This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Molly Roberts, Michael Feinberg, and Troy Edwards to talk through the week's big warrant-related national security news, including:“Tulsi Went Down to Georgia, She Was Looking for a Vote to Steal.” This past week, the FBI executed a warrant to search Fulton County's election center for ballots and equipment related to the 2020 election, with the help of an unlikely senior administration official: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who was reportedly there in-person at the order of President Trump. Observers are concerned that the search is the beginning of a broader effort to relitigate the 2020 election—especially as Trump calls for Republicans in Congress to “nationalize elections” in advance of the November mid-terms. What do we know about the legal basis for this search? And what does it tell us about what the Trump administration has planned for November?“I Hear the Jury's Still Out on the Fourth Amendment.” Over the past week, whistleblowers have revealed that ICE has issued a series of internal memos to agents advising that they do not need judicial warrants to detain or search the homes of people suspected of being undocumented immigrants. Instead, ICE has attempted to side-step the regular judicial process by suggesting that agents only need an administrative warrant, a controversial move that will almost certainly be challenged in court. What do we think of ICE's decision to shift to such a legally dubious policy, and where do we expect it to go from here?“Ex Post Justification.” Last month, the FBI conducted a search on the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson as part of an investigation into alleged leaks by a Defense Department contractor. During the search, agents seized Natanson's personal and professional devices, which drew concern from media outlets and civil liberty groups over potential First Amendment and privacy violations. A magistrate judge has now ordered that the FBI cannot access Natanson's materials at least for now, while some of these issues are litigated. How should federal law enforcement balance the need to conduct leak investigations with press freedoms? And is this case on the right side of the line?In object lessons, sometimes all you can do is cry: Molly is remembering better days for the Washington Post and mourning the fall of a once-great paper. Sometimes all you can do is get lost in the music: Mike is celebrating the still-great Miles Davis with the long-awaited release of The Complete Miles Davis Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965 on vinyl. Sometimes all you can do is laugh: Scott is delighting in his former State Department colleague's new Substack, Ridiculocracy. And sometimes, all you can do is wear something fabulous: Troy is modeling the new wardrobe must-have for the “Government in Exile.”To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

President Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan is reporting a sudden surge of "unprecedented cooperation" from local officials in Minnesota, potentially signaling a major shift in the standoff between federal agents and sanctuary jurisdictions. While high-profile clashes and calls for ICE reform from Democratic leaders in Washington continue, federal authorities are moving forward with nationwide bodycam rollouts and targeted mass deportation efforts. Former Acting Homeland Security Secretary, Chad Wolf, joins the Rundown to discuss why this shift in enforcement could become a nationwide model despite opposition from many Democrats. Jury selection continues in a landmark trial taking place in Los Angeles that will examine whether or not social media platforms are to blame for harmful addictions in children, causing suicides, bullying, and depression. Both TikTok and Snapchat were initially involved but have already settled, leaving Google and Meta as sole remaining defendants. FOX News Contributor and Constitutional Law expert, Jonathan Turley, joins us to discuss how difficult it will be to prove these companies are at fault, who's testimony will hold the most weight, and tells us about his news book, "Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution." Plus, commentary by Brilyn Hollyhand, 19-year-old political commentator, bestselling author of "One Generation Away: Why Now is the Time to Restore American Freedom," and host of "The Brilyn Hollyhand Show."

Three appellate judges heard oral arguments today in Charlie Adelson's bid to overturn his conviction in the murder-for-hire of Dan Markel. Adelson, currently serving life in a South Dakota prison, was not present as his attorneys argued he was denied a fair trial due to nearly a decade of pretrial publicity in Tallahassee. Defense attorney Michael Ufferman told Florida's First District Court of Appeal that 53 of 54 prospective jurors who formed an opinion believed Adelson was guilty before the trial began. He cited jurors discussing the case in violation of court orders and argued the entire panel should have been struck. The state countered that Adelson accepted the jury without objection and never filed a formal change of venue motion. Assistant Attorney General Robert Charles Lee delivered the prosecution's sharpest argument: Adelson is entitled to an impartial jury, not an impartial community. He maintained that any Florida jury would have convicted based on the evidence. The judges pressed both sides with pointed questions but did not indicate when a ruling would come. Adelson was convicted in November 2023 for orchestrating the 2014 murder of his former brother-in-law, an FSU law professor who was shot in his garage after a custody dispute. His mother Donna Adelson, convicted in September 2025, also has an appeal pending. Both are fighting their convictions from separate prisons.#CharlieAdelson #DanMarkel #AdelsonAppeal #TrueCrimeToday #MurderForHire #DonnaAdelson #FloridaCrime #AdelsonCase #TallahasseeMurder #MarkelCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Charlie Adelson wasn't in the courtroom today. He's sitting in a South Dakota prison while his appellate attorneys argued that his murder conviction should be reversed. The hearing before Florida's First District Court of Appeal lasted 40 minutes and centered on one core question: Was the Tallahassee jury pool so poisoned by pretrial publicity that a fair trial was impossible? Defense attorney Michael Ufferman laid out the numbers. Of 130 prospective jurors questioned during voir dire, 54 had formed an opinion about the case. Fifty-three of them believed Charlie was guilty. Jurors were caught talking about the case after being instructed not to. Ufferman argued the fix was simple — strike the panel, move the trial, start over. Instead, the trial proceeded and Charlie was convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation in the 2014 killing of his former brother-in-law, FSU law professor Dan Markel. The state pushed back forcefully. Assistant Attorney General Robert Charles Lee argued Charlie accepted the jury, never filed a written venue motion, and waived his right to complain. His blunt assessment: any jury in Florida would have reached the same verdict. The judges questioned both sides but issued no ruling. Charlie's mother Donna Adelson also has an appeal pending following her own conviction last year. The Markel case now moves into its final legal chapter.#CharlieAdelson #DanMarkel #AdelsonAppeal #TrueCrime #MurderForHire #DonnaAdelson #FloridaAppeal #AdelsonTrial #MarkelMurder #JusticeForDanJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Feds considered limiting men to ONE drink per day — and quietly removed all clear alcohol limits from new dietary guidelines. Is this about health… or control?
Jeffrey Deskovic's life changed forever when he was convicted of a murder he did not commit at just 17 years old. He maintained his innocence for the next 16 years and then, with the help of the Innocence Project, the real person responsible was finally caught and Jeff was released from prison. Now you may be asking yourself, 'Hey, how is this a GOOD story?' The answer is found in what Jeff did after this all happened: He went to law school, became an attorney and founded the Deskovic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted, their recovery, and reform of the system. This is one person's journey from the darkest of places to finding and creating his own light and we gotta tell ya, it doesn't get much more inspiring than this.

Brendan Banfield has been convicted of aggravated murder. The jury took nine hours and came back guilty on every count. A former federal agent is going to spend the rest of his life in prison because twelve people believed Juliana — the au pair who walked free with time served after her murder charge got dropped to manslaughter.Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down this verdict in real time. We're taking your questions and examining exactly what happened in that Virginia courtroom. The defense called Juliana bought and paid for. They hammered her deal, attacked her credibility, showed the jury a witness with every reason to lie. None of it worked.Bob explains where the defense strategy went wrong. The fundamental problem: they told jurors what didn't happen but never gave them something else to believe. You can poke holes in the prosecution's case all day. If you don't fill those holes with an alternative story, juries fill them themselves — usually with guilty verdicts.We're also breaking down Banfield's decision to testify. He took that stand and called the whole thing "absolutely crazy." He told the jury no reasonable person would kill their wife over a six-week fling. Bob analyzes whether that helped him or sealed his fate.The DNA wasn't on the knife. The digital forensics fight raised real questions about the investigation. None of it saved him. Join us live as we examine why — and take your questions about what comes next.#BrendanBanfield #BanfieldVerdict #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #ChristineBanfield #AggravatedMurder #TrueCrimeLive #DefenseStrategy #JulianaAuPair #LivePodcastJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Kouri Richins murder trial is two weeks away and the prosecution is facing a credibility crisis on multiple fronts.Defense attorneys just filed a motion accusing lead detective Jeff O'Driscoll and investigator Travis Hopper of intimidating state witnesses. Text messages attached to the filing allegedly show O'Driscoll threatening one witness with arrest and jail if she didn't submit to prep sessions she had refused. His message reportedly included a threat to return with "a warrant and a catch pole for the dog." A second witness claims Hopper warned that their immunity agreement could be revoked for declining additional interviews.This follows months of pretrial battles over evidence and witness credibility. In January, defense attorneys questioned O'Driscoll's truthfulness during suppression hearings about whether he knew Richins had an attorney when he interviewed her. Summit County brought in outside counsel to investigate. The defense also revealed that Robert Crozier — the man prosecutors say supplied the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins — has recanted, now claiming he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl.Prosecutors maintain substantial evidence still supports the charges. Judge Richard Mrazik denied Richins' third bail request in November, finding the recantation creates holes but not enough to undermine the case.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and maintains her innocence. She's been held in Summit County Jail since May 2023.

Wie immer diskutieren wir im ersten Teil unseres Programms aktuelle Ereignisse der Woche. Wir beginnen mit einer Analyse eines neuen umfangreichen Freihandelsabkommens zwischen der EU und Indien. Danach sprechen wir über die zunehmende Schuldenkrise der reichsten Länder der Welt. Die steigende Verschuldung bedroht die wirtschaftliche Stabilität und das Wirtschaftswachstum weltweit. In unserem Wissenschaftsteil sprechen wir heute über faszinierende Studien, die zeigen, wie Despotismus bei Menschen und Tieren entsteht. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des Programms mit einer Diskussion über den Begriff „Weinmutter", der nun als Beleidigung für Gegner der Einwanderungsbehörde ICE verwendet wird. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Das Thema der heutigen Grammatiklektion ist Der Infinitivsatz – Adverbial Phrases with „zu". Jedes Jahr wird in Deutschland ein Begriff, der als besonders zynisch gilt, zum „Unwort" des Jahres gewählt. 2025 war es „Sondervermögen", ein Begriff, der laut der Jury irreführend euphemistisch ist, da er die Debatte um die Schuldenaufnahme verschleiert. Karnevalssitzungen sind ein eher unterschätzter Teil des deutschen Karnevals. Von Gesang, Tanz und den berüchtigten Büttenreden ist dabei aber so gut wie alles vertreten. Da wird nicht um den heißen Brei herumgeredet, und genau das ist auch die Redewendung für diese Woche: Um den heißen Brei herumreden. EU und Indien unterzeichnen umfangreiches Freihandelsabkommen als Antwort auf globale Handelsturbulenzen Steigende Verschuldung der Industrieländer bedroht Weltwirtschaft und globales Wachstum Forschung erklärt Entstehung von Despotismus bei Menschen und Tieren US-Konservative beschimpfen Demonstranten gegen ICE als „Weinmütter" Das Unwort des Jahres 2025 Die Karnevalssitzung

More than 100 research studies show that soybeans typically suffer from a nitrogen gap when yields exceed 60 bu/ac. At that yield level, the combination of soil nitrogen and nodulation often doesn’t provide what the plant requires to achieve higher yields. Could biologicals — including nitrogen-fixing endophytes and biostimulants — fill that “yield gap” and... Read More
In Episode 16 of The No Treason Podcast, host Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's Trial by Jury, focusing on the historical role of juries as true courts of conscience. The episode explores how Anglo-Saxon legal systems decentralized power, placing judgment not in the hands of monarchs or professional elites, but in the people themselves. Jonathan walks through historical sources showing that juries judged both fact and law according to natural equity, not royal statutes, and examines how judges originally served as advisers rather than authorities. The discussion highlights how this structure acted as a safeguard against tyranny and why modern legal systems have drifted so far from this model. By tracing the evolution of jury power, this episode underscores the central argument that liberty is preserved not through elections or written laws alone, but through active participation by informed citizens exercising moral judgment.

On this episode of the podcast, ER physician and healthcare entrepreneur Dr. Ron Elfenbein joins the show to tell a story few Americans have heard from the inside.During the height of COVID-19, Dr. Elfenbein helped source PPE, designed intubation boxes, and worked to distribute monoclonal antibody treatments when hospitals were overwhelmed and options were limited. But after publicly criticizing the Biden Administration's decision to halt monoclonal antibodies and questioning vaccine mandates, Dr. Elfenbein found himself under federal indictment for healthcare fraud — charges stemming from billing disputes he says were selectively and politically pursued.After a grueling trial, a District Court acquitted him due to insufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict. But despite that acquittal, the weaponized Department of Justice has appealed the case, forcing Dr. Elfenbein back into court this August.If you would like to follow Dr. Elfenbein on X you can do so by searching for his handle: @RonElfenbeinMD.

Noah Donohoe was found dead in a storm drain in June 2020. For more on this our Northern Corresspondent, Conor McCauley.
A Texas jury delivered a not‑guilty verdict for former Uvalde school police officer Adrian Gonzales, clearing him of all 29 counts of child abandonment or endangerment tied to the Robb Elementary School shooting. Jurors deliberated just over seven hours before unanimously acquitting him. Gonzales, one of the first officers on scene, was accused of failing to confront the gunman and protect students during the 77‑minute delay in law enforcement’s response. Prosecutors argued he ignored active‑shooter training, while the defense said he was unfairly scapegoated for a broader systemic failure.

Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The defense suffered a major setback when the judge ruled that their scientific experts could not testify before the jury, forcing them to read affidavits into the record instead. H.L. Mencken, the acerbic journalist who dubbed the event the "Monkey Trial," covered the proceedings. Sympathetic to Darrow and critical of Bryan's"fanatic" views, Mencken influenced public perception, though the jury remained shielded from the scientific evidence the defense hoped to present.1960 FREDERIC MARCH AS WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN "INHERIT THE WIND"

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Kouri Richins is set to stand trial in February 2026 for the alleged fentanyl murder of her husband Eric Richins, and this week Judge Richard Mrazik handed down a cascade of pre-trial rulings that reshape everything. The prosecution wanted to paint Kouri as a woman who ran financial schemes for years before allegedly escalating to murder — but the judge just severed those fraud and forgery charges from the murder trial entirely. The jury won't hear them. The domestic violence expert prosecutors wanted to call? Barred. The FBI behavioral profiler? Severely limited. But the handwriting expert who says Kouri allegedly forged Eric's signature on insurance documents? He's in. The orange notebook containing what prosecutors call Kouri's firsthand account of the night Eric died? Conditionally admitted. The "Walk the Dog" letter found in her jail cell? Partially in. This episode breaks down every ruling from this week's hearings, what each one means for trial strategy, and how the battlefield has now been defined for both sides. We'll walk through the Valentine's Day sandwich allegation, the Moscow Mule, the $1.8 million debt versus the $5 million estate, the key witness who recanted, and why prosecutors are heading into this trial with a tighter case than they wanted. Jury selection begins February 10th. Five weeks of testimony starts February 23rd. Kouri Richins says she didn't do it. Twelve jurors will decide if they believe her.#KouriRichins #EricRichins #TrueCrime #FentanylMurder #UtahMurder #MurderTrial #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForEric #CourtTVJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

True Crime Today brings you the defense strategy for the most important witness in the Brendan Banfield murder trial. Juliana Peres Magalhaes is the prosecution's case. Without her testimony, they have a forensics expert who contradicted their theory, investigators who were transferred, and 19 months of spinning theories. Defense attorney Bob Motta explains how you destroy her credibility.Juliana spent a year in jail maintaining the same story Brendan told police. Then she flipped. She pleaded to manslaughter. She gets time served. She goes home to Brazil. Her sentencing is scheduled after Banfield's trial — to ensure she continues to cooperate. From jail, she wrote to her mother that she was "heartbroken for doing this to Brendan" and that she loved him.Motta breaks down how you use that letter on cross-examination. He explains how to frame her year-long lie for the jury — is she someone who finally told the truth, or someone who changed lies when the deal was right?The prosecution reduced her charge from second-degree murder to involuntary manslaughter. Motta explains how to make the jury understand the magnitude of what she received in exchange for her testimony.The prosecution is positioning Juliana as a reluctant participant. Motta dismantles that framing. He identifies the biggest mistakes defense attorneys make with cooperating witnesses — and what happens to the state's case if Juliana falls apart on the stand.#BrendanBanfield #JulianaPeresMagalhaes #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #DefenseAttorney #StarWitness #CrossExamination #AuPairMurder #PleaDeal #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
