包みました。En: As he walked down the dark corridor lined with cold metal walls, the low hum of machinery soon enveloped the area.Ja: 音の出所を探し続けるうちに、彼は古い錆びたドアを見つけました。En: As he continued to search for the source of the sound, he found an old rusty door.Ja: 「ここだ……ここから音が……」ハルトの心はドキドキしました。En: "Here... the sound is coming from here..." Haruto's heart pounded.Ja: 恐怖に怯えつつも、彼はドアノブに手をかけました。En: Despite his fear, he placed his hand on the doorknob.Ja: 「開けるしかない」と決心しました。En: "I have no choice but to open it," he resolved.Ja: ドアを開けると、そこには忘れ去られたような古い部屋がありました。En: When he opened the door, there was an old room that seemed forgotten.Ja: その部屋の片隅には、一台のラジオが置かれていました。En: In the corner of the room, there was a radio.Ja: ラジオはずっと同じメッセージを流していました。En: The radio had been playing the same message over and over.Ja: それは意味のわからない不思議な言葉でしたが、それを聴いた瞬間にハルトは確信しました。En: Although it was mysterious, incomprehensible words, Haruto was convinced the moment he heard it.Ja: 「僕の予感は間違っていなかったんだ」と。En: "My intuition wasn't wrong after all," he realized.Ja: ハルトはその日以来、もっと自分の直感を信じるようになりました。En: Since that day, Haruto began to trust his intuition more.Ja: そして、このバンカーの他の謎も解明していく決意を固めました。En: He resolved to uncover other mysteries of the bunker as well.Ja: 冷たいバンカーの中ですが、ハルトの心には新しい冒険の扉が開かれたのです。En: Although the bunker was cold, a new door of adventure had opened in his heart.Ja: 音の正体を知り、自分を信じる勇気と好奇心を持ったハルトは、新たな一歩を踏み出しました。En: Having discovered the identity of the sound and armed with the courage and curiosity to believe in himself, Haruto took a new step forward.
