Podcast appearances and mentions of Jamie Raskin

What happens when a system designed to uncover truth suddenly shuts its own lights off? In this gripping dual-segment episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dig deep into the psychology of institutional protection — and the escalating political pressure surrounding the Epstein network. In the first half, Robin Dreeke breaks down how organizations drift from accountability into silence. Drawing from decades in counterintelligence, he explains how fear, ambition, and self-preservation turn institutions into shields for the powerful. Using the DOJ's shutdown of the Epstein co-conspirator probe as a case study — based on concerns raised by Rep. Jamie Raskin in his congressional letter — Robin unpacks how “strategic ignorance,” internal pressure, and denial can override the pursuit of truth. This is not about partisanship; it's about psychology, and what happens when mission gives way to reputation. Then the story widens. In an unprecedented development, the U.S. House Oversight Committee has formally requested testimony from Prince Andrew regarding his historical association with Jeffrey Epstein. This request, signed by sixteen members of Congress, cites flight logs, financial entries, and survivor allegations — all of which Andrew has consistently denied. Tony breaks down what the congressional letter asks, why lawmakers say new information has emerged, and what cooperation or refusal could mean for Andrew and the monarchy's already fragile public standing. We analyze the survivor accounts, the alleged documents now in congressional hands, and how political bodies pursue answers when other institutions stand still. No conclusions — just the claims, the context, and the psychology behind why powerful systems protect themselves. If you've ever wondered why accountability stops at certain doorways, this episode lays bare the patterns. #HiddenKillers #EpsteinCase #InstitutionalPsychology #RobinDreeke #TonyBrueski #PrinceAndrew #CongressionalInquiry #DOJ #FBI #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tonight on Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski reads — in full — the November 3, 2025 letter sent by Congressman Jamie Raskin to Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanding answers about what he calls a “gigantic cover-up” surrounding the shutdown of the Epstein co-conspirator investigation. The claims laid out in this letter are extraordinary, and they raise questions that cut to the heart of how justice works in America. According to Raskin's letter, until early 2025 the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York was still pursuing leads involving Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's alleged co-conspirators. Nearly fifty survivors had reportedly provided testimony naming individuals connected to the trafficking network. Raskin alleges the investigation was active, growing, and producing evidence — until it was suddenly transferred from SDNY to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. Six months later, the case was closed. In his letter, Raskin asks the DOJ to explain: • Why a federal trafficking probe was halted mid-investigation • Why banks reportedly flagged over $1.5 billion in Epstein-linked transactions without follow-up • Why survivors whose testimony helped convict Ghislaine Maxwell were later assessed as “not credible” • And whether the closure protected certain individuals from scrutiny Tony Brueski reads the entire letter unedited and uninterrupted, allowing listeners to hear Raskin's concerns exactly as written. This episode does not claim the allegations are proven — it presents the congressional questions now publicly on the record. If these claims are accurate, the implications are enormous. If they're not, why were they raised at all? Tonight, you hear the letter — and decide for yourself. #JamieRaskin #EpsteinInvestigation #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #DOJ #FBI #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

That’s not a typo – 5 degrees Celsius of potential error. Only 19 pristine Class 1 sites remain capable of measuring actual ambient air temperature accurately. The rest? Located on airport runways, walled gardens, next to main roads, and inside solar farms. Places where concrete, engines, and infrastructure create artificial heat islands that have nothing to do with atmospheric temperature changes. The Met Office database also contains data from over 100 stations that don’t exist. They’re using “estimated” temperatures from unidentified neighboring stations and presenting it as real data. When journalist Ray Sanders started asking questions through Freedom of Information requests, the Met Office dismissed them as “vexatious” and “not in the public interest.” After media inquiries, the Met Office quietly removed estimated data from 3 non-existent stations. Of 17 new sites opened since April 2024, nearly 65% were immediately placed in the worst quality categories. UK Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance is calling scrutiny of this mess “misinformation” that weakens trust in science. Perhaps what actually weakens trust in science is using temperature readings from imaginary thermometers next to jet engines to justify trillion-pound Net Zero policies that reshape the entire economy. The data might be fine for tomorrow’s weather forecast. Using it to revolutionize Britain’s energy infrastructure? That requires stations that actually exist. https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/2003537920624677163?s=20 https://twitter.com/JeffPasquino/status/2003667251426197766?s=20   dollars” already – language and words are important – but this time the difference will be to the benefit of stablecoin holders. “But if it is pegged to the dollar, why will it matter?” you might wonder. That's a great question. The difference will be that today's bank accounts are in Federal Reserve “dollars”, which are debt-based, inflationary and losing value at a rapid pace. The new digital dollar stablecoins will be backed by gold or other assets (yet to be defined, but it's clearly how they're heading) and the purchasing power will go up. This is the first step out of the debt-based system enslaving most Americans – and by extension of the world reserve currency, most everyone in the Western world. People will eventually see that the asset-backed “digital dollar” is far superior to the Federal Reserve dollar. Once noticed, stablecoin dollars will be hoarded while Fed dollars will flood the market (Gresham's Law). No one will want the dying dollar -or any debt denominated in it – and much like the rise of gold and silver now against the Fed dollar, the digital dollar will also rise in value. Then everyone will transition, by choice, to an asset-backed currency without even knowing why they want those new dollars – they will just know that they hold value better. In other words, the “digital dollar” will actually be a store of value – evidence that it is actual money, not just a currency. Fix the money, fix the world.

The hunter becomes the hunted. For his long association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is facing a long list of repercussions that seem to have no end. Now, the avid hunter has surrendered his firearms license to the Met Police – the same police force who dropped the investigation into his alleged crimes. The Telegraph reported: “The former Duke of York, 65, agreed to give up his firearms and shotgun certificates last month after he was visited by the Metropolitan Police at Royal Lodge in Windsor.   Andrew in Sandringham on the lap of five redacted women – presumably Epstein victims.

Internal documents show “Kill Musk’s Twitter” at the top of the list. Not “reduce hate speech” or “improve online safety.” Kill Twitter. Destroy the platform entirely because Elon wouldn’t play ball with their censorship demands. These groups operated by labeling anything they disagreed with as “misinformation” or “hate speech,” then lobbying governments to force platforms to remove it. Clare Melford’s Global Disinformation Index used U.S. taxpayer money to create scoring systems that effectively blacklisted conservative American news outlets, steering advertisers away from them to financially strangle speech they opposed. Breton personally sent threatening letters to Elon warning of consequences under EU law right before his live interview with Trump during the campaign. Now the banned activists are claiming this is an “authoritarian attack on free speech” and calling it “immoral, unlawful, and un-American.” These are the same people who built entire careers pressuring tech platforms to silence voices they found problematic. Suddenly they care deeply about censorship when it affects them. Free speech isn’t negotiable. It’s not something governments should regulate away because certain viewpoints make them uncomfortable, whether in Europe or America.

The Somalians have nice cars like BMWs and Mercedes @Brookerteejones “Here in Minnesota, a local realtor reached out to me to tell me about another way that Somalians are scamming Minnesotans out of their taxpayer dollars. In her community alone, Somalians have bought up over 455 homes. They buy these homes claiming they’re turning these homes into home health care centers. She says the way we know Somalians have bought these homes is because all of a sudden extremely nice cars start showing up. Mercedes, BMWs, the nicest cars are parked in the driveway. She said, by law, the state will not come out and inspect these homes and make sure these homes even have clients living in these homes. — Somalians have bought that home and they’re using that as a home health care center. She said these homes can even take people in who’ve just been released from jail and the neighborhood does not need to know about this. But she says, many of these homes do not even have clients in them. But the state is writing them checks every month for the clients that the Somalians say are in these homes. These Somalians are making millions of dollars off of these homes every year.” “The Somalians have figured out exactly the perfect plan as to how to scam Minnesota taxpayers out of their money. They are banking on this making millions of dollars and the government here in Minnesota is too lazy to go and check it out and to see if there’s even clients living in these homes.

Raskin posted a video on X on Monday, pitching ranked-choice voting as a cure-all for American politics. The video was released after he reintroduced H.R. 6589, a bill that would mandate ranked-choice voting in elections for the U.S. House and Senate nationwide. Under the system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated and ballots are “redistributed” to remaining candidates until someone crosses the 50 percent threshold. Raskin even praised races where candidates who finished second in the first round ultimately “catapulted ahead” after vote redistribution. In Alaska, where RCV flipped a Republican seat to Democrat Mary Peltola despite 60% of voters backing GOP candidates, the system exhausted ballots and ignored second choices for top vote-getters. In New York, socialist Zohran Mamdani led on election night with 43.5% of first-choice votes, but after several rounds of eliminations and redistributions, he was declared the winner with 56%, while Andrew Cuomo finished with 44%. A study of Maine elections found that, of 98 recent ranked choice elections, 60 percent of the victors did not win by a majority of the total votes cast. RCV opens doors to fraud and manipulation. The multi-round tabulation delays create gaps ripe for accusations of tampering, while exhausted ballots mean winners often lack true majority support. Sites like RCVScam.com expose how it lets initial also-rans steal victories, undermining “one person, one vote.” In 2025 alone, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and South Carolina prohibited ranked-choice voting, joining 11 other states for a total of 17 bans. It is a scam, and Americans should push back hard.

The 6-3 decision left in force a judge's ruling that has blocked the deployment since Oct. 9. “At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the majority said. The government hadn't shown the president could legally “federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.”   Justice Samuel Alito dissented from the high court's ruling Tuesday, saying he had “serious doubts” about the majority's reasoning. “The Court fails to explain why the President's inherent constitutional authority to protect federal officers and property is not sufficient to justify the use of National Guard members in the relevant area for precisely that purpose,” Alito wrote, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote a separate dissent, contending that the challengers to the National Guard deployment – the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago – had forfeited the argument about the meaning of “regular forces” by failing to present that issue in the lower courts. Trump contends military force is needed to protect federal immigration agents from what he claims are violent protests.   Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2003592327244447867?s=20   cause the President to use the US military more than the National Guard”. The Supreme Court just admitted that Trump has the authority to invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass Posse Comitatus and send the troops to Chicago, and any other city he wants. Trump tried to exhaust every legal avenue possible before resulting to the Insurrection Act, but the Dems resisted and refused to cooperate. Sounds to me like Trump just got the green light.

Especially when the MSM are compromised and telling the public that Trump is literally Hitler and is going to unleash a military dictatorship. This had to be done delicately, as not to cause panic. The public must be psychologically prepared. That's why Trump has been giving us soft disclosure about the Insurrection Act for a long time. They have been mentally preparing us for what they knew had to be done, by showing us why it needed to be done. Here he is back in September addressing all his Generals, and reminded them how Washington and Lincoln used the military to keep the peace.

Rachel Maddow shares a look at how outrage over government corruption in Bulgaria prompted massive protests and eventually the resignation of the prime minister and his government. And in the United States, for all of Donald Trump's unpopular policies being protested across the country, the self-dealing and corruption that has become his administration's hallmark may ultimately be what leads to Trump's downfall. Julie K. Brown, investigative reporter for the Miami Herald who first exposed the scandal of how the Jeffrey Epstein case was handed, talks with Rachel Maddow about feedback she is receiving from survivors of Epstein's abuse about finding their own names in released documents despite heavy redactions that appear to make a greater priority of protecting the identities and information of people involved with Epstein than to protect his victims as the law instructs.Rep. Jamie Raskin joins to discuss how an ownership change and recent editorial decisions by CBS News is raising concerns that Donald Trump and the billionaires who support him are making progress on building state media.

The Author Events Series presents Jill Lepore  | We the People : A History of the U.S. Constitution Meelya Gordon Memorial Lecture Standby seating will be available in the overflow room for guests who wish to wait for an opportunity to be seated in the main auditorium, if space permits. These standby seats will be available on a first come, first served basis. Auditorium seats are not guaranteed. In Conversation with Kate Shaw Published on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding-the anniversary, too, of the first state constitutions-We the People offers a wholly new history of the Constitution. ''One of the Constitution's founding purposes was to prevent change,'' Lepore writes. ''Another was to allow for change without violence.'' Relying on the extraordinary database she has assembled at the Amendments Project, Lepore recounts centuries of attempts, mostly by ordinary Americans, to realize the promise of the Constitution. Yet nearly all those efforts have failed. Although nearly twelve thousand amendments have been introduced in Congress since 1789, and thousands more have been proposed outside its doors, only twenty-seven have ever been ratified. More troubling, the Constitution has not been meaningfully amended since 1971. Without recourse to amendment, she argues, the risk of political violence rises. So does the risk of constitutional change by presidential or judicial fiat. Challenging both the Supreme Court's monopoly on constitutional interpretation and the flawed theory of ''originalism,'' Lepore contends in this ''gripping and unfamiliar story of our own past'' that the philosophy of amendment is foundational to American constitutionalism. The framers never intended for the Constitution to be preserved, like a butterfly, under glass, Lepore argues, but expected that future generations would be forever tinkering with it, hoping to mend America by amending its Constitution through an orderly deliberative and democratic process. Lepore's remarkable history seeks, too, to rekindle a sense of constitutional possibility. Congressman Jamie Raskin writes that Lepore ''has thrown us a lifeline, a way of seeing the Constitution neither as an authoritarian straitjacket nor a foolproof magic amulet but as the arena of fierce, logical, passionate, and often deadly struggle for a more perfect union.'' At a time when the Constitution's vulnerability is all too evident, and the risk of political violence all too real, We the People, with its shimmering prose and pioneering research, hints at the prospects for a better constitutional future, an amended America. Jill Lepore is the David Woods Kemper '41 Professor of American History at Harvard University and professor of law at Harvard Law School. She is also a staff writer at The New Yorker. Her many books include the international bestseller These Truths: A History of the United States. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Today's Headlines: Federal investigators finally arrested a suspect in the January 6th pipe bomb case — 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. — though AG Pam Bondi says they still don't know the motive and didn't get any new tips. Meanwhile, pardoned J6 defendant Taylor Taranto popped up near Rep. Jamie Raskin's house, prompting another bump in security during what's starting to feel like a never-ending wave of threats. The DOJ is also trying to re-indict Letitia James and James Comey after their earlier cases collapsed thanks to the administration forgetting you actually need legitimate prosecutors. A new grand jury declined to indict James on mortgage fraud, and the GAO has now opened an investigation into FHFA director Bill Pulte — the guy reportedly cooking up the bogus mortgage probes against Trump enemies. Trump declared he's solved war again, announcing “peace” between Rwanda and militant forces in the DRC… despite fighting still happening. Over in the real war he can't magically fix, Putin rejected the latest Ukraine peace draft after chats with Kushner & Witkoff. And according to a leaked call, European leaders warned Zelensky that the U.S. might screw Ukraine over in negotiations. At home, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that Texas can use its aggressively gerrymandered congressional map for 2026 — a huge boost to Republicans. In”people who won't go away” news, Mike Lindell is now running for governor of Minnesota. And finally, the NFL announced new uniform field-safety standards for all stadiums by 2028, presumably so players stop shredding their knees to enhance player safety.

Jen Psaki rounds up reporting and developments from just the past 24 hours that paint Donald Trump's secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, into an even tighter corner, not the least of which is a newly uncovered video from 2016 in which Hegseth talks about war crimes and troops not following illegal orders, the same message he has been criticizing Democrats for delivering in a recent PSA video.Newly released photos and videos of Jeffrey Epstein's island estate have made Donald Trump's nightmarish news week even worse. Rep. Jamie Raskin discusses the steady progress being made on releasing the Epstein investigation files despite Trump's efforts to suppress them.The special election in Tennessee's Seventh District may seem like a typical Republican win in a solidly Republican district, but political experts see a grave vulnerability for Republicans nationwide in the much narrower margin of victory by Republican candidate Matt Van Epps. Faiz Shakir, executive director of More Perfect Union, and Brendan Buck, former senior advisor to Republican House speakers, talk with Jen Psaki about how the outcome of the Tennessee has changed the political landscape looking ahead to the 2026 midterms.  Rep. Ilhan Omar sings the praises of her Somali-American community and reminds Americans of what Donald Trump is neglecting and failing at in his job while he works himself up insulting Somalia.

In November 2025, newly released documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein revealed that Stacey Plaskett (D-U.S. Virgin Islands) exchanged messages with Epstein during a February 2019 congressional hearing involving Michael Cohen. The texts showed Epstein offering advice on questioning strategy (including prompting “RONA – keeper of the secrets,” a reference to Trump executive assistant Rhona Graff) and congratulating Plaskett's questioning with “Good work.” Plaskett's office acknowledged Epstein as a constituent (he owned islands in the territory) but denied that he was directing her actions. A GOP-led motion to censure Plaskett and strip her from the House Intelligence Committee failed by a narrow margin.During the floor debate on the resolution, Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) defended Plaskett by saying Republicans were effectively “arraigning a Democratic member for taking a phone call from her constituent, Jeffrey Epstein” during a hearing. He argued there was no specific House rule forbidding such contact and that the resolution was premature—“you don't get answers by rushing to judgment and turning the whole process upside-down,” he said. Raskin thus framed Plaskett's interaction as part of her representative role rather than evidence of wrongdoing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as the Epstein files case begins to unravel, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., was ridiculed as "dishonest" and "sick" after arguing from the House floor that his former law school student and colleague was only "taking a phone call from her constituent" when she was texting disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 House hearing. Republicans on Tuesday, led by Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., introduced a resolution to censure Plaskett for "inappropriate coordination with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein," which it says "reflects discreditably on the House of Representatives." The House voted 427-1 to open the files. Also voters blame the GOP for healthcare increases, a close look at the cost of living increases and a breakdown of populous by city of children under the age of five.

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell may be serving a 20-year sentence — but according to a federal whistleblower and a new congressional letter, she's living more like a guest than an inmate. House Democrats led by Rep. Jamie Raskin are demanding answers from the Department of Justice after explosive allegations surfaced that Maxwell is receiving VIP treatment at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas. Reports claim she's enjoying custom-delivered meals, after-hours private workouts, unmonitored computer access, and even direct help from the warden in preparing a sentence-commutation request to former President Donald Trump. Maxwell — who helped Jeffrey Epstein run his international sex-trafficking operation — was convicted in 2021 and transferred to the minimum-security Texas camp despite her sex-offender status. The whistleblower alleges her transfer followed a private interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, formerly Trump's attorney, raising questions about political influence, favoritism, and potential misuse of federal authority. In this episode, Tony Brueski exposes what's in the congressional letter, what the DOJ is being asked to explain, and why this could signal one of the most disturbing breakdowns in accountability yet. Is the justice system bending once again for the powerful? Has Ghislaine Maxwell found a way to turn her secrets into leverage? And what does this say about the ongoing rot inside the system that let Epstein operate for decades?

In this episode, Tony Brueski exposes what's in the congressional letter, what the DOJ is being asked to explain, and why this could signal one of the most disturbing breakdowns in accountability yet. Is the justice system bending once again for the powerful? Has Ghislaine Maxwell found a way to turn her secrets into leverage? And what does this say about the ongoing rot inside the system that let Epstein operate for decades? All the facts, all the outrage — only on Hidden Killers. #HiddenKillers #GhislaineMaxwell #Epstein #Trump #FederalPrison #JamieRaskin #DOJ #TrueCrime #Whistleblower #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In one of the most damning congressional letters in recent history, Rep. Jamie Raskin is demanding answers from Attorney General Pam Bondi after the Department of Justice quietly killed the ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators. Until January 2025, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York was running an active case—interviewing survivors, issuing subpoenas, and pursuing leads on Epstein's vast network of abusers and enablers. Nearly fifty women provided names, timelines, and evidence connecting at least twenty powerful men to Epstein's operation. Then, overnight, everything stopped. The Trump DOJ ordered the files transferred to Washington, D.C. By July, the FBI and DOJ had closed the case, issuing a one-page memo claiming there was “no evidence” to continue. Raskin calls it what it is: a gigantic cover-up. In his letter, he accuses the DOJ of abandoning survivors, firing prosecutors, dismissing credible witnesses, and refusing to investigate over $1.5 billion in suspicious Epstein-linked transactions flagged by major banks. Even worse, FBI Director Kash Patel told Congress the victims were “not credible”—the same women whose testimony convicted Ghislaine Maxwell beyond a reasonable doubt. This episode breaks down Raskin's explosive letter line by line—how the DOJ buried one of the largest sex-trafficking investigations in U.S. history, what it means for survivors, and what Congress plans to do next. Because if the government can erase the Epstein files this easily, who will they protect next?

Tonight, we're not summarizing — we're reading it. This is the full, unedited November 3, 2025, letter from Congressman Jamie Raskin to Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanding answers about what he calls a “gigantic cover-up” inside the Department of Justice surrounding the shutdown of the Epstein co-conspirator investigation. In this extraordinary letter, Raskin lays out a timeline that should shake every American who believes in justice.  He reveals that until January 2025, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York was actively investigating Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's co-conspirators, supported by testimony from nearly 50 survivors naming at least 20 men involved in the trafficking network. Then, suddenly, the investigation was transferred to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. Six months later, the case was declared closed — “no evidence found.” Raskin's letter questions everything:  ⚖️ Why the DOJ shut down a live federal sex-trafficking probe.

In a shockingly brazen move, President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him $230 million stemming from certain federal actions against him. Representative Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, sent a scalding letter to the White House demanding all internal communications on this shakedown. What struck us was the letter's forceful indictment of Trump's corruption and criminality: It denounced Trump's “blatantly illegal and unconstitutional effort to steal $230 million from the American people” and his “outrageous and shocking” effort to “shake down” the Treasury, labeling this straight-up “theft.” There's much more, and it made critical legal points as well. We talked to the University of Michigan's Leah Litman, author of Lawless, a book on the Supreme Court. We discuss Raskin's letter, the legal nitty-gritty of Trump's heist, how it exemplifies the MAGA movement more broadly, and how the Supreme Court brought us to this dangerous moment.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?
